Mbappe will be too busy trying to stop Natty getting forward to worry the Australia goal 😄

With the pool of defenders that France possess, I’m surprised that Konate is in the team. He’s not a bad player by any means but I think they have better options such as putting Lucas Hernandez at centre half then Theo Hernandez at left back.


There’s a big Scottish contingent in that Aussie line-up.

Rowles and Atkinson from us

Behich from Dundee United

Mooy from Celtic

Irvine has played for a few Scottish teams

Harry Souttar is actually Scottish

Natty could be in for the longest 90 mins of his life tonight. 
 

Mbappe & Hernandez, arguably the two best players in their positions worldwide at the moment. Both absolutely rapid with outrageous quality. 
 

Best of luck young man. 
 

Edit, just noticed it’s Lucas not Theo at left back. A small reprieve. 🫣😅

Absolutely delighted for Rowles and Atkinson and proud of the part we played in their selection.  Career highlight and on the world stage.  Geat for them.  Great for us.

Well, with their new "vibe" coach-belief levels must be high.

 

Hopefully France don't believe really hard.

If Jason Cummings gets on the pitch then my support for Australia will evaporate.

 

 

 

Not sure why.  He supports Hearts. His family supports Hearts, his missus supports Hearts and his missus brother in Italy supports Hearts. :lol:

They should really just turn around and drop their shorts when you compare the value and wages of both sets of players.  At least they are there, learning curve etc etc ;)

A piece just on BBC Scotland news talking about Scottish Premiership players being in the squad However no mention of any Hearts Players however an interview with Cumdog was played. 
Don’t we exist in Scotland!?

As far as I know, the Australia team were the most vocal in their stance against Qatari laws before the tournament. I wonder if that will effect their reception

Let me guess - an Aaron Mooy tribute part?  Wee mention of the fat aussie manager and as its BBC Glasgow a St Mirren mention?  Cummings is the token hun gesture.

I thought the opposite. I thought BBC have been giving Devlin in particular a lot of airtime.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I reckon that’s the first time Hearts have had 2 starters in a World Cup game since Levein & McPherson for Scotland v Sweden in 1990.

It won't happen at all, we've got two players in the starting line-up, without a mention, but Celtic's single player and anyone who's connected with an English club get mentioned.

Just for a bit of fun,,,,, how many minutes in before Hearts get mentioned, if at all? I'll go 12th minute.

Gary Lineker just went through the team line up on BBC TV and failed to mentioned that 2 players were from Hearts.

He said the keeper is EX Brighton & Arsenal, it's Stoke City's Souttar and it's Celtic's Mooy - but not a word about TWO Hearts players. Ridiculous.

Hope Atkinson doesn’t get embarrassed at the back. Also no injuries please 


Why just Atkinson? Rowles is playing against Giroud, a world class centre forward.
