I’m delighted Volpato is starting, he had a good cameo against the United States. Good technical player, who is great in tight spaces and can set irakunda on the run @Socceroos#FifaWorldCup#parvaus
Player in focus: Patrick Beach made 8 saves against Türkiye, the most ever by a #Socceroos goalkeeper at the #FIFAWorldCup. 🔎🏖️🧤
It is also the most by a goalkeeper on their World Cup debut since Rustu Recber (9) vs Brazil in 2002.
Great to see Australian Socceroos coach Tony Popovic acknowledging God in his sign of the cross at yesterday’s World Cup game. The sporting field can be an important place to bear witness to Jesus Christ https://t.co/bnrfZlO99b
Australians got to watch their team earn a historic win during the middle of the day on a Sunday, all together, bars and fanzones packed out, how it should be
But no, it should’ve been in the middle of the night for them so that Europeans could watch on tv with little interest
@tobyasky Bro, it’s crazy. Been watching Chelsea matches for years now at odd time and you can imagine them playing rubbish and you being awake for it. And still have to go to work without sleep
Harry Souttar captained Australia to a 2-0 win over Türkiye. Funnily enough, he was found by chance. Stoke teammate Adam Federici, in conversation, found out his mum was born in Port Hedland, WA, and put the Socceroos onto him.
One of the best value pickups Australia has made.
Socceroos World Cup opener falling at 2:00 PM on a Sunday. These World Cup time slots feel like a little treat for all the years of waking up to watch football at stupid hours in the morning.
