So big news (for me at least) with this email from FIFA today confirming my media accreditation for #FIFAWorldCup2026 !
Having commentated at Women’s World Cup in Australia 3 years ago, it’s been a dream to be involved at the men’s version.
And now it seems like it’s happening! 😀
#Socceroos
he is not my/our favourite coach ever but I love living in a timeline where Graham Arnold is a national hero to a war-torn country. 😅👊😂
#Socceroos #SokkahTwitter
gutted for Jamaica but congratulations DR Congo, wow 52 years!
and us #Socceroos fans thought we had it bad with our 32 year World Cup drought.
good things come to those who wait.
with Italy out, my World Cup interest gas tank is officially empty but I will still follow the #Socceroos.
13 - #Socceroos' 5-1 victory vs Curaçao tonight is the 13th time they've scored at least five goals in their inaugural meeting against an opposition in 'A' internationals. Adjusted.
#FIFAWorldCup #AUSvCUW
Great job boys - nice way to end the final matches at home before the World Cup! 💚💛 Now, please don’t get injured playing for your clubs between now and then… 🙏🤞🏽 #Socceroos #AUSvCUW #FWC26
The Socceroos delivered an impressive display in their final home game before the #FIFAWorldCup, thrashing Curaçao 5-1 in Melbourne. The team showed skill and determination, sending fans home optimistic for the campaign ahead.

Well done #socceroos, a 5-1 demolition of Curaçao.
Apart from conceding, better 2nd half.
And that's the last time I'll see them until I'll be in Vancouver for the opening game.
All the best, lads.
#Socceroos
Nestory Irankunda alone is worth the price of admission. What an exciting talent. #socceroos
16,764 at the #Socceroos farewell game tonight... although most Chinese left after the China game against Cameroon.
I think Irankundra just booked his spot on the #Socceroos plane to the World Cup. The kind of X-factor they need up front. 4-1 with ten minutes of regulation time remaining. #AUSvCUW
Nestory Irankunda…please never change! 😂🔥🔥🔥 #Socceroos #AUSvCUW
GET THAT LAD TO NORTH AMERICA NOW!!! I DON'T CARE HOW CRAPPY THAT GOAL WAS, GET HIM ON FARKEN!!!
#Socceroos
Jordy Bos…kicks a ripping goal within minutes of coming onto the pitch 🙌🏽 - begs the question why Popovic didn’t bring him and Nestory on earlier with how much energy they bring to the team! 💚💛 #Socceroos #AUSvCUW
Fucking HATE whatever the #Socceroos are wearing.
That’s your line up Tony.
#Socceroos
Circati with the header to put the #Socceroos back in front. The captain of Parma with his first goal for the national team. Then 20 minutes to go and Bos gets the third: 3-1. #AUSvCUW
YES JORDY LAD!!!
#Socceroos
That's more like it. Nice header by Circarti.
#Socceroos
It’s very hard to be upset about how well Curacao are playing as they all seem like lovely, sweet people… 💙😂 Bos and Nestory coming on finally - hopefully that will settle things down for us 🤞🏽 #Socceroos #AUSvCUW
The last couple of minutes of commentary was a conversation that should be on a podcast. If only these two had one...
#AUSvCUW #Socceroos
Club specific chants at national team games (ie, anti Sydney chants): 🚮
#Socceroos
Curaçao get one back to level the score at 1-all. A slick header behind the #Socceroos defence, with Rowles beaten for pace. #AUSvCUW
Well then...
#Socceroos
A few half-time changes for the #Socceroos. Nice to see Nishan Velupillay on for Hrustic. And glad to see Albirex Niigata's Jason Geria is still rocking the Isaac Hayes look. #AUSvCUW
Apart from the Mabil goal, that was a meh half.
Sure we could've scored another goal or two, but not much in that 1st half.
Hopefully the 2nd 45 will pick things up from here.
#Socceroos
I’m sorry but that was a dire half of football. Bugger all intensity against a minnow opponent has lead to a game of poor quality from both sides.
#AUSvCUW #Socceroos
Robbie and Macca are commentating tonight and Robbie was about to launch into their @aleagueoffair.bsky.social podcast trivia question. 😉
Did you hear it @andyhowe-statto.bsky.social?
#AUSvCUW #Socceroos #FIFASeries
He's back baby! First #Socceroos match under Popovic, for Awer Mabil. And he scores. Aggressive pressing creates the turnover for Hrustic, who squares the ball to Juric - who back-heels to Mabil. Magic: 1-nil. #AUSvCUW
