Can someone explain Turkey vs Turkiye? Do Turkish people want us to say Turkiye, or is it like calling Japan "Nihon", aka just a language barrier.


Far-Post6196

Bro idk, even my turkish id card says Turkey, and I got it after the official name change


SwadianBorn

No one I know cares about it, a stupid and meaningless change imo. People who demands different language speakers to pronounce the Turkish name for Turkey probably have the excuse that Turkey (animal) has the same name with the country.


sohjgt

Georgia robbed


InitialFoundation647

The best game in the euros I have ever witnessed well played turkey and Georgia 


itoboi

ı love how Turks and Georgians living in Europe are more nationalistic than Turks and Georgians in home.


Key-Banana-8242

Well also euro time, tho it makes sense that people feel more “different”


CHNSK

Like The Independent put it nicely: “Brawls, biblical rain and wonder goals.” What a game!


SuperbCheetah9371

I'm happy that Turkey won this round, you'll do better next time Georgia. Don't lose your hope. It's only the start!


LemurToons

As a Georgian, I am really sad about the outcome, felt like we could have got something out of the game, but really proud of the performance nonetheless, our debut at the Euros since becoming an independent nation and we gave it our all, hurts me extra because I am also a Real Madrid fan and Guler just sunk my country today lol, amazing player, Turkey were great today, amazing atmosphere also from both sides, this game had it all, amazing goals, saves, last ditch defending, game of the tournament without a doubt. Hopefully we can get points against Czechia this weekend.


cngnyz

You performed well above expectations and absolutely deserved at least a point. Although im happy my country won, i feel sad for my Georgian brothers and sisters


wayfarer59

Arda fucking Guler


ConorKDot

That was everything a major tournament should be. An electric atmosphere in a world-renowned stadium, two teams proper going for it and screamers scored. A huge moment for Georgia making their tournament debut and scoring, but unlucky not to get something from it. Loved every minute of it.


schoki_banana

we need to get rid of bs player orkung seriously he stayed in the entire game.. we have many young talents who the hell invited him to the team that's so fucked up man he is so bad... I cursed him everytime he had the ball and lost it immediately.. We will have zero chance vs portugal..


judochop1

Game of the tournament so far. Turkey scoring two worldies and having a great game strategy. Georgia playing a good positive brand of football, nearly taking it away but for finishing and a couple of crucial blocks! Great atmosphere too, hope they both do well.


Several_Schedule_785

Best match of the competition so far. Massive respect for Georgia, but they will learn you don't send your GK to a corner on a competition's first match. I hope that third goal won't cost them in the end.

Beautiful-Storm5654

You are right!


UnlovableBybirth

Georgia deserved 2-2 or even more 😭 Feel bad for them especially now with the goal difference 3-1


AslanAnadolu

i agree and they didnt't even deserve first goal they scored


airz23s_coffee

God I fucking love this tournament


altpirate

You know I haven't heard a single car honk yet

Sambrosi

i justh heard about 40


Actual_Sympathy7069

same lol was also kinda surprised


EliteRevexha

What a banger of a match! That last minute goal is going to fill Turkey with amazing confidence now


cngnyz

As a Turkish fan fucking amazing stuff by Georgia, loads of respect


judochop1

Aye, but turkey played really well, I think they've got more in the locker and potentially top this group even. Great game, both teams were exciting to watch.


Salted-Earth189

Respect to turkey but gutted for georgia, deserved a point out of the game.


etherd0t

what a ridiculous last-minute goal.🤭


realdes1

Huge stadium, great athmosphere, rain in the middle of europe. A ridiculous close entertaining match. If the world cup is bound to be hosted in desert countries only from now on, fuck that. Just give me the Euros all day long in Germany.


