Socceroos vs Paraguay 2026 World Cup match thread 🇦🇺🇵🇾

It will probably be Egypt anyway. Belgium will likely smash NZ, while Iran's defence is good enough to get a draw against the Egyptians. I actually think it's most likely that Belgium still win their group.

Yeah that's all good, we can beat any of them. Not that we will but similar to Turkiye, we can beat any of them.

Argentina RO16 is annoying though, may be one of the teams in this tournament I can't see us upsetting in any capacity. I think France is another.

Sometimes 4-5 rotations see a massive jump in energy but also risks a sleepy confused display. I like the Chile 2017 example where we overhauled our 11 and were unrecognisable.

I reckon Herrington starts after Burgess got pulled. Unless Poppa goes with Geria. I doubt that midfield changes. The front 3 will be interesting. Is Toure fit? If not Irankunda or Yengi. Does Volpato start. Does Metcalfe. I can't pick it.

Mo Toure will likely be rotated out for Tete Yengi so we can rest him ahead of the round of 32 and Nestory Irankunda would probably start along with Cristian Volpato.

If Belgium wins, there is no way that Egypt finishes 2nd (unless I got my maths wrong writing this)

EDIT before I publish - turns out, slightly wrong.
Only way I have mathsed it as a possibility is if Egypt v Iran ends in a draw, and Belgium defeats NZ by 3+ goals.

Thread 'The annual NicCarBel TOURNAMENT PERMUTATIONS POST'

I'm gonna pop in threads as needed because more eyeballs - but it's time to begin what is (probably) my annual PERMUTATIONS POST

Given the large amount of third placed teams that can make it - I will be doing this the old way (at first) in only seeking out who needs to do what to finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their group. It won't be until the final matchdays begin looking at which 3rd places can make it altogether.

I will be adding each group slowly as I sit down and look at groups, etc etc

Group A
  • Mexico is confirmed top of the group
  • South Korea will seal...

A slight view to the future. How would Herrington go against Lukaku? That's where we'd need a big man to stalk their big man.

Anyways, a lot to do beforehand.

Lucas Herrington should be going well against Romelu Lukaku especially since he already has experience defending against world-class players like Lionel Messi and Son Heung-min in MLS.

Messi and Son aren't built like wrecking balls. It's the physical battle that matters here.
