Socceroos’ World Cup Dream Hangs on Mexico Friendly as Coach Tony Popovic Finalizes Squad
The Socceroos face Mexico in a crucial friendly match this Sunday, serving as the final audition for players vying for a spot in Tony Popovic’s 26-man World Cup squad. With the late inclusion of Cristian Volpato, several fringe players are in a ‘last chance saloon’ to prove their worth.
While Popovic indicates most decisions are made, the game offers a final opportunity for those on the bubble to secure their place before the official squad submission, though injury changes remain possible until the eve of their first World Cup match against Turkey.
