It would be good to see Mo Toure score a hat-trick on World Cup debut and immediately announce himself to the world but at the same time we can't think too much about the permutations for the Socceroos especially on opening day of our campaign.

If Volpato ever wants to be excepted for his past comments then he has to score a goal, most so the winning goal. Otherwise end him back to Italy!
Also have you guys seen the Twitter and Facebook post saying we are getting flogged and it will be Gallipoli 2.0.
The last one made me laugh but yeah the odds are well and truly against us.

Well the formula to will be to draw as many fouls as we can and then have set piece place for headers and potential Turkish panic where they pull us down in the box.3K views · 22 reactions | "I think THIS is the strongest part of Australia and maybe the weakest part of Turkiye." 👀 Turkish journalist and broadcaster Özgür Buzbaş highlighted the key areas where the 🇦🇺 Socceroos could trouble 🇹🇷 Türkiye. 🏆 #FI

Hope the transfer talk surrounding Herrington doesn't affect his game tomorrow.

souttars set piece threat hasn't been amazing since coming back from injury
we should use him as a decoy or for flick ons and rely on jacko and herrington while souttar is getting his timing back

yeah Junior football they love it and I always make sure I watch the oldest U17s games.
He's a good little CDM/DM midfielder, ball winner, passer (great little corner kick , has put a couple in the net).
Has a decent shot and loves to dribble around players on the wing and score. Hatrick a few games back.
Mainly he does the midfield duties and has become quite good with his positioning and reading of play.
Where we live though I doubt he'd ever get noticed by city clubs in Perth. Maybe if he goes to Uni down there and plays.
Goes to Country week every year. Not too shabby. The striker in the team is like WAs best runner for his age , came 4th nationally in 400m I think. So most his passes are aimed for this kid lol you see him run down the wing flat out and go fmd am I watching Olympics or football. Dude scored 80 something goals in one U15 season in Gero here and they won their div. Kids a freak

Been in Vancouver since Tuesday, am pumped for the game. Have seen a lot of Socceroos supporters around over the past few days, but have only started seeing a few Turks this morning (it’s 11 am Saturday here now). Hopefully we greatly outnumber them at the stadium and overwhelm them with noise!!!

I've seen some tweets that more Australians are around but I'm sure Turkey will have massive numbers turning up. Hearing 10k Australian fans at game so I really hope we do get the noise going.