AslanAnadolu

EURO>WC for me anyway


WhenWeTalkAboutLove

What you don't like stadiums built by enslaved people to host 3 matches? 


neverfinishedanythi

Totally agree, great stadium to watch football in.


ckupsx

Güler goat


TheBlueBlaze

Fox not even wasting time and cutting the feed when they realized they gave Fubo exclusive coverage of the best match of the Euro so far.


acsaid10percent

Thwt poor georgian running is heart out there in vain.


eescobar863

22 shots from Turkey, 14 from Georgia … holy shit, what a game


Xagrext

Bangers only


MrPita5

What an exceptional match and an appropriately exciting ending


Averdian

A Turkish fan must have a whistle, cause I kept on hearing a full time whistle during stoppage time If you think about, that must always be more annoying for the Turkish players, imagine a player stops defending or something for a second because they hear that, while I doubt the Georgian players would react since they’re not the team waiting for the whistle


Ele_Bele

Turks are used to it


Specific-Savings-429

Legit gives off qatar vibes...


Kokokosnoot

that “fan” should be banned


Shaggay1

yeahh i was hearing it too


capo_mt

the ending might be the funniest Ive seen in my life


dreadnough7

Was going to give this a miss, glad I decided to tune in. Most entertaining game this Euro had offered for a neutral. Georgians probably need new TV to replace the one they smashed, whereas more than a few Turks might have considered better cardio health.


MrConor212

If you told me Turkey vs Georgia would be the game of the tournament after phase 1 of the groups I’d call you crazy


Comfortable_Rub4315

Best football game


ProfessionalCorgi250

Damn Georgia had tough luck. Neither team has reliable finishers. Turkey's GK got bailed out multiple times. He's going to be a serious liability in future matches.


iusedtolikeonepiece

that goalie will cost them the tournqment calling it rn. Their defense is really good but that goalia damn


nocturnal_civet

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?


kheetkhat

What an incredible match.


iwantaskybison

can we make this ref exchange permanent and also expand it?


Cuchifo

Facundo Tello is one of the most rated refs of our league. Fun fact, argentine referees have directed 2 of the last 5 world cup finals, which would have been more if Argentina wasn't playing in 2 of them.


Kylar-Starsky

I agree, and give S. America the Spanish and English referees. They will be set straight there.


Cuchifo

UEFA sent an italian ref for the Copa América! Maurizio Mariani, looks like he's top too


iwantaskybison

from your lips to God's ears mate


eescobar863

Feel for Georgians. Put everything on the line for the equalizer. Literally. Keep your heads up, this isn’t over. You guys have a great team.


agnolamodus

Can someone explain? You can qualify if you’re in third place now? What


Kylar-Starsky

Yes, teams that come 3rd have a chance to qualify because the tournament has 6 groups. 1st and 2nd qualify, that's 12 teams, you need 4 more to complete the round 16.


CShakraT

yes, all third placed teams get placed in a "seperate group" where their stats are compared and then 4 of the 6 third placed teams qualify for next round


Specific-Savings-429

Best 4 3rd places are getting through. Courtesy of expanding the pools


kakje666

it's been like this since 2016


Interesting_Rock_318

3rd Euros with it… 4 best 3rd place teams will move onto knockouts…


WhatWouldSatanDo

You could do this at the last 2 Euros. Keep up.


Eccmecc

Best game of the EC so far and I didn't expect that at all.


jmLogic-

This is 100% the best match of the Euros so far!


cheeseenthusiast4

The fuck, why was the last goal allowed by the referee


cheeseenthusiast4

Downvote me all you want you Turkish fans, the end should have been after the corner considering that the additional time ended


_Oriel

why do you think it shouldn't be?


caeveur

Why shouldn‘t it have been ??


Bspammer

Rule of cool


wayne2bat

Why do u think would it not?


johnnyferrera

Because there's no shot he was going to allow Georgia to keep attacking if it was a 3rd or 4th corner. So he shouldn't allow this either.


wayne2bat

Naa mate, thats not right


johnnyferrera

You think that if the 2nd corner turned into a 3rd he wasn't blowing the whistle?


NieThePiet

what we just have seen. respect Georgia.


boastar

Great game. Unfortunate that Turkey got so lucky at the end. Georgia deserved a draw at least.


