Socceroos vs Turkey 2026 World Cup match thread 🇦🇺🇹🇷

[grazorblade]

That is a fantastic squad that they have. Their main opposition is their own media and internal pressure, I used to binge watch their 3 24/7 football talk channels when I was over there.

Arrived in USA earlier last week. A surprising amount of our and Melbourne Victory/City jerseys in Los Angeles alone.

are the victory fans still insisting Langerak should be chosen over ryan?

The 2014 squad still had players like Cahill, Bresciano and Jedinak in it although I agree it competes for the weakest. This squad has a bit more potential than recent squads and hopefully none of these youngsters with potential have reached their peak yet.

These threads make me check what I thought I knew.
Bres was past his best and had been in the middle east since 2012. Cahill was the talisman but had moved to the MLS in 2012 (much weaker league back then) and moved to China after the world cup. Both 34. I don't know if they start?
Jedinak obvious walk up starter.
2014 Leckie and Milligan probably start.



Quite remarkable. 2014 the transition felt forced. These kids have just taken the spots .

Kenan Yildiz might not be right for Turkey when their World Cup campaign gets underway against the Socceroos but their squad still looks solid regardless and they seem quite dangerous especially in midfield and in the forward line.
