Yanks Trump Socceroos: Australia vs USA Review | Straight Yellow

Straight Yellow continues from Cowgirls in Seattle as part of the Fanatics World Cup Tour.

Adam Peacock is joined by former Socceroos Aaron Mooy and Brad Smith to break down Australia's 2-0 defeat to the United States and what it means for the Socceroos' World Cup campaign.

The boys discuss Australia's slow first half, the USA press, Weston McKennie's influence, Tony Popovic's triple change, the impact of Volpato, Irankunda and Connor Metcalfe, the referee's cramp, and why the second-half response still gives Australia belief heading into the Paraguay game.

They also look ahead to Brazil vs Haiti and Turkey vs Paraguay before an Australian fan has a crack at the mechanical bull in Seattle.
