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

But this is the odd word.

Can’t think of a word for Turks that begins with P.

Beach's reflexes are catlike.

Reminds me a bit of Gordon banks and Ochoa, lanky and springy with super fast reflexes. Surely he doesnt stay in the A League much longer.

Turkey played 8 games to qualify, with 4 games against Georgia and Bulgaria.

Aus played 18-20 WCQs.

This is what I hate most about the 48 team world cup.

Personally - with the exception of South America, and perhaps Oceania - every confederation should have their final round be X groups (X being how many direct slots they receive, or 1/2 of the direct slots they receive) and the winners of each group qualify (Top 2 when the groups are 1/2 of the direct slots)

If I'm the US I wouldn't be overly worried about us but as an Australian fan I do have quiet confidence we can get something from that game. It'll have to be another underdog performance. I hope we are less wasteful in the final third and more attacking cohesion between our run and gunners.

This is the exact correct mentality from a US fan, recognise that you aren't going to smash us, don't be worried but we can beat you if we show up.
