World Cup 2026 Australia thread

[rebelliousfeminist974]

West Germany’s records were transferred to Germany itself. The bigger nation always gets to take the record (e.g. Russia also has records from the Soviet Union even though Ukraine are a stronger team).

Even still Tony Popovic and whoever is named captain for the World Cup final on July 19th will be lifting the trophy in front of the Socceroos faithful at the conclusion of match 104.

Mike Grella will no doubt be eating his words with a slice of humble pie on the side after the Socceroos' win over Turkey and more so when we end up topping the group.

Let that be a lesson to the Americans to not underestimate Popaball and never write the Socceroos off or even the Matildas for that matter.

Great start to the tournament for the Asian confederation against strong European opposition. Not just Australia beating Turkiye and South Korea beating Czechia but Qatar drawing with Switzerland and Japan drawing with Holland too! Pretty impressive.

Euros should NEVER doubt Asian football! In fact, they should pay attention to it, and that doesn’t mean casual Saudi content or the odd India glaze for engagement! Football nerds should start following our leagues, our national teams, our tournaments and our players!

This was just the appetiser. Time to devour the main course at 5:00am this Saturday.

there is no doubt we are going to give them a run for Infantino's buck - they are going to be very wary of us compared to Paraguay.
Our friendly loss back in Oct of 2-1 - our line up is way diff and better.
We have the pace combo better now, Souttar was missing.
I'm hoping Volpato gets the chance - heck he may just start him up, adds another ball player and good on the ball.
Poch is going over the vids like mad.
He's going to instruct high hard press no doubt like the squeezed Paraquay for it worked that time.
Do that at his own peril, we break out they will see fire.

1956 Melbourne Olympics Gold Medal and 1960 Euro was mostly Russian squad.

80s era more Ukrainians.

Can you fuck off and stop fishing for reactions.

You're just as bad as that dropkick Lupi.
