Typical American production. Get off the ‘celebrities’ not watching the game and put the camera on the players. #USAvAUS #Socceroos

Genuinely how is that not a penalty? Metcalfe gets his ankle absolutely trodden on!? Doesn’t matter if it’s an accident, that’s not how the LOTG work. #USAvAUS #WC2026

Gunn should not have been asking to go up for the corner! Goal difference is absolutely going to be significant, and if you lose this then you really want to lose it by one goal! #WorldCup

It would be very, very typical of Scotland to play well against Brazil, lose, finish third, and get edged out by another third-placed team who also finished on three points but have a goal difference of zero. #WorldCup

Brasil 🇧🇷 takes on Haiti 🇭🇹 in the third match of the day. Fusilli is excited to see a fully Western Hemisphere match and expects to see a lot of fun goals. Both teams want to improve over their last match, so there should be some hustle. 🐾⚽️🥅 #pulisoffutbol #worldcup

Fusilli the black fully corded Hungarian puli sits proudly in front of some soccer balls, a Brazilian shirt, and the Brazilian and Haitian flags. He is smiling.

A much better second half from the #Socceroos. They got bullied too easily in the first, too sloppy and slow whenever they got the ball. The injection of pace made a huge difference. The yanks were far more worried with Irankunda, Metcalfe and Volpato kn the pitch. #USAvAUS #USAAUS

Now the ref's time-wasting. Hasn't he done enough to help the home side? #USAvAUS

Well that could easily have been worse #scotland but still disappointing. We go again against the Samba Superstars with absolutely nothing to lose and no expectations. No Scotland, No Party! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #worldcup
