Socceroos vs Egypt - 2026 World Cup R32 - Sat 4th of July 4am AEST

[erogenouszone]

My heart sank as soon as I sae Ira up front by himself.

Also does anyone know how to cross a ball.

 

[Villa Dan]

Midfield is the issue and no proper striker up front. Set pieces and corners shocking. Need to settle to.

 

[Quicky]

Popa needs to push Irankunda wide or drop Metcalfe into a midfield three and play two upfront

That'd be smart. It also means the wing backs aren't getting in the wide forwards space and vice versa.

 

[booney52]

These slow looping corners are just so poor and make it easier for defenders.

 

[DandyCasey]

I'd rather Metcalfe play as the 9 and put Irankunda out wide.

I was thinking that as well, Metcalfe doesn't look threatening at all out wide

 

[JS96]

Popovic refuses to state what his plan even is with Irankunda up top.

 

[Taupo Boy]

It is tough when you have only 38 percent of possession, I hope you can turn this around,,

 

[Pub League Champion]

Popovic refuses to state what his plan even is with Irankunda up top.

There is no plan.

 

[highkick05]

Can we change the tempo.
Guess we just stroll around until one team is more exhausted than the other and see if we can pinch a goal

 

[Quicky]

Popovic refuses to state what his plan even is with Irankunda up top.

Better presser. Drops to receive better which I think is trying to bridge the gap with midfield. What after though? Its a problem of our formation and creation.

Should fire the set piece c9aching staff

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Didn’t floating corners go out in Under 12s?

 

[mkxx]

Metcalfe isnt a winger. Stuff up most good ball

 

[Bbouy]

The Metcalfe and Behich side is so ineffective. I'd consider putting Bos back on the left, looks a lot more freedom on that side.

 

[mkxx]

Egypt playing the ball slowly and then all of the sudden the long ball. The plan is to trap us

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Should fire the set piece c9aching staff

Agree that the Socceroos set piece coaching staff needs to be given their marching orders especially given the manner in which we managed to concede the opening goal of the match.

 

[Pub League Champion]

We’re going to go scoreless again, I can feel it

 

[Quicky]

Popa with no adjustments.

 

[McZero]

Toure for Ira

 

[DandyCasey]

Does Irankunda look gassed already?
