A man of the match performance for an Aussie in the States 🇺🇸🇦🇺 It was a performance to remember for Australian midfielder Zach Duncan as he scored and got an assist for his @loucityfc side in the @USLChampionship 🟣⚪️ The 26-year-old played 83 minutes for Louisville City FC in their 2-0 away win over Phoenix Rising to strengthen their position on the Eastern Conference ladder. Louisville City sit in second position and Duncan has played a vital role for the club having played 12 from 13 league matches. In three days, Duncan and Louisville City FC take on Brooklyn at home with a chance to chase down league leaders Tampa Bay.

"I believe we have the potential to cause a surprise and go far" 🇦🇺🗣️ Australia international Deni Juric spoke to Polish football media outlet @WeszloCom to talk about his time in Poland for @WislaPlockSA as well as his expectations for the Socceroos ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup: 👇 🇵🇱: "The quality of the [Ekstraklasa] is higher than many people abroad might imagine," he said. "I was pleasantly surprised by the stadiums, infrastructure, pitches, and overall level of organisation. This really made a very good impression. "Initially, I considered several different options (...) the key was the conversation with the sporting director and coach. They presented me with a very specific vision. They explained how they wanted to play and what role they envisioned for me. It was also important that the team played with a two-striker system, this model suits me very well." 🇦🇺: "My debut for the national team was a dream come true for my father. Even before my brother played for Australia, he kept saying he believed we would both play for the national team one day. I'm proud that it happened. "Everyone has welcomed me very well. Australia is a multicultural country, and this is clearly visible in the national team. We have players with diverse backgrounds, but we form a very close-knit group. "The United States is the host nation, so they'll definitely be able to count on their fans' support. However, I don't think it'll be the deciding factor. Turkiye, on the other hand, is a team with a great temperament (...) playing against them always brings a lot of emotion. "Paraguay, on the other hand, represent a typically South American style. They're a very aggressive, combative team that doesn't back down from any challenge. My teammates have told me that matches against South American teams are completely different from those against teams from other continents. "During the last training camp, I didn't expect the quality of training to be so high. The level of international football is exceptional. The pace and intensity of the game are even higher than in club competition." 📸: Wisła Płock

"It's a good test for us, one week before we start" 🇨🇭🗣️ Switzerland men's national team manager Murat Yakin spoke to the media ahead of their clash against the Socceroos: 👇 "I want to see from my players that we have the quality," he said. "It's a new test, a new opponent and that's why we're happy to play here in San Diego. [Against Mexico], the game was very open and now we have to be ready tactically and also physically. "All the players are fit. I have the option of making eleven changes, but it's not like we're going to make countless changes at half-time (...) Against Qatar, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Canada we have different systems (...) We can test again against Australia to make sure we're ready for the start of the World Cup. A lot can change depending on the match situation."
