## Resource

A Turkish state broadcaster commentator with over 30 years in sports broadcasting was pulled from the World Cup after catastrophically mixing up Iran and New Zealand during a live match — calling one team’s plays as the other’s from the start. TRT called it a “serious error,” apologized to viewers, and suspended him while investigating. The game ended in a 2-2 draw, but the real drama unfolded in the booth — a glaring reminder of how vital accuracy is in live sports commentary.
