Having both won their opening FIFA World Cup games, with the U.S. Men’s National Team defeating Paraguay 4-1 and Australia taking down Türkiye 2-0, it is now time for the two Group D leaders to face one another.
The two teams will battle it out for three points - which would secure them a spot in the Round of 32 - on Friday at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, from 3pm ET.
Tensions are high between these two teams heading into the game, thanks to a months-long verbal battle between USMNT legends, including Landon Donovan and Alexi Lalas, and Socceroos head coach Tony Popovic.