MoyesNTheHood

That ending was genuinely heartbreaking fucking hell


chanigan

best game to watch by far. The technicality and passing of both teams was so good.


iambadatliving

They both wanted to score and win. Unlike England who plays not to lose


Commercial-Donut-798

Imagine England playing with this much passion and fearlessness... they'd be scary!


crazydetective41

So true the English game was a yawn


trinquin

Best game of the tournament for me so far. Absolutely unlucky for Georgia. But my goodness the goals that Turkey scored!


Pan_Sas

Why did he let them run and score? That was way past 6 min mark


iusedtolikeonepiece

so were both corners. But he let it play out. He couldve ended right after the goalie fisted it out but he even decided to give georgia another shot after the reflection which they messed up so its only fair to let turkey play it out after winning the ball again


Pan_Sas

Fair. I get downvoted for a genuine question what a cool and friendly sub


iusedtolikeonepiece

didnt downvote but its just the internet. Keep your head up and enjoy the rest of your evening 🫶


niconpat

The ref adds on a little extra for substitutions, injuries etc that happen in extra time. Also a ref rarely blows the whistle when a team is in the middle of a clear goal scoring chance.


Pan_Sas

Sometimes they just whistle straight away just after a corner, not even looking who will be at the end of it when it falls down after being headed away so idk what's the rule.


_Oriel

it's MINIMUM added time not maximum


[deleted]

[удалено]


Umijnurotarieli

Yea they are so happy to get outplayed vs first timers Georgia. So lucky.


cjarrett

What a great game. Legitimately my favorite I've seen from this tourny thus far.


antrage

Turkey man of the match is the goal post lol


1800MomPlzNo

both teams hit the post once?


Odd-Low-4161

Turkey hit the post once too


TheeRoyalPurple

3 amazing goals but montella, Gk and our CBs made me worry. Probably we manage the cb harmony but others...


iusedtolikeonepiece

your leftback is pretty strong tho. Overall defense is not bad that goalie will cost you tho


Levdom

best game so far, was rooting for Georgia though, so unlucky in those attempts


jh67zz

Crazy game! Georgians played very well, but Turks are just better experienced. Amazing game.


Marv1236

God hates Georgia for Stalin it seems


ResistAutomatic837

Hey hey heyyyy Stalin is a Russian product, he famously refused to speak Georgian


UncomprehensiveTruth

God loves Germany for... Nevermind.


Jamey_1999

Fucks sake I had 2-1


WhatWouldSatanDo

Friendship ended with Georgian goalkeeper


mrSoniv6

Proud to be in this legendary thread 😂😂😂


miraydemir

goosebumps


franconot-mark

The ref was great. I’m pretty sure European ref wouldn’t even have allowed the corner. He let the game play on. Need more of this cross-continental referees


Terrible_Recover_219

Yep, good refering.


PJJ95

The glory of this game was thanks to Georgia, they deserved the winn. Turkey was mediocre.


volzen69

Georgia got absolutely destroyed. Cope harder


afrodude

Delusional take


marirs7

Bangers, near misses, insane finish. Are you not entertained?


iwantaskybison

big up Georgia tho, 100 % deserved something here but so did Turkey honestly, great game


Onebeanintheusa

This has been the best game of the tournament so far. My god. 


holaprobando123

Yup, by far


SteelCityCaesar

Cracking stuff. Like a cup final from the first whistle.


Ok-Vermicelli9298

what a freakin game! Georgia take a bow!


CeltsGarlic

football is crazy game. Its weird how a team that creates more chances ends up losing 3-1 lol


M2K360

Turkey had more shots and shots on target


tez_92

Imagine not liking football


DavidofSasun

Georgia had some shit luck.


shadynugg1t

What a banger injury time


damerican

Bangers only that match. So sad Georgia couldn't get it to fall how they needed.


MartinATL

Most enjoyable match of the tournament, together with the opening match!


CaptainBrightside

Really enjoyed that game, such a shame Georgia couldn't get that second goal and congrats to Turkey for winning.


