Socceroos vs Cameroon/ Curaçao March 2026 🇦🇺🇨🇲🇨🇼

[mkxx]

Here we go again Metcalfe & O’Neil combo at midfield. It should be Robertson for Metcalfe spot. No wonder we got outrun in midfield in every damn game.

ok anyone got self talk to pick out some positives after that abomination of an xi?

- herrington starts
- miles in metcalfs legs
- maybe hrustics return to club form for the first time in 4 years translates
- behich farewell
- second look at juric
- mabil showed some nice signs

For Kai? Not very ffs.

Agree that right wingback is not suitable for Kai Trewin given that his primary positions are centre back, centre defensive mid or centre midfielder and he has little experience in that position which may prove detrimental for us.

- behich farewell

Aziz Behich hasn't said anything about retiring from international football yet though so we may still see him play for the Socceroos later in the year on home soil ahead of the Asian Cup.

true, but expecting this to be the last time i see him on home soil ,could be wrong

Popa aiming to concede possession?Would much prefer Hrustic at DM, Metcalfe at RW or RWB, Trewin at DM or at CB.

we work better as underdogs and we have to really be creative with our starting xi to achieve underdog status against Carucao

What an uninspired line-up. If this is a taste if what is to come in the WC, God help us. Rowles, Behich, O'Neill, Hrustic and Mabil. Bloody hell. If Robbo doesn't see game time tonight, he'll probably walk and who could blame him.

Losers in active booing behich

Popovic defended Metcalfe and he's right to say he's a very skilled player but he lacks minutes and has his role changed regularly.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Socceroos in the new away strip for the first time, with Curacao in their all white kits.

 

[NoMates]

Damn that crowd is dire!

No one gives a fuck about friendly matches in Australia.

Change the national anthem to something by Cold Chisel.

I feel like they used to

To be fair Connor Metcalfe has had problems with injuries throughout this season also which has meant that he hasn't been able to get as much game time as we would have liked.

 

[Quicky]

I'm disgusted Robertson isn't starting.

 

[erogenouszone]

Socceroos in the new away strip for the first time.

It looks like one of those 90's hypercolour tshirts.

 

[grazorblade]

I'm disgusted Robertson isn't starting.

His body language didn't look great on the sidelines during the anthem.....reminds me of triantis body language

Refereeing team for the Socceroos' game against Curacao is all-English, as was the case for the match against Cameroon.
