LIVE: Souttar strikes as new-look Socceroos lead world No.12 Mexico in huge 2026 WC preview
The Socceroos are facing Mexico in an early preview of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, playing the world’s 12th-ranked team in a friendly in Dallas.
Following Aaron Mooy’s retirement, it is a crucial chance for Graham Arnold to test his midfield combinations, while he also handed a starting debut Cameron Burgess in the centre of defence alongside Harry Souttar.Souttar is out of favour at English Championship side Leicester City, but the towering centre-back opened the scoring for Australia with a glancing header into the bottom corner from a Jackson Irvine corner.
They began to stretch and strain the Mexico defence, particularly on the counter-attack - with Mexico dominating possession but the Socceroos turning the ball over and flooding forward at pace.
