Just realised that Balogun is only eligible to play for the USA because he happened to be born there while his parents were on holiday. Certainly an interesting person to have as your star given everything that's going on in the USA at the moment!

Not just that but his mother was denied a flight back to England because she was too heavily pregnant at the time and it ended up being in September 2001 when she was able to fly back from New York in the same month and city as 9/11 when Balogun was two months old.

Antonee Robinson booked for USA.

the USA chant is lowkey decent(?) Better than what I saw on TikTok

Australia have been putting on the pressure and getting in good positions but just not happening for them today.

Balogun, Souttar, Italiano all booked just then.

Six minutes of added time in this match.

“We All Know That We Will Win”

Richards now booked for USA.

Referee down this is so funny

I believe this was the same ref who was involved in an 2005 match-fixing scandal in Germany.

I thought that USA were quite sloppy in that second half.

Australia will regret not starting with Irankunda

Bless the Americans getting really hyped up about their chances when they have one of the easiest groups to get out of.

I slept through our game, but from an Australian point of view it doesn’t look like I missed much.

Disappointing to lose, but hopefully they can bounce back.

Australia might find it hard to qualify for the knockouts from here. It’s funny the optimism I had a week ago is pretty much gone.

35mins in Paraguay lead Turkey 1-0.
