## Resource

The Socceroos suffered a tough 2-0 loss to the United States in Seattle, but their second-half performance hinted at a team on the rise. After a sluggish first half marred by an own goal and a controversial VAR-confirmed second, Australia flipped the script with fresh energy and key substitutions. Connor Metcalfe, Nestory Irankunda, and debutant Cristian Volpato injected pace and creativity, forcing the US defense into overdrive and creating chances they couldn’t convert. Though they fell short, the team’s resilience and tactical shift showed promise ahead of their crucial final group game against Paraguay — where a win could still secure their World Cup fate.
