Socceroos star Awer Mabil, a refugee from Kenya, was moved to reflect on his past and Australia's multiculturalism during a press conference. He spoke about being a 'big brother' to younger teammates and the viral video celebrating the team's diversity.
Socceroos striker Mo Touré missed training days before the World Cup opener, raising concerns about the squad's thin forward options. The 22-year-old, who has a history of muscle injuries, is expected to train Thursday, but his potential absence highlights the team's reliance on him.
Australian striker Mo Touré has scored his ninth goal in 10 games for Norwich City, earning comparisons to a young Erling Haaland from his coach Philippe Clement. The 22-year-old, who joined from Danish side Randers FC in January, scored the winner in a 2-1 victory over Derby County at Carrow Road on Tuesday, bouncing back from an earlier missed penalty. The former Adelaide United player has now scored four goals this week following his second hat-trick for the club, providing a timely boost to Socceroos coach Tony Popovic ahead of the World Cup.
