World Cup 2026 Australia thread

Looks like we’re gonna play Brazil in Townsville and Brisbane in September!!!

Have to decide if I'm going to keep up the trend of attending all home games. Could be a 6 day QLD visit coming up. Don't know yet if we will play any more games in that window as we can play up to 4.

I'm fairly confident of beating Egypt.

As ever, would love an early goal to settle the nerves.

There absolutely should be an air of trepidation in relation to this match, a lot of supporters are getting far too confident & that’s probably because ¾ of Egypts squad don’t play in European leagues

Even if salah is out, they have weapons that can hurt Australia. In saying that though , Egypt do have a habit of choking tournaments lol

ah yeah - it's the first window of this new calendar with these 4x matchdays.

Perhaps a friendly against an Arab/Gulf nation on the way back to Europe?

Christ talk about running your arse off.
We’re right up there.
Can only admire Argies - make the ball do the work !

You

You're the first person besides me I've ever heard say that.

I've been banging on about it forever. No-one (but me) picked it up on the night.

Sure, but VAR would have ruined our World Cup in 2006. Kewell was offside for the crucial second goal against Croatia.

Shame about Uzbekistan. They had a tough group and some bad luck along the way. Hoped to see them achieve a bit more.

Their last game showed they still have a long way to go to be genuinely competitive at this level. They disintegrated against a pretty mediocre African side. They’re simply not good enough (yet).
