I lost my money in this match. I kept my money in favor of Turkey's victory. But the match was a draw. I did not like Turkey's gameplay. Since Norway was a very weak team in this match, Turkey should have taken this opportunity to earn a full 3 points from the match. But the team is declining day by day. Their gameplay is getting worse day by day.

If the team itself is unstable, then this is what happens. They fired the coach (Şenol Güneş) a few days before the match. I understand that Turkey has been performing poorly in recent times (they were pathetic during the Euro Cup). But blaming the coach alone was a mistake. If that was the case, then why did they failed to get three points against a team that is ranked lower than them, that too when the match took place in Istanbul? I strongly feel that firing the coach was unnecessary. They could have waited until the qualifiers get over.

Some of today's games had completely different outcome than mostly expected. Netherlands won just 1:0 against Latvia. It was nervous game, Netherlands dominated, but Latvia defended very well and had good moment to score in the end.
Germany had problems against Romania after they conceded first. But Germany managed to win and almost guaranted spot in World Cup.
Czech Republic - Wales was most interesting game tonight with much action and fight between similar level opponents. Wales without Bale managed to take 1 point from this game and both teams continue to fight for 2nd place in group.

I got to watch the Latvia VS Netherlands game,the visitors play beautifully   
But the home side was too stubborn to allow further Goals at the back of there net.
Great defending tactics fr the home side,it's good to see under-dog Countries doing and giving there best.

LOL... this is like the worst possible result for Turkey. If they can't beat a team like Norway at their home, then they don't deserve a place in the world cup. I never thought that Norway had a chance, given the fact that they were without many of their key players. And Turkey scored a goal in the 6th minute, through Kerem Aktürkoğlu. But Kristian Thorstvedt made it 1-1 before the half time and Turkey failed to score another goal. Now even if they win all of their remaining three matches, I don't think that it will be possible for Turkey to qualify.

BTW, no surprises in Group H. Croatia, Russia and Slovenia all ended up with wins. And for Armenia things got a bit difficult in Group J, after they conceded a draw. North Macedonia are now tied with them for the 2nd place.

Turkey scored the first goal and then just defended even when it was 1:1 they just couldnt attack and create chances i think that Turkey to reach the world cup chances are minimal. They will need a miracle,honestly expected more from them in this match against Norway.

Just checked the next schedule and Turkey's next opponent is the team at the bottom of the table meaning they still have a chance because their opponents are not strong teams like Norway and Netherlands the difference in points between the top 3 is also not too far, only a difference of 2 points. if Turkey manage to get a win in the last 3 matches I'm sure they will qualify.

With the draw, the wales team hope of qualifying for the world cup is still possible. The Czech side is a strong team to play against especially at home, but i think the wales team could have won this game if the keeper had not lost concentration which caused the own goal(he has to do better), and if Bale played. Ramsey's performance for me was very good as well.

Turkey missed a big chance by drawing with Norway home by 1-1. This should have been one of the most comfortable games for them actually. But they still played terrible considering the most of the game. Turkey were good just between the certain minutes, nothing more than that. They should be grateful that Norway didn't even turn the game around and win. Of course, this was Stefan Kuntz's first game but they could have got a win here for real.
I saw the preview of the game and yeah they was unlucky to win there game against Norway but also lucky that Haaland hasnt played there ,
as i guess when he would be playing that Norway has won the game for sure .
For Stefan Kuntz its also a good start that he hasnt lost his first game there , and he will be making a good work there as he has done in the U21 national team in germany.
Also the Germans have played well against Romania , the just missed the first 15-20 Min and got the goal , glad they won there match.

Disappointing result for Turkey, because by failing to beat Norway made Turkey have to be in third position. Even though it's a good chance for Turkey
to beat Norway, who played without Haaland, if Haaland plays then Norway is more difficult to beat. The result is in Norway's favor, which puts them
in second place and only two points different from the Netherlands who are in first place. For Germany, this is a very good result, making Germany
even stronger to be in first place with 18 points. Although in the first half Germany had to concede one goal by Romania, but in the second half
Germany managed to make a comeback by scoring two goals. Germany deserved to win with 72% possession of the ball.

Turkey missed a big opportunity to win and get ahead of Norway in the table. Norway were feeling the absence of Haaland and Sörloth but they still somehow succeeded in drawing with Turkey by 1-1. I really don't understand Turkey. They showed a very inconsistent performance all over the match. Sometimes they were really good but the other times they were just desperate. They can't win matches unless they get rid of this inconsistency.

That was a fair result, if Norway wouldn't have too many important missing players we might watch a very different game. Norway still have to play with Netherlands so this draw is not the end of the world (cup) for Türkiye. We couldn't use Burak, wingers were below average, Hakan Çalhanoğlu didn't do much. I feel like there could be way better team to play with this squad but some player choices were very questionable. It's not up to Türkiye's performance now, they have to wait for others to make mistakes.
3 games left and its tough to see netherlands and norway sitting at 1st and 2nd with 16pts and 14pts.

and yeah its pretty interesting that the last match of the world cup qualifiers are between norway and netherlands, so yeah turkey need one of them to lost while turkey get have to get 9 points out of the last 3 matches.
tough one but they still have an open chance to get through.

This was an important match for Turkey to win but they just screwed it up. Norway weren't that good actually. It was just about how bad Turkey were. When it comes to Burak Yilmaz, I don't have much to say about him. He was just useless in this match. Like always, he was offside all the time and didn't contribute well to the team. I wish that Turkey had a much better and younger forward now. Things would have changed a lot in this situation. Because Burak is really inadequate when it comes to the national matches.

This 3-0 win over Cyprus is really what Croatia needed. Croatia is known to play really bad against weak teams but today they did good. Too bad Slovakia couldn't beat Russia or at least to get a draw. It would have made qualifying for Croatia a lot easier. But I like our odds. I know it just Cyprus, but Croatia really dominate the whole game. And we really raised out goal difference which could be a big deal in the end of the qualifications.
Croatia are really doing good three wins in the last three games and they should take the first place their only competetors are russia and despite their win today they were dominated at home against slovakia they did not deserve to win 5 shots on goal and 13 off goal for slovakia  with 70% possesion it was a poor performance from russia.

I felt Turkey deserved better from the group, they topped their group for a very long while and were consistent until the games after the Euro where they drew consecutively and lost one more, I knew even without Haaland for Norway it still won't be an easy game for Turkey, but it's football and that matters is being consistent till the end, They've still got chances to make it right, Norway faces Montenegro next while they'll have a somewhat easier fixture against Latvia, and they don't want to blow that opportunity.

Croatia played an interesting match against Cyprus and they won with Clean sheet, despite been away. After the first half ended with Croatia leading with a goal, I thought Cyprus would equalize or win in the second half, only for Croatia to score more 2 goals towards the end of the game and also dominated the game. It was a bad day for Cyprus as they could not score a goal, they however got only a shot on target through out the whole match. They have to put in more effort in their next match, they will be facing Malta in a home match.

What an unfortunate match for Turkey! They found an early goal and got 1-0 ahead. They were performing really well some time after the goal too. But Norway started to take the control of the match later and managed to equalize the score also. Norway wanted to get one point in the worst case. So in the second half, they started playing more defensively and let Turkey attack more against them. However, Turkey were so clumsy that they couldn't get ahead again and Norway got what they wanted by 1-1.
