How did FIFA's new rule knock Türkiye out of World Cup 2026?

Türkiye have been eliminated from FIFA World Cup 2026 despite having one group game remaining, following their 0-1 defeat to 10-man Paraguay. According to new FIFA rules, head-to-head record, not goal difference, is now the first tiebreaker. Having lost to both Australia and Paraguay, Türkiye cannot finish third even if they win their remaining match against USA.
