Regardless of whether Australia will win or lose, this article will focus on what the squad should look like and who the best young players are in Australia. We will also take a look at some records the team has set at World Cups and who the Hidden Gem might be.
Australia World Cup squad
Despite the lack of star power, Australia has some promising young players in their squad. They are going to face a tough group of opponents. However, they can still qualify if they win their matches.
The Socceroos were drawn into a tough group and are likely to face defending world champions France in their first match. They will also play Denmark and Tunisia.
There are some promising young players in the Australia World Cup squad. They include Nathaniel Atkinson and Bailey Wright. Despite being relatively young, both players are experienced in the World Cup. This is important as Australia may need to play a few games before they reach the knockout stages.
Another player who can be considered a potential breakthrough is 18-year-old attacker Garang Kuol. He has already made one appearance for the national team, in September. He will join Newcastle United in January.
Australia has a number of young defenders, including Harry Souttar. He is back from an injury that sidelined him last year.
The midfield is another area of strength. They have been blessed with talent over the past decade. They will have to make sure that they don’t get too many overruns in the middle of the park. They will also have to score some goals to keep their group hopes alive.
Aaron Mooy
- Whether Aaron Mooy will be one of the standout players in the Socceroos squad for the 2022 World Cup remains to be seen. But he is likely to be involved in the midfield.
- His ability in that position will be a key factor in whether the Socceroos are successful in Qatar. He will be responsible for controlling the game’s tempo and preventing overruns in the middle of the park.
- Money has already impressed them during his time in Scotland. He has started two league matches for Celtic. He has also earned three assists during those matches. In addition, he has a goal to his credit. He also has international experience. He has played under Graham Potter and Australian manager Ange Postecoglou.
- He has also played in the English leagues. He has played for Brighton, Huddersfield, and Celtic. He joined Celtic after his release from Shanghai Port. He was reunited with former national team manager Ange Postecoglou.
- Aaron Mooy’s role in the team is likely to be one of the most important during the World Cup. He will have to bring his best if Australia is to make it to the finals. The Socceroos have already lost key players due to injury in the build-up to the tournament.
Matt Ryan
Having suffered the disappointment of missing out on the World Cup in Russia last year, the United States is back in the World Cup after failing to qualify for the last one. The team is set to travel to Qatar in less than two weeks. They will start on the group stage and face Australia, France, and Denmark.
The United States will travel to Qatar with a youthful squad and will aim to qualify for the round of 16. There are plenty of exciting prospects on the USMNT’s roster.
The team is expected to have 26 players on their roster. However, the list is a long one and will be confirmed in the coming days. The team is expected to play in the group stage, which will determine which teams advance to the round of 16.
The team will be led by Gregg Berhalter, who is a former Socceroos player. He is also the coach of Union Berlin. He has also coached the Central Coast Mariners and Toronto FC.
The USMNT will not be able to use a few key players in their squad, including Gerard Moreno, Fabian Ruiz, and Sergio Ramos. However, they will be able to replace injured players up to 24 hours before the first match.
Best young player for Australia
Despite the Socceroos’ disappointing qualification campaign for the World Cup in Qatar, they will have at least two young players in the squad who will be able to make a major contribution in 2022. But what are the prospects for these players? Here are some names that have emerged as potential starters for the 2022 World Cup.
Ajdin Hrustic was a key member of Australia’s qualification campaign. He is an exciting attacking midfielder who possesses goal-scoring potential. He poses a threat from set pieces, as well as open play. He is a creative player who is capable of operating as a box-to-box player. He is also the team’s most creative player.
Another young talent is Amirhossein Hosseinzadeh. The Charleroi midfielder starred for Esteghlal in Iran before joining Belgium’s Charleroi. His style fits the tactical approach of manager Carlos Quieroz. He thrives in transition. He could be a real star in Qatar.
Despite the disappointment of qualification, Australia has shown plenty of talent in the midfield. They have a solid squad of young players who have the potential to make an impact in the World Cup. They could also include some young players who have already made an impact in the top tier.
Hidden Gem
Among Australia’s World Cup 2022 squad are some promising young talents. For example, 18-year-old striker Garang Kuol will join Newcastle United in January. Jamie Maclaren, who plays for the Japanese club Tokyo Verdy, will also be in the mix.
Another notable player is midfielder Ajdin Hrustic, who scored a last-minute winner against the UAE in an Asian playoff. Hrustic has made good progress from his knocks.
Australia is also expected to do well in the group stage but is not expected to make the knockout stage. The aforementioned is the same as the previous one – the Socceroos are not expected to break through stronger opposition in Qatar.
The Socceroos will look to Aaron Mooy to play a big part in their marketing campaign in Qatar. He will be responsible for controlling the tempo of the game in the middle of the park. He will also be tasked with preventing overruns.
Aaron Mooy is no stranger to Premier League clubs, having played for Huddersfield, Celtic and Brighton. He also has some World Cup experience under Graham Potter. He can score from distance.
Australia’s squad is not as strong as the one in Russia. It will likely miss the likes of Tom Rogic and Vitaliy Mykolenko. It also lacks star power, as several players are still injured.
Australia records at World Cup
During Australia’s illustrious history at the World Cup, the Socceroos have only made it to the knockout stage on two occasions. Their last appearance in the round of 16 came in 2006 when they lost to eventual champions Italy.
The Socceroos will play in Qatar for the FIFA World Cup in 2022. They will be the first Asian team to qualify for the round of 16. The team qualified for their fifth World Cup in a row.
In the last World Cup tournament, Australia finished in third place in the qualification standings with six points from five games. The team has lost two of their last three games. It is their weakest squad at a World Cup.
Australia qualified for the 2006 World Cup in Germany. They also secured qualification for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. They were the only Asian team to qualify for the round of 16. The Socceroos are currently in third place in the qualification standings with a record of six points from five games.
Australia had a good performance at the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup. They defeated France in the group stage but failed to progress to the round of 16. They then narrowly lost to eventual champions Italy in the Round of 16.
Australia qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup after a penalty shootout win against Uruguay. The team was drawn into Group F along with Brazil. The Socceroos lost 2-0 but were able to clinch a draw with Japan. They also beat Saudi Arabia 2-0 in London.
Predictions
Several Australians will be making their way to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. With a lot of injuries and a lack of star players, the Socceroos have a lot to live up to.
The Socceroos have been drawn in Group B against China, Oman, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. They will have to defeat Tunisia in match two to have a chance of reaching the knockout rounds.
The Socceroos have not won a World Cup match since beating Serbia 2-1 in 2010. Their last win came against the United Arab Emirates in a second-round playoff. The Socceroos also managed to qualify for the fourth-round play-off against UAE.
The Socceroos will be looking to get back on track and improve their record in Qatar. Australia has failed to score in three of their four qualifying games and has never made it to the knockout stage of a World Cup. The team is reliant on set pieces and counter-attacks.
The Socceroos will be led by Graham Arnold. The coach has been credited with the best win percentage of any permanent Australian manager.
The Socceroos will be playing in the fifth consecutive World Cup. They have not been beaten in a game since their 2-1 defeat to Serbia in 2010. Despite the lack of star players, the team has a solid young defensive group.
Conclusion
Australia has never won the World Cup but they have qualified four times and this will be their fifth attempt at reaching the final. Group stages will commence on November 21st with Australia facing France, Peru, Denmark, and Hong Kong whilst Cahill leads the side in goal with Jedinak and Broich providing adequate backup.
