The Socceroos are set to face Colombia, featuring star winger Luis Diaz, in a challenging match in New York. Coach Tony Popovic continues to introduce new talent, aiming to improve Australia's record against South American teams.

Flushing

The Socceroos are gearing up to play Colombia in New York, where they will face the formidable winger Luis Diaz, known for his outstanding performances at both club and international level. Following a recent loss to Venezuela with an experimental line-up, coach Tony Popovich remains committed to exposing new players to high-level competition, emphasizing the importance of learning from difficult matches.

Colombia, who finished third in World Cup qualifying, are expected to have strong support in New York. Australia's historical record against South American teams stands at nine wins from 49 matches, with Popovich highlighting the need to break this trend, particularly in future World Cup encounters.

Socceroos prepare for major test against Colombia in New York

Hands up if you want to play right back for the Socceroos, with Luis Diaz running at you. The Colombian winger's recent catalogue of goals making him look unstoppable. Where he's played at Liverpool, Bayern Munich, outstanding for Colombia, again a player that's played the highest level 50-60 games a year. That's what you're up against, but that's what's coming in June, so we can expose ourselves to that now. It's a great challenge and I'll make sure the players are looking forward to it. A drastic improvement needed from the Socceroos after losing to Venezuela, Australia posing little threat with an experimental line-up featuring four debutants. That was my choice to expose them, I don't regret doing that, I'm happy we did that. We learnt a lot from the game. Tony Popovich opting to throw players in at the deep end, rather than using only the tried and trusted. I'll continue doing that all the way through, so nothing will change. We have a very small group of players that are maybe exposed to the highest level, so we have to expose them to these games, these difficult matches and difficult moments in a game, how do they handle that. Colombia to have huge support in New York, they finished third behind Argentina and Ecuador in World Cup qualifying, and notwithstanding a few notable results, Australia's record against South American teams is not great, nine wins from 49 attempts. We have to break that duck against South American opposition, so that's something we have to do. We have to get them in the World Cup, that's where I really want to change that.
