The game everyone wants Wales to win who is either from Wales or supports Wales, except those who don’t want Wales to win, which is the vast majority of the people in the ground on Wednesday. This is the first time Turkey have played Wales in the euros, or since 1998 whichever comes first which is currently 1997 as the day of the game isn’t here yet. The real odd thing is that last year was 2020, but the year got cancelled, so even though it’s 2021 now it’s actually 2020. This should mean most people will know the result and bet their houses on it accordingly.
Wales v Turkey Weds 16th June 2021 Olympic Stadium, Baku Azerbaijan Kick off 5pm
Match Officials to be appointed.
Turkey v Wales Head to Head Wales have won three of the six meetings between the two sides, although the last victory was a 1-0 win in Ankara in 1981. The most recent fixture took place in qualifying for the 1998 World Cup, a thrilling encounter that ended 6-4 in favour of the Turks.
Turkey made their European Championship finals debut in 1996, and this will be their fifth Euro in total. The Turks qualified for Euro 2020 by finishing second in Group H behind France. They picked up four of their 23 points from the current World Champions, winning 2-0 at home and drawing 1-1 in Paris. Şenol Güneş's side has a fierce defensive record, having conceded just three goals in the entire qualifying campaign and only once in their last six games.
Key Player: Hakan Calhanoglu Hakan Calhanoglu is a German-born midfielder of Turkish ancestry (just like Mesut Ozil) except Calhanoglu has expressed his commitment to the Turkey. Calhanoglu currently plies his trade in Serie A with AC Milan, where his dangerous knuckleball free-kick has seen him compared with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Turkey facts Yeah, you knew it was coming. The cranberry sauce of the euros, the cold meat in the sandwich, piccalilli, branston and salad. These are Turkey facts, so let’s gobble them all up here.
1. Like the football team, Turkeys change colours. 2. They also have better eyesight than humans 3. Only male Turkeys gobble, which doesn’t resonate that well with me. 4. Americans eat 46 million Turkeys every November 5. This is mental, male Turkeys droppings are shaped like the letter J.
It’s also odd to note that the city of Istanbul in in two continents. Yes, the country of Turkey where Santa Claus lives has two sides to its culture. Isn’t that wonderful. However, visitors please not that the cost of kebabs are the same on both sides of town, so don’t fret.
A kebab yesterday
More Turk like revelations coming soon.
