Australia vs Egypt next Saturday morning Sydney time.

Every nation has produced a video where players pronounce their names yet most commentators and pundits decide to ignore those pronunciations and use their own. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #FIFAWorldCup2026

We played so well in the first half and so comfortable at the back. Herrington especially is so calm & composed for an 18 year old, the Bos & Volpato combination was great, but once we got to 70 mins we changed our mentality to being risk averse and not wanting to lose. Fair enough too! #Socceroos

On this performance, football is not coming home this year. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #FIFAWorldCup2026

This is undoubtedly the market correction our economy needed to have. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Curaçao + Advocaat is usually a questionable drinks cabinet combo, but not today #FIFAWorldCup2026 www.espn.com.au/football/sto...

If I was Socceroo boss for the day my starting XI vs Paraguay would be; Beach, Circati, Geria, Italiano, Bos, Okon, Metcalfe, O’Neill, Volpato, Touré, Irankunda. Souttar and Burgess dropped, yes, really. I want pace and ball players not height. #Socceroos #FIFAWorldCup2026

Turkiye are out. It’s now Australia vs Paraguay for 2nd place. A draw should be enough for Australia on goal difference but let’s not play for a draw. Let’s win the game, take the group. Simple as that. #Socceroos #FIFAWorldCup2026

Red card late in the first half for covering the mouth in a confrontation. It’s the new IFAB rule for this World Cup. Came from the Vinícius Jr/Prestianni row in February, where hiding the mouth meant the slur couldn’t be proven, if you’ve nothing to hide, don’t hide it #FIFAWorldCup2026. #TURvPAR

100% yet Popvic’s stubborn response was to say he should’ve made more changes. Ludicrous! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Has Poppa admitted his selection blunders yet ? I’m not holding my breath. #Socceroos

Volpato, Metcalfe, Irankunda and Touré have to start next game. The Leckie and Velupillay selections were a blunder by Poppa imo. Let’s go and beat Paraguay next week. #Socceroos

We have lost all the discipline we had last Sunday against Türkiye and we didn’t have the Touré / Irankunda threat. Those two worked so well together. #Socceroos

Never change a winning team. I am trying to trust Poppa but my patience with him and that decision to change the starting XI is super frustrating. #Socceroos

10 men behind the ball for long stretches and hoofing it clear towards the end but when we kept it and attacked with intent we created real chances. The defensive discipline held and that’s what mattered. Can’t wait for Saturday against the USA #FIFAWorldCup2026 #Socceroos

IRANKUNDAAAAAAAA!!! 1-0!!!!

Irankunda and Touré starting ✅ Irvine on the bench where he belongs. ✅ Souttar’s only ever there for the aerial duels, let’s be honest. Curious call putting Beach in goals. #Socceroos

What a delicious finish by Saibari. #FIFAWorldCup2026 #BRAMAR

I’m a big fan of Herrington but let’s wait until there’s actually something from Barcelona before then its a distraction and nothing else #Socceroos

USA were impressive, Paraguay were poor & that result serves as a warning for Australia. We need points on the board before we get anywhere near that match. We need a result tomorrow against Türkiye. #FIFAWorldCup2026 #Socceroos

A yellow card for simulation is great as long as all referees are consistent across the whole tournament now. #FIFAWorldCup2026 #USAvPAR

if you listen to the world football media we are still seen as a nation who will go out early. #FIFAWorldCup2026 #Socceroos

They might want to swap the Draw & Loss numbers! #FIFAWorldCup2026

Even accounting for the large wall that was a poor free kick by Mexico in an excellent position. #FIFAWorldCup2026 #MEXvRSA

Players look absolutely fine but sure, let’s stop the game for two minutes so American TV can squeeze in another ad for a truck or a beer. The 2026 World Cup: brought to you by thirst. #FIFAWorldCup2026 #MEXvRSA

Looks like the “hydration break” is what I suspected, nothing more than a TV commercial break. #FIFAWorldCup #MEXvRSA

Let’s hope he starts every match because the longer he is on the park, the more opportunities he creates. We don’t want 20 min cameos. #FIFAWorldCup #Australia #Socceroos

Young players especially, it’s a shame he doesn’t play enough of them. #Matildas.

Sigh. #AUSvMEX #Matildas

This should all be about next year’s World Cup, yet van Egmond is still in the starting XI. #AUSvMEX #Matildas

Watched a very different match to what I saw. #MEXvAUS #Socceroos

Herrington is a super reliable player. Assuming he will start in the World Cup opener. Deserves to. #MEXvAUS

Mexico aren’t much better than the #Socceroos and we aren’t good. #MEXvAUS

David Speers’ line on what Norway is doing is a fossil fuel industry talking point. Yes, they’ve expanded exploration recently (Russian invasion of Ukraine was a catalyst) Norway also knows oil & gas is a sunset industry. They are one of the world’s leading investors in renewable energy. #Insiders

Deliver what? They have vague spending cuts with no line items, coal & gas expansion with no price tag, nuclear ambitions with zero modelling. ‘Reduce immigration’ is not an economic policy. It’s a vibe #Auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Yet they have earned approximately $4.6 billion in profit in the last 3 years. Shame they continue to focus on shareholders first and passengers second. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Coalition is losing voters to One Nation so their big strategy is to out-Hanson Hanson? Social media surveillance for tourists. A mandatory “values test”. Trump’s playbook, Australian edition. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Trump announcing a Hormuz blockade like it’s 1962 and he’s JFK facing down the Soviets. Except this time you’re stopping Chinese, Indian, Pakistani & other commercial shipping. That’s not a blockade. That’s a war with everyone.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Catherine King offered nothing in her interview on #Insiders in terms of the electrification of our transport fleet including private vehicles. All she talked about was charging infrastructure, no sign of any incentives. Opportunity wasted again. #Auspol

Hours after a ceasefire was announced, Israel launched its largest ever attack on Lebanon; residential buildings a funeral and a hospital. Pakistan said Lebanon was included, even Hezbollah stopped firing. Israel didn’t. This is not a mistake. It’s a pattern. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

In Godfather II, Frank Pentangeli is about to testify in court against the Corleones when his brother walks in silently. Pentangeli recants everything. Yesterday a sitting US president attended Supreme Court oral arguments for the first time in history on case he brought. Art imitates life.

Australia’s fuel crisis response: $2.55 billion to make petrol cheaper. Not to accelerate EVs. Not public transport. Not reducing dependence on oil through a chokepoint we don’t control. Cheaper petrol. For three months. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Deliberately targeting a marked press car with four precision missiles isn’t a mistake, it’s a war crime.Israel has killed 270+ journalists in Gaza alone Has any other country killed more journalists in history? #auspol #Lebanon #warcrimes www.bbc.com/news/article...

Traveller tip: Use Booking to search, never to book. They add a commission on top of hotels’ rates, sometimes as high as 30% so going direct is almost always cheaper. Search at booking but book direct. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Labor’s EV tax discount has driven 105,000 extra EVs onto Australian roads and returns $2.25 in benefit for every dollar spent. Andrew Hastie & Angus Taylor want to axe it. That’s not fiscal responsibility, it’s ideological hostility dressed up as savings.#Insiders #EVs

I’ve not watched Adelaide play in the #ALW in a long time, any reason they aren’t playing at Hindmarsh? #ADLvNEW

The Angus Taylor plan to deal with the fuel crisis is to cut the fuel excise AND axe the EV tax exemption?? Let me get this straight, the coalition wants to defund the solution?? Absolutely galaxy-brained policy. 🤦 #auspol #EVs www.canberratimes.com.au/story/920864...
