Socceroos vs Mexico/Switzerland - Pre-World Cup Friendlies 2026 🇦🇺🇲🇽🇨🇭

Yengi has been pretty poor. No idea why he is even starting.

Tete Yengi got the starting debut because Popovic thought his height would be a valuable asset for us up front but clearly that isn't the case.

And I had images of playing in a loud packed stadium of pre tournament excitement. Very much a practice game atmosphere today.

I need to wait for the next close up - but the coat of arms on the shorts looked funny to me just before - almost as if it was yellow on yellow

Feels like a stark contrast to the Mexico games (Socceroos and Matildas). Packed to… this.

 

[JS96]

Yengi has been starved of the ball. Nothing be can do about it.

I mean… lots of Mexican migrants/diaspora. Wouldn’t say there’s much Swiss.

God fuck play it over the top. What are we practising to lose

 

[Bbouy]

I miss Bos, no outlet without him

 

[JS96]

Backs to goal in possession. It's just rubbish. Face forward. Volpato and Irankunda are fine and need better players around them.

Must Have just been the reflection of the light on the plastic - the pics on Facebook look normal

Agree that Jordan Bos should be getting the start for the Socceroos at left wingback in our group stage opener against Turkey.

Volps finally gets on the ball and there’s just no options for him

 

[highkick05]

Some really good ideas up front.
Walk walk walk around

 

[West Adelaide Hellas]

We look horrible

 

[JS96]

I think we need to play Irankunda at RWB. That way we'll be looking forward, have an option going ahead and be forced to play. If we go across and someone is standing deep then we'll conveniently pass it back

 

[Bbouy]

They're so afraid to get the ball to Volpato centrally. just pass it to him, he can handle the ball in tight spaces.

 

[jimshady]

Great tumble Yengi

 

[JS96]

2nd yellow ref! Probably the best thing by Yengi to get the foul but back to Volpato would've been interesting. Volpato taking the free.

 

[JS96]

That's a decent free by Volpato and Souttar heads wide. Something.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Three minutes of first half stoppage time.
