Australia Stun Türkiye, Qatar's Miracle & a Brazil-Morocco Dud — Plus Today's Games

Saturday delivered the shock of the tournament — and Gary Striker and The Qooligan break it all down on Day 4 of World Cup 2026. Australia stunned a gifted Türkiye side, and The Qooligan — a referee himself, fresh off officiating his own games all weekend — makes the case that it was a masterclass in management: Tony Popovic's switch to a back five, a bold goalkeeper gamble that paid off with eight saves, and two minutes of hydration-break coaching that set up teenage, refugee-camp-born sensation Nestory Irankunda. Suddenly the USA's group looks very different. Elsewhere: Qatar grabbed their first-ever World Cup point with a last-gasp equalizer against a wasteful Switzerland, the heavyweight Brazil vs. Morocco clash fizzled into a 1-1 dud that has Ancelotti's critics circling, and a gritty Scotland sit top of their group after grinding past a genuinely impressive Haiti. Then we look ahead to a loaded Sunday: Germany vs. Curaçao in the tournament's first indoor game (with Dick Advocaat's Dutch-trained underdogs out for blood), the Netherlands vs. Japan game of the day, a potential barnstormer in Côte d'Ivoire vs. Ecuador, and the quarter-billion-dollar strike pairing of Isak and Gyökeres as Sweden face Tunisia.
