I don't think USA are the better defensive Team and don't think they are the better overall team , I wouldn't be surprised if Australia cause another upset

@granthoustonadventuresAttention all Aussie watch the Socceroos beat America on their home soil watch at 5am the Australian team will win they go into the match full of confidence go boys do us proud Aussie Aussie oi oi oi
@BradleyB-c7uOne thing I know about Australia. They will give 100% and give any team run for their money. Go Aussie!!!
@accountsmixedink869Exciting For This Match.
@MohammedKamrulHassan-v6wMauricio Pochettino doesn't move his hands when he's talking - he's pretending not to be Italian. Equally falsely, USMNT is pretending to be a European team. Only Australia knows who they are - a team which barely lost to Argentina in 2022. And 2026 Australia is much stronger than 2022 Australia: better forwards, better defence and a better coach. Is USAMNT better than Argentina? Nope! One more thing in Australia's favour is American hubris - a national characteristic. Contrast that with the Australian mentality: "we can beat anybody".
@andrewj41905:38 they can't even spell Australia correctly! How much disrespect!!!
@sanidad27The prices are insane. The games are amazing.
@pietiebeyers5237Close call with slight edge for 'Straya.
@MustardSkavenUSA losing due to Australia counter attacks. Probs 2-0.
@archivey-h8e"What have Australia won? Nothing!" - From the arrogant, rude words of bastard Mike Grella. Asian Cup 2015 not good enough for ya? Wow you americans be winning against the dominican republic and nicaragua in your crappy championships. Let's go Aussies 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@BluePumaGDCome on aussie!
@knav66804 shots on goal. 2 goals. 50% conversion rate. That is clinical
@SecretAdmirer1080An arrogant yank? Never
@Andrew-wv6fyForget that Turkey had 30 shots on goal..... only 9 were actually on target. Bit of context would help. US won't be getting that many chances lol
@marksita76Go Socceroos 1-0 to Australia!
@emacro65all my historical comments were wrong except Australia has solid culture for a football that isn't ours
@aarowbach8711Great show! Nice to see Buckets and GL to everyone who is looking for action!
@t.n.crumpets45514 shots 2 goals, they are not clinical. LOL
@TinoriWho the f**K is Mike Grella anyway he's like a stupid loudmouth uncle
@Ben-r5h9zUSA won't best Australia and they won't beat Turkey
@Ben-r5h9zWe are going to show you why we are the most powerful nation on earth and in sport
@BrandonBailey-c1mIrakunda a dead ball specialist, and tuliure has scored 14 in 12 games.
@kurthudson1812Everyone is talking about the USA's attacking talent, but Australia's strength has always been organisation and resilience. If the Socceroos stay compact and hit on the counter like they did against Turkey, this game will be much closer than many Americans expect.
@soccerpulse168GO USA!!!! THE WHOLE WORLD IS CHEERING FOR YOU!!! AUSTRALIA PLAYING THE "VICTIM UNDERDOG" IS HILARIOUS!! IT'S GOING TO BE A CLOSE GAME IMO.
@rafaelgoitia4734A lot of arrogant Australia fans here I see trying to convince themselves that the entire world is against them just to manufacture a chip on their shoulders for this game. Pathetic.
@Mark-xl1zeGo Australia! The world is cheering for you!!! SMASH THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@MrDefiance000Seriously who would have guessed that a home game would have had a great level of support
Amazing journalism

@aarowbach8711so this is the USMNT's second World Cup gotta love your World Cup history ?
@aarowbach8711As an Aussie, I wish other Aussies would stop talking smack. Don't underestimate the USA either. Should be a good game.
@danw3735her eyerbows tho
@glenb-gc9iqI hope both USA & AUS go through.. These countries are important sporting nations Both considered Minnows in Football.. Lets both go thru with a draw ❤
@paulparadoxiaUS pundits know football about as well as they know cricket haha. Absolutely no idea! AUS for the win 2-1
@productivefunkLet's spank some Yank Ass!!
@francosoliman103Haha. Everyone always thinks a soccer team is related to individual performance in club games.
Australia proves that wrong every World Cup. Love the confidence though from the USA 😂 see you Saturday.
Poor Mike? You’ve got to be kidding. No Aussie commentator has trashed talked the US team, let alone the US like your creep Grella has done to my country as much as our team.
@WedgetailEagleAs a kiwi i would just like to say Australia goo 🤢goo🤢goo🤢goo🤢 good luck can't believe i am saying this hope you win
@symonyoung9388Keep saying Australia has no chance, we love it! 😂
