Socceroos vs Mexico/Switzerland - Pre-World Cup Friendlies 2026 🇦🇺🇲🇽🇨🇭

[Bbouy]

That's a shocking miss. Use your left.

 

[JS96]

Toure Out!

Yeah Popovic is grinning he's got a reason to shaft him now. Ah well we've learned a lot so far.

 

[Pub League Champion]

Well I’m absolutely filled with confidence that Poppa has the team looking great

 

[grazorblade]

O'Niell lost his man for the goal

Hope that's Toure getting a howler out of his system

 

[booney52]

Despite the miss the pressing by Italiano I think caused the turnover and he has had a pretty good game.

 

[Quicky]

A few positives. Should have had a penalty and Mexico a red early. We wouldn't normally concede like that. Fairly tight otherwise. Mo usually scores that chance. We get a look at Leckie and know he's not a starter. Worth knowing now.

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Half time, gotta do better. Won’t be able to watch the rest until I get home unfortunately.

 

[JS96]

That's a shocking miss. Use your left.

Does he have a left boot? As soon as it came he shifted his weight for his right foot. The Mexican was covering quickly but his first time height was great to get it awag from any defender but the curve just made it spin away. Unfortunate.

when was the pen?

 

[West Adelaide Hellas]

We have some good young talent ruined by an absolutely horrible midfield.

Agreed.

Leckie is out of his depth now at this level, especially in that position. Offered literally nothing and was the worst player on the pitch by a distance.

Hopefully he isn't starting world cup matches.

Yeah exactly. Unfortunate but better now than in the tournament. Hopefully this hasn't jinxed him.

Get Boyle would've scored

Popa will come out in the post-match interview and say Leckie was the best on the pitch.

Shouldn't be anywhere near the squad let alone the team.

maybe pitch is a euphemism for beer

 

[JS96]

I'm content in that there is a system in place and the players are responding to it. The big issue is the poor midfielders. Changes to personnel will improve that.

Any questions surrounding Leckie have been answered.

Good minutes for Souttar and Herrington.

Bos clear and strong in his role. Toure starved of the ball so tighter play and once we get Irankunda and Volpato on it should look better.

 

[NoMates]

Omg such a bad miss from Tou, and I hate this long ball we are playing. So bad def getting thrashed at the World Cup!. Pathedic.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Shouldn't be anywhere near the squad let alone the team.

Agree that Leckie should be culled from the Socceroos playing list heading into the World Cup especially since he tires easily and will struggle to handle the physicality of sides like Turkey and the USA.

 

[JS96]

Ht subs
Bos-Behich
Leckie-Velupillay

No other striker but we need to get Toure off at some point.

 

[jas88]

Mo has barely touched the ball can understand why he didn't put it away.
