Socceroos vs USA 2026 World Cup match thread 🇦🇺 🇺🇸

But then ask yourself the question; why start to learn the language of a country that was always going to loan you out elsewhere? He was sent to Switzerland if you can recall.

Harry Kane should learn the language of the country where you are paid $1million per week to play. Irankunda was 17 (16?) when he was transferred. He just needs to focus on his developement.

German is the most widely spoken language in Switzerland as well.

IMO he was and is young enough to pick up a new language and could have benefited on and off the pitch in endearing him to the club, players and fans.

Anyway he's not at Bayern anymore. Just hope he takes his game to the next level. How long now since we had a player in the top tier leagues?

We have players in the top tier leagues... and we will have quite a few more in the next few years.

It will be a cold day in hell before Macca's get delivered to our house.

There’s a place actually called Hell in Norway.

 

[Mr Cleansheets]

WOW! He said that?

Words to that effect.

Maybe he knew he wouldn't be there long but it does suggest that any future move he makes will be to an English speaking country.

Or Scotland.

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Or Scotland.

Nah he’s going to the EPL next. Too good for the Premiership.

I saw that - was too easy so I used Haden in Qld and my digital media modification app (Paint) to change 1 letter.

If you're feeling really nervous about the game tomorrow, just watch a replay of Socceroos win over Turkey. I was, and did, and now I'm quietly confident.

I refuse to go into this game confident.

That is how Turkey approached it.

I go in knowing they are a real danger and counting on our lads to make a bloody good fist of it on the world stage. That, I know, we can do.

 

[Mr Cleansheets]

If they offered us a 1 - 1 draw right now I'd tear their arm off to take it.

But there is reason to hope for better.

At home, how do you muffle your celebrations at 5am?

You don't!!!

Gimp suit and a ball. An apple would also suffice.

 

[JS96]

I'll have to be up at 5 for Turkey because I'll know the result at 7am based off the presence of car horns or not.

 

[JS96]

This game is and isn't a free hit. Normally we're behind in the group so this time we can hopefully avoid defeat and hope for l a favourable result in the other game. Win and it's bedlam.

Is anyone else surprised at how the mainstream media is portraying US/AUS as a some sort of grudge match as if we are long term football rivals and arch enemies. I mean it’s good for getting the non-fan involved, but to be fair we probably have more of a history against Canada.

The Socceroos can top the group should we get the job done over the United States and we can silence the journos and pundits who are writing us off so we should definitely be hoping for better than a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

The mainstream media are only portraying the Socceroos' clash with the United States as a grudge match because Mike Grella and the rest of the American pundits are writing us off and saying we have no chance of getting a result and we would like to prove them wrong.

There definitely seems to be a bit of feeling between the teams, which I expect to manifest in the game tomorrow.

We fans of course should show restraint and have only respect for those dirty mango-voting seppos...

You can’t see why they’re doing it?

“We’re playing America? Hell yeah, let’s beat the Seppos on their home turf!”
