Turkiye captain Hakan Calhanoglu says his ‘more talented’ team will ‘dominate’ Australia in World Cup

VANCOUVER: Turkiye are back in the World Cup for the first time since 2002 and, despite the long absence, captain Hakan Calhanoglu has made some bulletin-board worthy comments about his team’s first opponent. “I think we will dominate (Saturday), the game, because we have more qualities and a more talented team,” Calhanoglu said Friday of Australia, Turkiye’s opponent at BC Place. “So we will see (Saturday) what happens.” Turkiye have had their share of continental success throughout much of this century but did not qualify for the past five World Cups.
