Straight Yellow continues from San Francisco as part of the Fanatics World Cup Tour.


Adam Peacock is joined by former Socceroos Aaron Mooy, Alex Tobin and Brad Smith at Gino and Carlo in North Beach to preview Australia's crucial World Cup clash with Paraguay and look back at the latest action from around the tournament.


The boys discuss Tony Popovic's likely formation and selection calls, the pressure around the Socceroos after the USA defeat, why Australia should take control of the Paraguay game, and how the squad can build momentum into the knockout stages.


They also unpack Lionel Messi breaking the World Cup goals record, whether Kylian Mbappe can eventually chase him down, who they would trust to finish a chance for their life, Mo Salah's standout moment against New Zealand, Japan's strong form, Cape Verde's underdog story, Ronaldo and Portugal, France, Norway vs Senegal, driverless Ubers in San Francisco and a few classic football sledges.
