Socceroos vs Paraguay 2026 World Cup match thread 🇦🇺🇵🇾

For some reason I thought Belgium were likely a few days ago. I fancied our chances as Bel underperform outside Europe.

The 5 you’ve delineated are awfully tough!

4 are proven big performers at WCs regularly.

The other, Norway, in this WC has looked very impressive.

End of the road for us. Germany are so good in big games - apart from Qatar.

According to NCB, who has done a lot of work on this, Belgium, Iran, Kiwis or Egypt are unlikely to be our opponents.

I’d love Belgium.

You are just considering finishing 3rd. That group is who we play if we finish 2nd. 2nd v 2nd.

Yes - as PJ said - those combinations I listed are for only if we finish 3rd AND qualify as one of the 8 best ranked.

Belgium I think from what I've seen is the most likely of Group G to finish in 2nd.
 
Herrington in for the first time. What a moment.

Bos or Behich on the right. Seems like a gamble. Unless it is Metcalfe on the right, Bos playing in front of Behich. Popa will always surprise with selection.
 


The Socceroos' starting XI for our last World Cup group D match has been named. Cristian Volpato makes his starting debut for the Socceroos and Lucas Herrington makes his tournament debut. Harry Souttar again leads the line as captain with Patrick Beach starting between the sticks, as he has done for the entirety of our campaign so far.
 


Paraguay have named their playing list for their last World Cup group D match against the Socceroos. Gustavo Gomez leads the line for them as captain, with Orlando Gill starting between the sticks as they are forced to go without Miguel Almiron, who is serving a suspension after receiving a straight red card last week.
