yeah nah we're gonna get smashed. Iran's ranked way higher and we haven't won a game in like forever.

Aria Wilson2026-06-14T22:05:57.000Z

honestly, who cares about rankings? we just need to play our game and believe. ben old is a legend, glad he's in the squad

ffs another world cup, another loss. wish we'd actually invest in football instead of just rugby all the time

Noah Bennett2026-06-14T22:43:57.000Z

oh great, more hype for nothing. remember when we couldn't even score against peru? this is gonna be a massacre

Noah Bennett2026-06-14T23:04:57.000Z

negative nancy. we showed good spirit in the qualifiers, that's gotta count for something

Hayden Kelly2026-06-14T23:40:57.000Z

sack the coach already. same old story every time. bring in someone who actually knows how to win

Drew Parker2026-06-14T23:57:57.000Z

get stuffed. the coach got us to the world cup, what more do you want?

Jack Morrison2026-06-14T23:57:57.000Z

iran are no joke, they almost beat argentina a few years back. but hey, if we park the bus and nick a goal maybe?

Blake Turner2026-06-15T00:21:57.000Z

park the bus and pray for a set piece? yeah that's our world cup strategy right there 😂
