World Cup 1/8 Final
Türkiye - España 1:6
Stadion: Gazi Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK
pitch width 64
pitch height 95
I am honestly speechless after witnessing what just happened in this match. I was expecting a close, dramatic battle, maybe even extra time and penalties but instead, we got a true shocker. Türkiye, one of the most passionate and dedicated football nations in the Sokker world, was crushed 1:6 by Spain. There are no excuses here this was not a matter of game engine randomness. It was pure domination from Spain, and full credit must go to their coach Payas and his perfectly prepared team.
Tactical Overview
Türkiye Coach: LowPing
Formation: 5–3–2
Türkiye started cautiously, focusing on a compact defense and midfield control. The idea was to neutralize Spain’s attacks through the center. However, the plan backfired badly the Turkish defense couldn’t cope with the Spanish tempo and creativity.
España Coach: Payas
This setup surprised everyone. Payas went all-in with three forwards Oriol de la Sagra , Mauricio Pesquera , Javi Suárez Betancort , and later substitute Lucas Notario Caro . That attacking trio (and later quartet) was simply unstoppable. They pressed high, combined beautifully, and created chaos in the Turkish backline from the first minute.
A tactical switch at halftime attempting wing play also failed to change the course of the game.
Key Match Moments
*17’ – Suárez Betancort opens the scoring.
*25’ – de la Sagra doubles the lead with a clinical strike.
*37’ – de la Sagra again! Spain 3 : 0 before halftime.
*63’ – Türkiye pulls one back Baklavacı , 1 : 3. Hope? Not for long.
*72’, 85’, 88’ – Notario Caro and de la Sagra finish the job, turning it into a historic 1 : 6 win.
Spain dominated possession in the second half (60%), showed tactical discipline, and punished every Turkish mistake.
Player of the Match:
Oriol de la Sagra Spain
Weakest Link Türkiye
İdil Oltacı -Türkiye
Nervous, slow in transitions, caused unnecessary fouls and received an early yellow. He struggled to keep up with Spain’s pace and broke the defensive rhythm several times.
Before the match, these two teams looked evenly matched. Many expected a tactical chess battle, maybe even penalties. But what we got was a stunning and unexpected blowout. Türkiye’s game plan simply collapsed under Spain’s aggressive pressing and attacking power.
Congratulations to Spain and coach Payas this was a tactical masterclass and a statement performance. After such a dominant display, Spain must now be seen as one of the main favorites to win the World Cup.
Respect to both teams but what a performance from La Furia Roja!

World Cup 1/8 Final
Ireland - Česká republika 0:5
Stadion: Kyoku Balompié Arena
pitch width 64
pitch height 110
Ireland - Czech Republic / World Cup Round of 16 Match
Before the match, there was really only one clear favorite the Czech Republic.
Still, some fans hoped for a surprise from Ireland, who had already made history by qualifying for the World Cup under their Polish coach Antoś. For the Irish community, reaching the knockout stage was already a magical achievement, and every minute on the pitch was a moment of pride.
Ireland - Česká republika 0:5
From the start, the Czech team showed why they were considered favorites. After a few early Irish chances including a powerful strike by McEneaney that hit the crossbar the Czech machine began to roll. Drahorád took control of the game, scoring a hat-trick and leading his team to a confident 5–0 victory. Despite Ireland’s fighting spirit and 62% ball possession in the second half, they couldn’t find a way past the Czech defense and goalkeeper Beňa.
The Czech coach ufhcs, from Hungary, deserves full credit for preparing his team so well. His tactics, pressing, and use of substitutes worked perfectly, giving the Czech Republic total control of the game.
On the other side, Antoś can hold his head high – his Irish squad, without big stars, played with heart, unity, and pride. Their World Cup journey will be remembered as one of the most inspiring stories of this tournament.
Man of the Match: Viktor Drahorád a true leader, scoring three goals and creating chaos in the Irish defense.
Weakest Player: Alan Norman the Irish goalkeeper had a difficult day, with several costly errors that the Czech attackers punished ruthlessly.
Congratulations to Ireland for their historic run your passion, teamwork, and determination have won the hearts of many Sokker fans around the world
The Czech Republic now moves on to face Romania in what promises to be a thrilling clash. This will be the real test for coach ufhcs and his men a match of matches!

Its not possession in the half on match report, but how much the ball is on ones half
Important
I have talked with Raul about the fact that they plan to introduce another competition into the game (International Cup) which will be the 4th club game weekly / 5th including NT.
Therefore they are again open to the idea to cancel the injuries (and training) from all National Team games, therefore I have open the topic to see whether people prefer current situation, or "no injuries in NT" solution.

