Turkey surpasses its opponent in terms of technical quality and creativity. Players such as Arda Güler, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Orkun Kökçü, and Ferdi Kadıoğlu are at the level to decide the fate of the game. Especially Arda Güler’s World Cup debut is followed with great interest.
Australia, meanwhile, has taken the field with a young and energetic lineup. Head coach Tony Popović made a surprising decision by giving Patrick Beach a chance while keeping the experienced goalkeeper Matt Ryan on the bench./Musavat.com
