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

Get Degenek on for Souttar now. Best not risk him.

Harry Souttar has played enough in this friendly and we should be putting him on ice ahead of opening day.

That’s traditionally an Australian thing though, isn’t it?

To come out fighting when we're down?

 

[highkick05]

You know if u have a fast striker u feed him the ball. Just pass it to him

 

[highkick05]

Explain?

Itvwill help us in these moments. A save face if u will

 

[JS96]

I think the Swiss are content with their first half. Well, given they were leading Jordan by 3 at half time and did well today you'd think they'd want to see their late game play rather than just get to the end today and go right home.

The Swiss look lax and a bit rattled even.

To come out fighting when we're down?

Yeah, essentially. And slow starting/late results. I can’t think of many (tournament) games outside of minnows at Asian Cups where we hit early, other than France 2022 and I guess Uruguay 2005

Explain?

The Socceroos are playing the same style of football as the South American sides and it's meant to poke fun at how we're trying to emulate the Latin American tactical systems despite Poppa's system being the exact opposite to them.

Hahaha

 

[jimshady]

Hahaha brilliant Irankunda

 

[Bbouy]

Thats pretty funny from Irankunda

 

[West Adelaide Hellas]

Haha cheap shot by Irankunda

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Nestory Irankunda yellow carded in the 68th minute for the Socceroos for an argument, becoming the second Socceroos player to receive one this match.

 

[highkick05]

Metcalfe, Italiano. Probably burgess. Look like late births like mum and dad got lucky and had a kid in there 50s. They just dont have athletic physiques

 

[JS96]

Irankunda needs to cut the dumb shit out. That's a red with VAR.

 

[JM47]

Burgess gives us a good bit of direction and leadership. Whether he or Herrington start I don't think matters too much.

 

[highkick05]

Trodge around the field like trolls

 

[hogie]

Burgess distribution down the left channel is why he has to start ahead of Herrington

 

[JS96]

Geria has been great because he wants to put his name down. That's the difference today.

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Tale of two halves like the Mexico game.

Nestory Irankunda needs to keep his head level and sort out his discipline heading into the World Cup because we can't afford for him to get suspended during our campaign.
