Connor Metcalfe is fed up with American media dismissing Australia’s World Cup chances, calling out former stars like Alexi Lalas and Landon Donovan for their negative takes. The Socceroos, currently in San Diego preparing for a crucial friendly against Switzerland, are focused on silencing doubters on the field — with coach Tony Popovic using the match as a vital dress rehearsal for their opener against the USA. New winger Cristian Volpato, recently switched from Italy, is set to make his debut despite early criticism, and Metcalfe says he’s blended in seamlessly. Meanwhile, Switzerland’s star striker Breel Embolo cleared his travel visa after meeting US officials, ready to join the squad. With the World Cup looming, Australia is dialed in, determined to prove their critics wrong — one game at a time.
