Hrustic A. — Heracles, 2025/2026: 24 apps · ⚽ 1 · 🅰 6 · 🟨 5
Australia's midfielder Ajdin Hrustic has dismissed the criticism of the Socceroos' goalless draw against Paraguay, which was described as one of the worst matches of the World Cup by several media outlets, including Sky Sports and The Athletic.
"Look, you can’t make everyone happy can you," Hrustic said. "If it’s one of the worst games for them, fair enough, but we got our job done and that’s what counts, right?"
The Socceroos are now preparing for their Round of 32 match against Egypt, scheduled for Friday at 1pm local time in Dallas. The team will face high temperatures, but Hrustic believes their experience in air-conditioned stadiums in Qatar will help them adapt.
