4 d. ago ‘Why do we have to wait?’: Tony Popovic puts no limits on what Socceroos can achieve | Joey Lynch

The Australia head coach insists the time is now for the emerging side to rise above expectations and ‘go very far’ at a men’s World CupWhen Tony Popovic was finally able to assemble his first Socceroos squad, the new coach laid out a series of expectations. Most were clear and to the point – ideal given the upheaval surrounding his sudden arrival, following Graham Arnold’s resignation, and with less than three weeks to prepare for crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers against China and Japan.Popovic insisted that any player who aspired to pull on a Socceroos shirt would need to adopt an “elite” mentality to earn, or continue to earn, that honour.

His words have been mirrored in the club’s actions.Since running Paris Saint-Germain close for the title in the 2022-23 season, when they finished just one point behind the eventual champions, the Lens squad has been decimated. First, it was Seko Fofana and Loïs Openda; then it was Abdukodir Khusanov, Elye Wahi, Brice Samba and Kevin Danso; and this summer it was Neil El-Aynaoui, Andy Diouf and Facundo Medina.
