After an exhilarating victory over Türkiye the Socceroos must now conquer the United States of America next week. A tough ask especially given the disadvantage handed to Australia under AUKUS.
As per the arrangement, the Socceroos will be forced to defend with ageing American leftovers rather than the youthful vibrant team that settled the Gallipoli score.
A source close to FIFA told The Times that the situation was unusual but they were powerless to stand in-between a deal forged by a happy-clapping PM. Adding,
“It is highly unusual but that’s what Australia agreed to. When it comes to defence they believe washed up American shit is the way to go”
Seeing an American sub-stitute in place of Beach will be a blow to many legit Socceroo fans and the legion of enthusiastic bandwagoners. One fan told The Times,
“I live and breath the Socceroos as of yesterday and honestly what are we thinking subbing out Beach for that decrepit Virginia Class? Unreal!”
However, Australia has urged the public to accept that the deal is in Australia’s best interest and the Socceroos will have the finest defence capabilities almost $400B can buy.
