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

[erogenouszone]

Next socceroos coach - going to be either Van Egmond or Stajic.

Emily Van Egmond to start up front.

 

[Captain Haddock]

Between Laurie Daley on Wednesday night and Poppa this morning, I've had enough of watching coaches deploy shit selections and shit tactics and losing to a beatable pack of arrogant wankers for a single month thank you very much...

 

[Bbouy]

The US deserve the win, we can't just show up for 30 minutes and expect to win.

 

[erogenouszone]

Fucking soft cock panelists not mentioning Popa once.

 

[Frankly Speaking]

I hope the press show some balls and call Popovic out for this disgrace.

Emily Van Egmond to start up front.

We need Holly McNamara to come to San Francisco also while we're at it.

 

[JS96]

I'm disappointed and embarrassed. We allowed the USA to play their game. Popovic cleared hoped to absorb pressure but the 2 goals undid that.

Had the game been level the USA would've gotten nervous.

 

[jas88]

How can you be watching volpato in training and then saying yep I'm going to pick leckie.. poppa literally on drugs.

 

[zimbos05]

We got it right against Turkiye, then we decided to go into this game and be even more scared. We showed with our selections that we didn't want to win this game. It's an absolute disasterclass from Poppa.

It should have been the opposite. After all the talk that America gave us, we should have taken the game to them.

Beach

Italiano - Circati - Souttar - Herrington - Bos

Robertson - Okon Jr

Volpato - Toure - Irankunda



Asian Cup 2027 - No more fucking around

 

[JS96]

The idiots on social media who don't realise every game has its own 90min. Australia got it right and Turkey got it wrong. We stuffed up big time today.

 

[Barca4life]

Unfortunately too little too late for Australia, better in the second half but we asked for trouble with the first half approach as the USA can hurt us.

We should ditch the back 5 and go to a back 4 as well, looked how better we looked with Volpato,Irankunda and even with Metcalfe.

Popa got this wrong today especially starting Leckie and Velupillay who should have not been in the World Cup squad to begin with let alone start today.

 

[JS96]

Grella has no claimed when we set up with a hand tied behind our back. Not to mention saying a team is better is a 50/50 punt and when you've got home advantage and decent players not exactly ground breaking.

 

[jas88]

Anyone watching on ITV? Would love to know Ange's thoughts on this.

 

[DandyCasey]

Lots of service into the box second half for Irankunda

 

[rusty83]

The A leagues-Roos truly stunk it up in the first half. One of the worst performances I’ve ever seen. We looked mildly better second half, only after the game was already gone and subbing on the Euro based players. Nishan and Leckie were breathtakingly awful.

 

[Pub League Champion]

Segecic
Younis
Bennie
Adams
Taylor

Don’t mind me, just listing wingers better than Leckie and Velupillay who aren’t in the squad.

 

[West Adelaide Hellas]

Anyway - USA deserved the win. Poch is a world class coach, they managed themselves in that second half.

The starting 11 was a monumental stuff up. Maybe he thought he could hold them off and bring the youngsters on later on but pretty piss weak game plan especially the way we played in the first game.

 

[JS96]

Definitely the most embarrassing set up since Germany 2010. We had the hope and expectation and the selections didn't work.

 

[Pub League Champion]

Lots of service into the box second half for Irankunda

If only he was 6’3
