Ange Postecoglou before kick off: “Australians are built on doing what others think they can’t, and that will be the challenge tonight.
“Australians, particularly as footballers, won’t bow down to anyone.”
Challenge met.

Love the bravado of Irankunda.
Carrying the green & gold legacy! 🇦🇺✨

Australia will be a trickier opponent for the USMNT than a lot of Americans may have been thinking. You don’t want Ream isolated against Irankunda’s pace. And that Aussie five man bunker defense will take some breaking down.

My dad moved to Aus in the 80s.
This country gave my family everything including his ability to go to multiple World Cups.
He FaceTimed me on his way out of BC Place Stadium crying.
That’s what it means

Even with no NRL Thursday Night Football this weekend.

The Ashley Klein situation gets worse
Most of his gambling losses occurred *after* the NRL became aware he had a gambling problem.
So they knew he was an addict, let him keep gambling and racking up losses that exposed him to blackmail or manipulation.
Incredible scenes

In @ESPNAusNZ & @ESPNFC;
Informed that he would be the surprise starter in Australia's World Cup 2-0 win over Türkiye "a couple of days ago", Patrick Beach has paid tribute to the Socceroos goalkeeping union in preparing him for the world stage.

Nestory Irankunda was born in a Tanzanian refugee camp to Burundian parents.
At 20 years old, he just became the youngest player to score for Australia at a FIFA World Cup! 🔥

Australia v Türkiye is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where both countries deliberately turned away from their famous coastal cities and made a quieter inland city the capital.
Australia chose Canberra. Türkiye chose Ankara.
Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.
