If some of the lesser on paper matches are anything to go by, this should be a cracker.

Both teams need a win which might make it a decent game to watch.

I move back to the Czech Republic permanently in a fortnight so it would be great if they qualify and are still in the tournament.

Bit off topic but why is Turkey spelt Türkiye but all the other teams have the English spelling?

That’s how they are now known internationally

Bizarre isn't it both teams so much better than England.

That looked a penalty

 

[Don Karleone]

Good decision, I thought it was a pen as well.

I think it's a pretty simple answer, which is that they've specifically asked to be called by that name. They re-registered their name with the UN (and probably other bodies too).

Most countries don't have a strong enough opinion to care about how they're referred to. The Turks are reportedly not a fan of the fact their anglicised name is associated with Christmas dinner.

11 minutes in and I've already seen more passion, enthusiasm, and talent on show than in the last ten England matches.
