I reckon the 24 hours after that win over Turkiye, he would have let them enjoy the experience for a hot minute.

But yeah, absolutely.

The next day, the focus turns to this game against the USA, which was spicy coming into the tournament and feels even spicier now.

Now, the USA beat Paraguay in their opening game and they beat them convincingly.

It was 4-1.

Paraguay didn't offer up as much as we expected, perhaps, but the USA looked good, Sam.

More European-style football than we'd anticipated.

Christian Pulisic, who plays for AC Milan, had scored zero goals this year at club land.

He hadn't been in form at club level.

He looked outrageously good in the first half of this game for the US.

Now, we didn't see him in the second half, and Maurizio Pochettino, the coach of America, said afterwards that

He'd suffered a knock to the calf in the lead up.

He said he would be absolutely fine for game two.

He is a game changer.

Whether he plays or does not play is absolutely huge for America.

That'll be an interesting one for the Aussies to combat.

The U.S.

is going to throw a whole heap more at them than Turkey did.

So does the Australian side sit back?

Do they back that defensive capability or do they go at the U.S.
