Australia go down fighting to Brazil in fiery 4-2 friendly defeat

Socceroos led 2-1 with goals from Metcalfe and Circati Two late goals sealed win for five-time world champions His first touch taking the ball goalward, Vanderson felt the pressure from Australian defenders closing in and laced a shot goalward, burying it in the top corner of Patrick Beach’s net and putting Brazil ahead. All of 132 seconds had transpired at Lang Park, and, after being forced to salvage a 1-1 draw with effectively the last touch of the game four days prior, it not only represented a perfect start for the Seleção, but also felt like it was sending a message. We’re Brazil, you’re Australia, and we’re going to put you in your place. And 90 minutes later, a level of pride had been restored when it finished 4-2 to the South Americans. As that effort from the Monaco defender nestled in the back of the net, memories of Nestory Irankunda’s free-kick blast at Queensland Country Bank Stadium were already fading. And as Raphinha twice thundered efforts into the body of Beach a minute later, it started to feel almost like it was 2017 again, when Diego Souza scored after just 11 seconds at the MCG to set up a comprehensive 4-0 win or 2013, when Jô scored after seven minutes in Brasília to set up a 6-0 win.

Thomas Tuchel resists ‘madness’ of calls to rest England players despite longer window

I don’t take calls from Premier League managers, he says England play Czechia in Prague on Tuesday Thomas Tuchel says it would be “madness” to allow his England players or the clubs to pick and choose their matches during the elongated Nations League window as he promised to go full throttle for victory against Czechia in Prague on Tuesday.

USA thrash Peru as teenage newcomers shine in first step toward 2030

Eleven players make US debuts in Orlando Sullivan, 16, starts in youngest US appearance in years Ellis and Hall score as Pochettino’s new faces impress Playing in their first match of the 2030 World Cup cycle, the US men’s national team crushed Peru 4-1 in at Orlando’s Inter&Co Stadium on Saturday, riding goals from newcomers Justin Ellis and Julian Hall to victory. The win marked the US debut of 16-year-old Philadelphia Union midfielder Cavan Sullivan, whose appearance in the US starting XI makes him the youngest player to feature for the national team in over two decades. Sullivan received the lion’s share of the attention in the lead-up to Saturday’s match but it was Orlando City’s Ellis who stole the show early, nodding home a Gio Reyna free kick in the fourth minute to give the US an early lead. Playing in his home stadium, Ellis himself was involved in the build-up that led to the free kick, part of a nifty interchange with midfielder Malik Tillman that ended with Ellis drawing a foul at the near side of the pitch some 25 yards from goal. Reyna’s service was excellent; Ellis’ headed finish was awkward but perfectly-placed at the far post. Continue reading...
