Turkey under President Recip Tayyip Erdoğan (a nationalist dictator) changed their official English name from the “Republic of Turkey” to the “Republic of Türkiye” to match the Turkish name (Türkiye Cumhuriyeti), so in official contexts people refer to it as Türkiye (the native name). However, the common name remains Turkey.
Germany’s name is VERY different in a lot of languages, interestingly.

Yeah it’s certainly not a good democracy. Even though they almost voted him out he completely abuses his power.

Some chose it. Some had their arm twisted
Turkish govt have asked the world to respect the change in their country's name. As Tom Jones sang, it's not unusual. Burma --> Myanmar;
I like it. That's a strong team, (with a worry about the DMs)
I'm happy with Herrington. I trust Popa on choosing defenders. Takes one to know one. But if you're right about nerves, I'd play Burgess before Degenek. Especially for his clever long passes
Cammy!
The matchday XI for our World Cup opening game looks solid but personally I'd only have two centre backs in Souttar and Circati, replacing Lucas Herrington with either Cam Devlin in midfield or having Kai Trewin as a third defensive midfielder who can act as a midfield anchor or libero instead.
