This type of performance from Okon is going to make him a Socceroos starter from now onwards I imagine.

I get that Turkiye is the favourite, but this tactic of sitting back is only going to invite unnecessary pressure and trouble

Italiano and Metcalf needed to lock in earlier. Completely wasted decent opportunities early on . Definitely could have made it harder...

We're doing well but I think our counter-attack has been very wasteful, the amount of times the players have space and just boot it out...

Lets fucking gooooo!

Yeah I may come into this thread during the breaks, I find that I miss half the game because I'm typing in this forum lmao

I'm a bit nervous now!

Interesting, it's the most confidence I've had for a Roos team. We've lost every opening game since 2006.

Not a single one of us predicted Ryan and Irvine to be benched insane. It means the whole starting lineup besides Souttar are making...

I don't mind the Okon inclusion but I'd prefer him partnered with Irvine preferably. Beach scares me though, I think Ryan and Izzo are...

I was kind of backing Irvine to be super aggressive against the Turkish midfield but this throws a spanner in that plan, it's definitely...

So random... wtf? Popa's rhetoric for the past 2 months has been about the importance of our experienced heads and he drops Irvine and...

No Irvine and no Ryan?

I think nearly every game has shown that the weaker team can draw/win. Every world cup the football hierarchy lessens and lessens.
