AUS v USA reactions: in what world do you change a winning formula? Socceroos coach must answer for his crimes - but it's still not over

In what world do you change a winning formula? Tony
Popovich…you’ve got some explaining to do (as does the ref).


But it’s not over yet... OlanTekkers breaks down what went wrong
– from Popovich benching in-form players like Irankunda and
Metcalfe, to a defensive setup that had us stuck in our own 18
yard box for 45 minutes.


We get into how the US exposed us out wide, why we looked scared
to play early and how the game completely flipped in the second
half once we actually started going forward. Irankunda comes on
and changes everything (again), but there's a lack of creativity
in midfield, and surely now Volpato starts the next game?


We’re also joined by our man on the ground in Seattle, sports
reporter John Bric, who gives us the vibe inside Lumen Field, the
mood of Socceroos fans and what this result means for Australia’s
chances of qualifying from the group.


Plus, Ronaldo vs Messi is kicking off again. Portugal players are
starting to turn on their main man, Thierry Henry breaks down
Ronaldo’s role, while Messi’s just out there doing GOAT things. A
hat-trick at 38 in a World Cup - who does that? Big calls, big
pressure on the Socceroos, and two GOATs going in very different
directions… all in one episode.
