How's the Australian Turkish community going to go with this?
All Turkish games are not on German FTA rather exclusively on Telekom (26 games exclusively) yet they all said they'll be watching Turkish channels anyway.
Apparently YouTube will be showing games too which should dent Telekoms pay TV package.
SBS still works with vpn while NOS from the Netherlands has clamped down. There'll be plenty of sources.

Testing my memory there but I reckon he was on the scene around that time.

He’s basically helped form my opinion that Turkey will top the group.
I mean one of the goals was wide open after a Neuer mistake and the other was a free-kick. At least, we aren't facing Olise.

Sounds like Güler may miss the first game even if he makes the squad after an injury 2 or 3 days ago.

Haven't heard Les's voice for ages. Much love :/
Here's hoping the spirit of Alexander the Great lives on and the Macedonians can soften up the Turks for us.

I enjoyed that World Cup (it was in our time zone), but I believe that no World Cup suffered more from players having been overtaxed in the lead up and not performing to the level we hoped for (France, Argentina, Italy).
