Socceroos vs USA 2026 World Cup match thread 🇦🇺 🇺🇸

[NicCarBel]

Thought we had played New Zealand more times than any other country!?

correct - this is the record against every nation we have played more than 10 times

 

[kiro kompiro]

Just watched the Poch interview and already the media is labeling us as a physical side and referencing the referees. You can bet we now end up on the wrong side of some referee calls.

After we lose tomorrow morning Im asking the admin to lock and ban this thread just to save the salt. To much salt is no good for you and you will be thanking me health wise.

Nine draws with Israel?

 

[Villa Dan]

Gez it's like we're playing Argentina or France or something it's the USA and they don't fear me at all. Team effort including subs and take our chances and settle the first 20 minutes and frustrate them we got this. Pressure on them as host nation and not many many picking us.

I will promise to be good and post positive chat until the next game against Paraguay. A win or a draw everyone is safe. A loss and Im out for blood!!. No one will be safe.

Ive got a feeling the Ref will do us in, If he cost us the game then the salts on me.

The standard of refereeing has been inconsistent throughout this World Cup cycle though.

Why such a crap record Vs South Africa??

Anyway, I'm not at all confident. I've tipped us in the Shouts, but I think more like a two goal loss coming.

Go have a coffee.
And whats this no mates shit. You got plenty friends here

 

[Mr Cleansheets]

I feel like there'll be only a goal in it, but I do fear some home town decisions.

Red card and/or penalty?

I could have sworn it was RSA or maybe it was our worst loss rate?

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Weird that we’ve played Oman and Kuwait more than Iran.

Agree, I really think VAR and/or the Ref will do us over. It will be like 2006 Itay game revisited.

Will be a tough game. Need faster and more accurate transition for poppaball. When we did it last time irankundu scored, but we were to inconsistent and not accurate enough. Wonder if volpato could be that. Likewise need better dead ball. We won't get many chances so things like corners really need to be made to count. Also need to slow the game. Think the USA are a confidence team and once they get their steam up are going to be hard to contain. I'm afraid the ref could play too big a role, wouldn't be surprised if we inadvertently foul their faster players and go down a player. Likewise if we score they'll get desperate and start fouling as they'll have home crowd pressure. It's going to be a hard tough game. Nervous AF
