The Socceroos World Cup win over Türkiye in their opening round match is one of the biggest wins in Australian soccer history. This new generation of young players is looking like the real deal.
Türkiye dominated the game with 72% possession, twice as many shots on target and endless pressure. They rattled the post and Patrick Beach had a blinder to keep the Socceroos in it. But at the end of the day Australia took their chances, and walked away with the win. So today Olan Tekkers is trying to figure out what actually happened.
He's joined by ARN Sports Reporter John Bric who is there on the ground in Vancouver. They discuss that ridiculous Nestory Irankunda moment and whether Tony Popovic cooked up a tactical masterclass...and whether the Socceroos will be exposed against better teams.
Tekkers wonders if the Socceroos play against Spain or Argentina, will they survive?
Then we look ahead to the Australia vs USA game and whether the Aussies should stick to a defensive set up or go harder for the win.
Regardless, it was a huge win. A lot of noise. And some big questions about what comes next.
