The Gaffer on
Australia
World Cup 2026 ยท Pre-tournament verdict
The Gaffer says
โRight, the Socceroos, mate. Ceiling? Knock-out stages if they nick a result early, proper organised, work like dogs all day long. My honest worry, son: who's banging 'em in? Goals don't grow on trees, do they. Gut says they scrap, frustrate a big boy, then bow out with their heads high. Verdict: Plucky, but short on firepower.โ
The Gaffer's picks for Australia fixtures will appear here after the schedule is set.
