Turkey forward Serdar Gurler admits there are “no excuses” after their shock 2-1 defeat away at the Faroe Islands in the Nations League. The hosts, ranked 83 places below the League C leaders in 125th in the world, have a population of fewer than 49,000. Gurler scored late on for Turkey after Viljormur Davidsen and Joan Simun Edmundsson put the island nation ahead. Turkish sports newspaper Fanatik reacted to the defeat saying: “There are more goats than people on that island. Size doesn’t matter.”Turkey beat the Faroe Islands 4-0 in the reverse fixture in June.
