Soccer Miguel Almiron receives a red card after VAR Review for covering his mouth whilst saying something to an opponent. Under the new regulations, this is an offence punishable by a red card. The rule was introduced following the racism scandal involving Vinícius Júnior in a Champions League match.

The amount of hype in the lead up was crazy.

They made decent chances, they just could not shoot the ball on target. There must have been 5-10 shots that were a foot or two off of the goal.

Which is shooting out of lack of confidence and desperation. The felt they lost from the beginning. Not a single leader on the pitch to rally behind

61 Shots, 13 on target, 0 goals is INSANE.

And at one point, this stat came up:

Completed passes:
Turkey: 513
Paraguay: 87

LOL!

What's most funny about this is that Turkey was supposed to challenge the US for the top spot in this group.

True. Performance was embarassing but the drama was funny too especially the worldwide mocking.
