Balard seems to have done very well since arriving at Breda. Wondering if he is living with fellow ANZAC Garbett.
Huge game tomorrow for the Socceroos (5pts) hosting Saudi (5 pts), in Melbourne. Australia win and they could be a clear 2nd behind Japan (10 pts). Bahrain also on 5 pts, host China. The 2nd in the window, Socceroos in Bahrain will also be big.
Remembering the top 2 teams in each pool qualify for Nth America 2026. Other teams have to go through further qualifying games.in the pool.

On his nickname ‘the Aussie Kante’
I'm very flattered by it. I think it's the supporters from Breda in the Netherlands have given me that name. [N'Golo] Kante is a top player, I must say, but I'm very flattered.
