Australia vs Paraguay: Socceroos Predicted Starting XI (World Cup Group D Finale)
The Socceroos have had the statement win over Türkiye, the grudge match against the United States, the full national emotional spiral over one American pundit calling us a “lay-up”, and the very Australian experience of getting a little too excited before being reminded that football is, in fact, deeply cruel.
