They were everyone's favourite dark horse. On paper, one of the most exciting young squads on the planet. Then Turkey took 62 shots at the 2026 World Cup, scored zero goals, finished bottom with zero points, and became the first team eliminated — the most shots without a goal at a World Cup since 1966.

But Turkey were just the start. This is the story of the biggest shocks of the 2026 World Cup group stage: the giants who humiliated themselves — Senegal dismantled by a finally-arrived Erling Haaland, Qatar crashing out four years after HOSTING, proud nations buried by a new rule nobody understood — and on the other side, the smallest countries on earth writing fairy tales. A debutant archipelago of 525,000 people into the last 32. The smallest nation in World Cup history taking on the giants. The most chaotic group stage in living memory — where reputation bought absolutely nothing.
