Program: The Socceroos ready for Trump’s America

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

You only had to watch the draw to know this World Cup will exist in the president's shadow. A 'peace prize' for Donald Trump presented by FIFA boss Gianni Infantino. The Village People, Heidi KIum, Kevin Hart and Shaquille O'Neal. The World Cup draw gave us the sense that the 2026 tournament might be an unusual edition.  The Socceroos have drawn Trump's America and will be relishing the challenge of a big opponent on a bigger stage. Featured: Craig Foster, ex-Socceroo and football broadcaster.
