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

[Bbouy]

Souttar has Ochoa level world cup aura.

Every four years, he is just built different.

 

[Beretta]

Patrick Beach making eight saves for the Socceroos in addition to keeping the clean sheet today.

He will be man of the match and rightfully so, but big Harry Soutter was immence.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

All-time performance from Souttar, Circati and Burgess.

More of the same from them next week please but we have to lock in from the get go especially since Malik Tillman, Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun will be posing more of a threat to the Socceroos.

 

[TJMitchell]

WOW! What a bloody result and what a performance by the boys

 

[erogenouszone]

That's one of the best defensive efforts I've ever seen.

Popa: You have posession. We have goals.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Do they do interviews after the match? I usually switch off by now?

It's normally just post-match reaction which Tony Popovic and Nestory Irankunda were doing but all the interviews would be during the press conference.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Popa: You have posession. We have goals.

A-League Men is greater than Super Lig and we have the three points and that's all that matters.

 

[Richie]

Patrick Beach pulled off three screamers with cat like reflexes.

 

[erogenouszone]

I like Milli.

 

[Encomium]

Enjoy the win, I might have a few beers myself.

 

[highkick05]

I might have a few coffees after that game.

Everyone lifted and played today! I'm so glad and grateful for that. Just brilliant boys!

A few notes that'll go deeper.

Beach playing like that removes any doubts. Bloody epic. English mate here said if it's shot at you then that's the opponent's problem.. Good saves also. Great long free kicks.

Finally our mids went forward smartly. I guess the fact this game wasn't a friendly we saw O'Neill release his workhorse. Epic!

Brilliant sub timing by Popovic. The fact we had the old smarts on so late was perfect.

Yengi is Kennedy 2.0.

Metcalfe delivered and that goal is just special.

 

[HonestSpursFan]

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE! THAT WE SHOULD ALL BE PROUD OF!!!!!!!

UP THE FUCKING SOCCEROOS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[melbcityguy]

Well done to everyone supporting the lads

 

[NoMates]

So all we need is a draw in our next 2 games to get through to the next round right?

 

[Bbouy]

Man, that Irankunda goal was special!

You can see him take off before Okon even receives the ball and by the time he launches it Irankunda is well in-front. The run, the touch, the finish, the celebration, the talent and the moment. Insane!

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

So all we need is a draw in our next 2 games to get through to the next round right?

We want at least one more win so the Socceroos top the group but those three points today are crucial in our hopes of making the knockout stage.

 

[JS96]

Both goals from open play. What is even happening? Is this real?
