World Cup: Group D: USA vs. Australia, 6/19/2026

[Power Man]

Ladies and gentlemen, the 1996 Chicago Bulls!

NBA referees whenever they heard thst music : “activate whistle protocol, it’s time to protect MJ”

 

[NyQuil]

LOL, the Australian was like a tree trunk there blocking the shot without moving.

US moving the ball well.

If only the Australians had a player who was ineffective at free kicks so we could play the equivalent of "Hack-a-Shaq" by fouling him repeatedly.

(This would of course also require that the fouled player has to be the one to take the free kick, which isn't the case, so this joke doesn't really work anyway.)

 

[Tuggy]

Aussie OG

 

[NyQuil]

Yikes, Australia making it easy.

 

[robertmac43]

That is a rough way to go down...

 

[Sad People]

Hell yeah

 

[Summer Rose]

AUSTRALIA GOAL!!!!

... for the wrong team.

 

[Summer Rose]

That is a rough way to go down...

I mean, they do come from a land down under.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

This USA team is legit. Completely carved up that back line.

Gonna be tough for Australia here.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

There we go!

 

[GKJ]

Don't need Pulisic. The Power of America pulses in the blood of Pepi.

America will decide what the score of this game will be, and Australia will be forced to like it.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Both openers for the US on OGs. Obviously money was changing hands somewhere.

 

[End of Line]

 

[McGarnagle]

Other teams love scoring own goals against the US whenever the world cup is here

 

[koyvoo]

Australia learning that the USA ain’t no Turkey

 

[Tuggy]

So apparently Burgess has 4 OG since November...that's something

It turned a little BDSMy in here.

Should be beheaded, really.

 

[Summer Rose]

It turned a little BDSMy in here.

There are all kinds of comments that sprang to mind to reply with and I'd better make absolutely none of them.

 

[McGarnagle]

Yeah he exaggerated that to draw the card

 

[End of Line]

Aussie there went full on Captain Insano

 

[NyQuil]

Yeah he exaggerated that to draw the card

Modern soccer academies:

 

[McGarnagle]

Bobby Kennedy in the house!

 

[NyQuil]

Captain Insano

He shows no mercy.
