American pundits are saying this game is a lay up for the Yanks, hope the Aussie smash them, but realistically best they can hope for is probably a draw. It's a CL group stage team at best, v a Conference last 8 sort of team. If the Aussies play to the same level as they did v Turkey, they have a chance of a result. Hopefully the aptly named Aussie Keeper Beach, keeps those American bums at bay.
Kind Regards.

I was quite impressed with USA attacking display against Paraguay, although not as much as the Media were. Poch is still a good coach and USA are obviously significantly stronger than the likes of Canada and Mexico. So, they are rightly favourites. I didn't see the Aussies win against Turkey, I hear that they rode their luck at times. Nevertheless, a win against a team as strong as Turkey shouldn't be discounted. I believe that USA will win, but 1.65 looks too short. USA win and BTTS would be my guess, but a watching brief for me to start off with.
A better bet might be Turkey to beat Paraguay at 2.12. Turkey are too good a side to go out at this stage, and should have too much for Paraguay. |

Apparently Pulisic is fit to start

This is the beauty of having watched everyone play and making your own judgement, Paraguay were very poor against the yanks and although Turkey getting beat by the Aussies is a poor result, I'd be inclined to believe that that was an anomaly and therefore think that odds against for them against Paraguay is an over reaction, they should be odds on here.

Australia certainly very flattered by their win over Turkey...USA looked very sharp in their opener as they did in their last warm up game against Senegal.

Leckie (Melbourne City) comes in for Metcalfe, this guy is a 35 year old forward replacing a 26 year old playing in the Bundesliga, or least they were, just relegated.
Velupillay (Melbourne City) replaces Irankunda |

Compared to some of the Australian sides at previous WC's - looks very light to me but they still put in a helluva of a shift..just don't see them often converting their rare chances in they style they did the other night..outshot 30-9 by Turkey

Although we have a sporting rivalry with the Aussies, I'd love nothing more than to see them beat the Yanks, especially after listening to some of their pundits on how easy the game will be, the ironic thing is Aussie fans were probably happy they got the US as well.

I like Poch' so for that reason I hope they have a reasonable WC but yep..

Pulisic a miss, but how big a miss in a game where they're expected to have so much dominance? It wasn't only he who impressed in their opener, it was the overall team performance that impressed over 1 individual. Aussies always gonna set up for another smash&grab as they did against the Turks, but you won't get away with that when you're opponent shows any decent level of efficiency with their attacking dominance.

Why tf do refs stop games at corners to sort out hustling, just let the corner be taken and then give the foul one way or another, every ref does this and sometimes takes an eternity for a corner to be taken
|

By:
Agreed mesmerised. Very annoying and unnecessary.

Aussies passing it out from the back, scroll up people and look at the level of clubs they play for and they're doing that, the Pep disease

Still better than hoofing it anywhere

If you're backing overs it is

The problem is 95% of teams cannot do it, they get caught out time and again

Still better to give it a go and try to improve

how many OG's is that now? the Under 8 OG (or whatever it was) bet must be in danger.

from what I read it was more a club decision than an Arteta one, he'd get a game for United and Chelsea over their current forwards
|

By:
I can't see Australia getting back into this from what I've seen, US way too comfortable in defence against any attack
|

Poch looks like he's auditioning for some sort of fashion advert.
|

By:
he looks sharp but not sure he's playing ahead of Sesko or Pedro, maybe Delap on recent form..