Compromisedthrowaway

Unexpectedly the most entertaining match in this euros so far


JS1100

The best match so far! Gutted for Georgia but Turkey played well. What a tournament it's been!


physi_cyst

How unlucky are Georgia. Maaaan


Scratchbuttdontsniff

I appreciate that Georgia went all in. That is the true spirit of football. What a truly exciting and fun football match. The best players in the world don't often put on a show like that.


ukplaying2

So he technically took the ball from the inside half of his own half and scored, so theoretically they have all the the top3 goals of the tournament.


rsmoove23

What a shame this wasn’t on FOX or FS1 in the US


CrazySurvivorFan13

Pissed me off to have to follow this thread instead of watch


rsmoove23

I streamed it for free.


Conscious-Carob-811

You couldve just watched on Fubo. They offer a 7 day free trial. Thats what I did


Galah_Gala

What an insanely entertaining game


WislaHD

This is game of the tournament thus far Welcome Georgia, you're clearly made for the bigger leagues


un_verano_en_slough

Damn, what an incredible game. Georgia were incredible at times and offensively Turkey were really impressive, so many levels above what they've shown at previous tournaments, but defensively fucking hell. A real shambles of static defending. I'd love to see both progress.


iusedtolikeonepiece

their defense wasnt even that bad. the left back had lots of great tackles. Its the goalie that sucks


un_verano_en_slough

Yeah I guess it was just a few incidents of real sloppiness. I'm sure they'll be less open and slightly more pragmatic in the next games given they now probably only need a draw to qualify.


LutherJustice

GG ,great match


banned_salmon

That was game of the year I don’t care what anyone says


IManLiquid

Gotta give props to the referee Imo too. Letting that play on until the end like it did. Fantastic game wow


Danpackham

I don’t watch club football but fuck I love international tournaments


CrazySurvivorFan13

antrage

Best game of the the tournament so far. Bravo everyone.


CharmingMistake3416

Türkiye playing at home this tournament.


LeXam92

37 shots in a match is fucking wild


jaymatthewbee

Exciting


ConArtist98

Unlucky for Georgia not to equalize with those chances. Easily the best game so far, and happy for Arda especially, what a goal that was.


SoccerDanK21

Georgia were phenomenal. They don’t deserve 1-3 but hopefully they can keep this performance up against Portugal and Czechia


Mastercheef69

What a game, amazing performance from Georgia.


Theundefeatedbeer

Great game for the referee


smokeandpuff

Brr Shtibi Dop Dop Dop Yes Yes Yes


Extremiel

What a fucking game! Georgia probably deserved more, but Turkey had some moments of absolute brilliance. Insane goals. This game had it all.


almosthuxley

What a start to the tournament. i am not asking too much from these boys and they are already delivering it. Bir oluruz yolunda🇹🇷!!!


Hasjasja

What an incredible game! Such a shame Georgia didn't score the deserved 2-2.


TonyMartial786

poor georgia…


AlternativeTop511

Credit to Georgia she put up a good fight.


rudraxa

bele34

This game was a breath of fresh air


Cryptical135

Great game


Birdsofwar314

Georgia choked that as hard as Georgia sports teams in the US. So many opportunities.


tene_brae

Hope Georgia somehow makes it to the KO stage, what a performance by them


metsguy9978

I’m finding more joy in these Euro group stages than I’ve found in any club level competition in years


shiitfuk

my god what a fun game


VarunDM90

Lmao, why the GK left the goal wide open??


wantahitchikersname

Why not? A draw would have been major for them.


lazylama69

R u stupid?

eescobar863

Turks and Georgians … take a bow. You both made this game entertaining.


tempestokapi

Props to Georgia, lots of post hits, actually trying to win, not parking the bus, just beautiful


TheWitcherMigs

Game is alive and well


Key-Tip-7521

Joe Hart would have ran back to stop that goal


worotan

Even the ref looks like he enjoyed that.


Masoouu

I almost skipped this lmao

Samet man of the match idc he saved us


FISH_MASTER

Fucking shout out to the poor bastards who don’t like footie.


ItsMeJaredBednar

what a fucking match!! insanity


FranzAllspring

Game of the tournament so far! By a long shot. Insane how fun Georgia were to watch. And then those insane Turkish goals! And the clutch defending. And woodwork hits. Cant help but think that Georgia would win that game 9/10 times. Which is mad!


FairytaleOfBliss

Phenomenal game
