Part of me thinks this could be a wild game, something akin to Turkey's match against Germany way back in 08. Turkey have some key suspensions though

Hey that's how the croissant was born

Europe's oldest rivalry.

Calhanoglu is a big loss, but they have some options who could step in and help the kids make things happen if that Austrian press doesn't get to them.

Last match of the R16 up

Hopefully the unlikeliest matchup gives some entertainment as this knockout round has been awful so far

Every chance this will be the best R16 match. An Austrian team noted for trying to make things happen offensively playing in perhaps their biggest match in 50 years, a Turkey team not known for defending but with plenty of skill and tons of fans from both teams to create a heated atmosphere.

Quick start to the game.
Turkey off the corner

 

[Jussi]

Turkey!

 

[Power Man]

Turkey!!!!

lets goooooool

 

[OKR]

This should be the most entertaining game of R16, and so far looks like it.

 

[Jack Straw]

Wait, WHAT???

 

[Tryamw]

Austria tries to tie it

This game is going to be a lot of fun.

Great corner by Arda, kid's sooo good

Give me some time to adapt...

Gobble gobble gobble

 

[Tryamw]

How'd that not be tied

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

My pre-game prediction basically already true 5 minutes in.

FOX commentators: "Austria has to score, no Austria will score".

Watch them lose 3-0 getting ruthlessly hit on the counter.

 

[luiginb]

Feels like a Turkey home game..

 

[Jussi]

Sabitzer, cornrows? Really?

Looks painful af

Also quick yellow for the homophobe, I like this ref.

That's literally every Turkey game played on German soil. It could be a Turkey/Germany Final and it'd feel like a Turkey home game. It's similar to Mexico in the U.S.

I remember a few years back Germany beat Turkey in a match in Berlin and the German fans chanted "Auswärtssieg!" i.e. "Away Win!" (the standard chant for German away team fans when in the lead).
