Turkey’s World Cup struggles have reached a new low: in their first two group stage matches, Vincenzo Montella’s side fired an astonishing 62 shots on goal without managing to score a single goal. This marks an unprecedented record in World Cup history.
The inability to convert chances has proven costly for the Bosphorus team, who have now been eliminated from the 2026 World Cup before the final group game. With two defeats already on the board, even a win against the United States in the third round will not be enough to lift them from the bottom of the group.
This harsh reality underscores Turkey’s disappointing campaign on football’s biggest stage.
