Smart subs by Australia. This is tense. Paraguay not too urgent but the smash and grab is there.

Omar Alderete forced off with injury in the 84th minute for Paraguay and is replaced by Jose Canale.

Two changes for the Socceroos in the 84th minute. Paul Okon-Engstler and Tete Yengi come on for Jackson Irvine and Nestory Irankunda respectively.

Reminds me of Zelic and his "individual brilliance"

Fuck. Needed better worked corners earlier. Never gave us anything

He just wasn’t good enough for the job. The A-League isn’t that good unfortunately so I want coaches to have overseas experience before coaching senior national sides, especially as permanent managers in major tournaments.

Steve Corica going to Yokohama is a big boost for his chances, should he do well over there. Kevin Muscat’s been considered for Rangers and Wolves so he’d be on the list after doing well for Shanghai. Mark Milligan needs an overseas job first. Ufuk Talay is nowhere near the job.

seriously, China league is not much a bar.
Coricaball - no thanks.
Milligan is years off.
fUck Talay.
Next ?

The takeaway for me from this game is that Popovic does not have the ability to get the best out of these players. End of story.

Bring back Ange!

I agree about the CSL though. He’s a good coach but I’d like to see him do something in a better league first.

Surely either John or Ross Aloisi would be in the running to replace Popovic as the next Socceroos head coach instead.

Again, they probably need better jobs first. John was considered for the Tillies job once IIRC.

Sadly this is the group of players he needed.

Jordy Bos!

LFC · 2026-06-26T13:53:25+1000

BOS deserves a goal - shame.

rebelliousfeminist974 · 2026-06-26T13:53:29+1000

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

highkick05 · 2026-06-26T13:53:45+1000

Wow , no where near on goal

kiro kompiro · 2026-06-26T13:53:50+1000

Jordi "Gareth Bale" Bos!