Problem is not injuries in NT games but ratio of injuries and fact is more difficult to build NT players in first place ...
It's so difficult to talk to the button guy, nobody can, but you managed it. Congratulations!
He doesn't respond to anyone, only to his friends. It's lucky to have you here to solve this problem. I even took a screenshot of your message to keep as a souvenir. May the injuries in NTs games end!

Injuries in NT is a BIG problem. People regularly hide skills of top players, both for u21 and main NT.
At last World Cup I had TEN top level NT players with hidden skills and their owners ignoring my messages about skills.

the injuries are not main reason to hide skills there will be still people that will hid skills just because you or me is the NT ....
From my experience it's 99% of the time about injuries...
and even many people that show players often do that only after agreeing with NT coach that the player will only be used in 1-2 most important games, not every week...

I think that some people just don't like to someone peek in their team. Beside those who are afraid of injuries of course, they are majority.
Some yes, maybe.
From my experience there are 2 types
a. won't even answer the message / answers that he doesn't want the player in NT because of injury risk
b. doesn't want the player to play every games because of injury risk, agrees to show skills under certain conditions (plays only when he has to against strongest opponnent etc.)

World Cup 1/8 Final – England 2:1 Italy – The Italian Job by Triglio
What a story, folks. What. A. Story.
Before the match, Italy led by the experienced coach Pavoniana were seen as the clear favorites. A team with 3043 ranking points, an average rating of 82.6, and a golden World Cup pedigree (2x Gold, 2x Silver, 1x Bronze). Meanwhile, England coached by an Italian himself, Triglio entered the game as massive underdogs (2638 points, average rating 78.3).
And yet, football once again proved why we love it: because numbers can’t measure heart.
An Italian coach… leading England to knock out Italy. You couldn’t script it better. One nation celebrates, another mourns and the plot twist is pure Sokker poetry.
Pre-Match: The Giants and the Dreamers
Italy’s Road to the World Cup looked like a demonstration tour:
23–0 vs Ghana, 7–0 vs Malta, 6–0 vs Australia they crushed everything in their path. They breezed through Group G with 3 wins (vs Russia, Bosnia, Sweden). Pure domination.
England’s Journey? Quite the opposite. A rocky start a 0:4 defeat against Poland in Group D made many doubt their chances. But then came the turnaround:
2–0 vs Israel, 3–0 vs the Netherlands. Step by step, Triglio’s men started to click. And when knockout time came, they looked confident, organized, and hungry.
The Match: Passion vs Power
Let’s dive into the drama. Both teams lined up in a 5-3-2 formation, but with different philosophies.
England attacked down the wings fast, wide, unpredictable.
Italy built their play through the middle patient, structured, confident.
But early on, England shocked everyone.
7th minute:
Ramsdale breaks through, shoots — GOOOOOAAAL! England 1–0!
Fumagalli, the Italian keeper, beaten. The English bench explodes.
27th minute:
Gazza floats a perfect cross, Hatton rises above everyone, header GOAL! 2–0 England!
The Italian defense looked stunned, Pavoniana speechless.
66th minute: Italy finally responded. Dore’s effort hits the post GOAL! 2–1.
The Italians fought hard till the end, but couldn’t find the equalizer.
The final whistle came like thunder: England 2, Italy 1. Shock, disbelief, celebration.
Shots: 9–5 for England.
Triglio’s tactics were spot on: brave, attacking, and full of energy.
Man of the Match:
Matt Gazza ENGLAND
He didn’t score, but he dictated the rhythm. Two assists, endless energy, and complete control of the midfield. Gazza’s creativity was the spark that set England’s wings on fire. Without him, those goals don’t happen. A true leader on the pitch.
Honorable mention: Ramsdale, for his goal and constant threat in attack.
Key Match Stats
Tactical Masterclass by Triglio
Triglio knew exactly what to do he neutralized Italy’s strong midfield with pressing and used the wings to perfection. The irony? It took an Italian coach to show how to beat Italy.
His substitution timing was spot on, and the team showed mental strength after the early group loss to Poland.
What’s Next for England?
This England side has momentum. They’ve already beaten one of the tournament’s top favorites. The chemistry is growing, the defense looks solid, and the attack is clinical.
Can they go for a medal? Absolutely.
With Triglio at the helm, nothing seems impossible anymore. England’s bronze-medal coach might be writing a golden sequel this time.
To the Fans of Italy
Sometimes football is cruel. Italy looked unstoppable, yet one inspired night ended their dream. Hold your heads high — your team remains one of the world’s best.
And perhaps, just perhaps… next time destiny will smile again on the Azzurri.
This match will go down as one of the great World Cup upsets in Sokker history
England’s resilience, Gazza’s brilliance, Ramsdale’s determination, and Triglio’s tactical genius combined to create magic.
England march on.
Italy go home.
And the Sokker world just witnessed a masterpiece.
