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

[JS96]

Italiano rounded too easily today

 

[JRD]

Trewin has to start over Italiano. He is all at sea defensively. Was skinned multiple times against Mexico, too.

 

[highkick05]

See how when their backline passes the ball we dont know where its going

 

[JS96]

Devlin with excellent coverage and communication. Also hit a lose ball first time through the chaos to Toure.

 

[HappyGuus]

Zero support around Toure since he came on

I'd put Geria there. He's defensively fine and has a good ground pass.

Headless chicken.

Nearly headless

 

[JS96]

Devlin bossing it. Nice ball by Metcalfe to Toure. Italiano go ibto the box but needed to support Toure there.

"Five Socceroos trying to get forward for Toure"

Yeah but they were all too slow. Toure alone again.

There'll be three minutes of second half stoppage time.

Yep, agreed. Devlin looks good.
Makes sense to give Irvine some cover to get about the pitch.

 

[highkick05]

Never seen a Rb just ignore his forward like that

 

[highkick05]

Toure is trying so hard

 

[JS96]

Perhaps we're lucky the opponent just stops playing at half time. We up the pressure and they can't cope either.

 

[HonestSpursFan]

AND… it’s done! Honestly I’d take a draw over Switzerland. They’re a quality side and could be a dark horse.

 

[highkick05]

Pretty good casual training run

 

[booney52]

1 -1 draw.Again better second half.Geria did well when came on.Bring on Turkiye next Sunday

 

[JS96]

OK we came through unscathed. Just need to frame kick off as the start of the second half. Result fine. First 35 woeful. Clarity with some confusion too.

 

[HonestSpursFan]

A bit wild that we lost four in a row in the US though. Not a good look going into the World Cup but to loan a political quote, the only results that count are at tournaments.
