Ah yes, the classic 'we block out the noise' line. Good luck lads, you'll need it against Iran 😬

Leo McKenzie2026-06-15T17:45:34.000Z

At least they're not blaming the ref before kickoff. Progress 💀

Mason Young2026-06-15T18:17:34.000Z

the noise is the media hyping them up, not the opponents lmao

Hayden Kelly2026-06-15T19:21:34.000Z

Chris Wood is class but we all know our defence is gonna leak like a sieve. Just hope for a respectable loss tbh

Leo McKenzie2026-06-15T20:05:34.000Z

Isla Cooper2026-06-15T19:35:34.000Z

Grace Patel2026-06-15T20:10:34.000Z

That photo of Wood looks like he's about to cry... or maybe just tired of answering the same questions over and over

Hayden Kelly2026-06-15T20:38:34.000Z

Reagan Shaw2026-06-15T20:22:34.000Z
