| 6/21/26 | ![]() Socceroos vs USA review | What went wrong? Plus blockbuster Paraguay preview | The Socceroos suffered a 2-0 defeat to tournament co-hosts USA in Seattle, coming back down to earth after their impressive opening win over Turkiye. Tony Popovic's surprise lineup selections failed to fire early as Australia struggled to match the Americans' intensity, conceding two fortunate first-half goals and creating little in attack.Second-half changes sparked life into the Socceroos, with Nestory Irankunda, Connor Metcalfe and Jason Geria making an immediate impact. Christian Volpato's lively 30-minute cameo was one of the major positives as Australia pushed hard for a way back into the contest but couldn't find a breakthrough.In this episode we discuss:What went wrong against the USA?Did Popovic get the starting lineup wrong?The impact of the halftime substitutionsChristian Volpato's exciting performanceWhether this was a reality check or a warning signHow Australia should approach the must-win clash with ParaguayShould the attack be built around the younger generation?What tactical flexibility does Popovic have if Australia falls behind?A-League & Transfer NewsWe also cover the latest transfer and coaching news:Jing Reec and Jonathan Aspropotamitis join Macarthur BullsMitch Duke departs MacarthurMarko Ilic signs for Brisbane Roar as Jay O'Shea leavesPerth Glory retain Charbel Shamoon and add Henry Hore and Calem NieuwenhofWestern Sydney Wanderers release seven players, including Kosta Barbarouses and Steven Ugarkovic BrillanteDan Hall leaves Auckland FC while Steve Corica joins Yokohama F.
