"It's just so much rubbish. Honestly, I'm just sick of it."
Socceroos midfielder Connor Metcalfe goes BANG on the US commentary around Australia being an "average" side.
The two meet in the second Group D fixture.

Yes, Guardiola created the most beautiful football in history with Barcelona, and tens of millions of coach devotees.
The most influential coach in history given the dissemination of his ideas, without doubt.
But increasingly, used his position to speak out for persecuted people, when too many others in football say nothing, pretend not to see.
Particularly, todayβs greatest players.
Guardiola was, and is in a unique position to influence the atrocities perpetrated and funded by the UAE, his employer, where his greatest leverage lay, nonetheless he spoke out on human rights, for an end to conflict, when others would not.
Thatβs far, far too rare in sport today.
π¨ Tommy Robinson takes the mic and gives an unhinged speech at the "Unite the Kingdom rally" and says that 66% of the murders in the US last year were committed by illegal immigrants.
This is completely fabricated. No US crime database shows illegal immigrants committing anywhere near 66% of murders.
He uses this made-up statistic to declare that the UK need "their own ICE."
@Jacob01Aus@beINSPORTS I used a vpn to watch it free through a Turkish streaming service, it was flawless.
Prefer learning turkish than watching it through bein
Ridiculous decision.
Every World Cup brings the nation together, hundreds of thousands of Aussies standing shoulder to shoulder, around the country, often through the night, even in the cold and rain to share in their passion for the @TheMatildas or @Socceroos
Kids, families, all cultures, faiths.
Itβs an important time for Aussies to feel together, watch the worldβs largest sporting event, share in the national spirit.
The vision of fans in different cities all sharing in the experience has become a hallmark of both female and male World Cups, connecting the country through β½οΈ
All stakeholders should be working to overturn this absurd decision.
Whether @FootballAUS@aleaguemen, the PFA as whole of game, along with members of @VicParliament, @cityofmelbourne
And @JacintaAllanMP should intervene.
