Preview : USA & Australia Clash In Seattle For Top Spot in Group D

Mauricio Pochettino and Tony Popovic
USMNT Lock Horns With The Socceroos

The stakes are high as the USMNT lock horns with the Socceroos at the packed-to-the-rafters Lumen Field in Seattle, the home of Boeing, in a few hours from now ( June 20, 12.30 am IST).

The Confident Americans

With an emphatic win over Paraguay a few days ago, the Americans will be high on confidence and with a roaring partisan crowd to back them to the hilt, the co-hosts look good to crack this game.

The Socceroos Dumped Turkiye And Are Coming  For The Americans

Australia delivered a sucker punch on favourites Turkiye, beating them in a tactical masterclass from their manager, Tony Popovic. Without a stretch of imagination, the Socceroos are not going to make it any easier for the Americans.

The Prize Is Big

The winner in this Group D contest will top the group and will most certainly qualify for the Round of 32. The motivation is immense, and Mauricio Pochettino will look to be aggressive and drive home an early advantage.

Socceroos Will Look To Unleash Irankunda

The Australians will defend with their 6’6″ giant in Harry Souttar, in Central defence and their brilliant goalkeeper Patrick Beach. They will draw out the rampant Americans and then attack on the counter with their 20-year-old sensation Nestory Irankunda.

The Americans Have Folarin Balogun To Counter

The Americans, however, would have taken note of this and would be wary of the threat from the Australians. Folarin Balogun would be fresh and gunning for more goals for the USMNT.

The USA Should Win This

The USA are clear favourites and should win this.
