Australia packed 9 or 10 behind the ball, sometimes all practically inside the penalty area, against Turkiye, then hit them on long balls over the top to the very quick Championship attackers Touré from Norwich and Irankunda from Watford. Turkiye, even after Yildiz came on at halftime, couldn't create enough to find a goal. Australia blocked shots, cleared crosses with their height, and bullied dribblers off the ball.

Lost out on tickets to this game via every single FIFA and USSF lottery, and just refused to pay secondary market prices.
