Australia’s 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign continues in round of 32 knockout against Egypt at Dallas Stadium; Tony Popovic set to name squad

Play the moment, not the occasion – as Popovic said pre-game – comes into play now. This can be the point at which a team gets shaky, overcome by the occasion. It happened against the US big time. It does not appear to be happening now, however, as Australia look to equalise straight away. Without a beat, a Circati throw ends up with O’Neill which ends up with a speculative shot.

Souttar, too, stays on his toes to block an effort from Marmoush.

Australia 0-1 Egypt, 18 minutes
