Last update: 5 hours agoSocceroos World Cup squad: Australia named its 26-man roster for Group D, led by Mat Ryan and Mathew Leckie, with 17 first-timers. The big headline is Cristian Volpato, an Italy youth international who switched allegiance to Australia and now earns a World Cup spot just days after the change, alongside uncapped striker Tete Yengi. USMNT warm-up boost: Mauricio Pochettino’s United States beat Senegal 3-2 in Charlotte as Christian Pulisic ended a long scoring drought with a goal and an assist, while Folarin Balogun scored the winner after Senegal’s Sadio Mané twice pulled the match level. Local angle for Paraguay fans: With the US set to open Group D against Paraguay on June 12, the friendly win is the latest confidence lift for a home-host campaign that still has defensive questions after Senegal’s comeback. Paraguay diplomacy note: Paraguay marked Independence Day in Jerusalem, with its envoy saying the country is there “because it believes in Israel.”
