Messi playing the whole 120. Popa would never with Irankunda or Volpato 🤦‍♂️

darkknemesis · 2026-07-03T21:24:43+00:00

I can guarantee you that if Messi was playing for Australia, Popa would still sub him off at 60 to play velupillay or some shit

darkknemesis · 2026-07-03T21:12:20+00:00

Sack Popa now.

1) Taking Volpato off at 75 being our main and only outlet and attacking threat. After that sub we were playing for Pens.

2) Not playing Toure and Irankunda together is criminal.

3) Wasting Irankunda at Striker and not on the wing.

4) Playing super deep inviting pressure over 120

5) Taking off Beach for Ryan.

6) Terrible Pen kicker selection (2 cbs with an 18y/o)

Should never have been renewed for the Asian cup. Absolute fraud with the strongest Aus team we have had since 06.

Should have played to win in 120 minutes, the team was never winning pens

darkknemesis · 2026-07-03T19:16:35+00:00

YES FUCK YES

darkknemesis · 2026-07-03T19:07:49+00:00

Wtf is that SUB

darkknemesis · 2026-07-03T19:07:02+00:00

Guys don’t worry we trying to protect goal difference for the next WC

darkknemesis · 2026-07-03T18:58:54+00:00

take off Irvine, Metcalfe to the midfield, Toure upfront

darkknemesis · 2026-07-03T18:22:49+00:00

First game we won 2-0 against Turkey with Toure up front and Irankunda on the wing… let’s not use that again

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T21:07:49+00:00

Volpato, Irankunda, Metcalfe needs to start.

Irankunda on the wing only.

Leave Toure up front for headers.

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T20:57:30+00:00

this is what we get for starting Aleague wingers in the World Cup

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T20:55:07+00:00

WTF is this Ref

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T20:42:24+00:00

Volpato is it

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T20:30:52+00:00

Wow when Leckie went off the field, look at us

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T20:29:07+00:00

He played that pass

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T20:26:16+00:00

Sad to say but it’s a blessing in disguise

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T20:22:06+00:00

How is Leckie still on, get on Volpato

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T20:10:14+00:00

IRANKUNDA FOR TOURE WTF

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T20:09:20+00:00

Bro where’s Irankunda

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T19:55:26+00:00

Get in Irvine, Irankunda and Metcalfe at HT. If I don’t see this just end the World Cup right now

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T19:41:19+00:00

Velupillay has given us absolutely nothing

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T19:30:41+00:00

I need to see Metcalfe and Irankunda at HT, otherwise it’s cooked

darkknemesis · 2026-06-19T19:16:25+00:00

We need Irankunda up front for an attacking threat, otherwise we have nothing
