Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
In the second half, Turkey put up a good fight. However, they still struggled to penetrate Spain's formidable defense. It's a shame Turkey lost so badly, in my opinion. The 6-0 loss was completely unexpected. Although I knew Spain would win by a large margin, 6 goals without reply was beyond my expectations.
Spain looks set to continue its dominance. I'm confident this team will mature even further in the upcoming World Cup. The young players on this team have plenty of room to develop based on their increasing experience.

I expected a challenge from both sides, but Turkey's performance was too poor. The same defensive mistakes led to all the goals they conceded. They were desperate in their attacking approach, which Spain used as an opportunity to score all their goals. Honestly, I was so disappointed by Turkey's performance. Spain played brilliantly and deserved to win double assists from Lamine Yamal, Pedri scored brace and Merino scored hat trick, I expected Lamine Yamal to score a goal, but I liked how he chose to play for the team and provided assists instead. If Spain continues to play like this, I'm sure they'll have a significant impact on the world cup.
Turkey performance against Spain was indeed very poor even when they had the home advantage,they still ended up conceding six goals at the end. It was a shameful defeat that was least expected, although their defeat couldn't have been averted anyway especially since it was Spain they were challenging. Spain is a very strong opponent that hasn't lost a single game in their last 10 encounters. With the winning streak Spain have been maintaining,I knew turkey fates have been decided but I never imagined it would be this bad. However turkey wouldn't have conceded this much goals if they had a very strong defense and it also appears that Turkish players weren't adequately trained to face Spain
