World cup

The Socceroos have got Buckley’s of even getting out of the group stage. Most of the players aren’t even playing in a top tier comp. And they’re inexperienced AF.

The bookies agree –

Win World Cup: about 0.1% chance
Win group: about 10% chance

I smell a rat. Ahead of the world cup this month, the Socceroos are only getting positive press. That’s even in media outlets that don’t own TV rights.

So what’s in it to spruik a football team that has no chance? I guess they want to spin this story as long as they can before they have to invent some other content.

Then, when Australia exit the comp, they can pivot to “brave exit”, “lessons learned”, “new generation” and “what next for Popovic?”
