Turkey Is the Unofficial World Champion in Football; Latvia Once Was Just One Goal Away

According to a publication on Apollo.lv, there is an unofficial world champion title in football, currently held by Turkey. Although the Turkish national team finished the World Cup in the group stage, this unofficial honor belongs to them. The article also mentions that Latvia's national football team was once just one goal away from a similar – unofficial – world champion status. However, the title that Latvian footballers actually achieved is not flattering at all, but no further details are disclosed. The article suggests that Latvia had some other, less pleasant title.
