@bbcsport: “A few minutes later I scored Australia’s first ever World Cup goal” 🇦🇺 ⚽️ #worldcup #socceroos #cahill #rooney

alextalkseverything :

Honestly pretty average player but Australia never had a big bar to measure from.

Rosenbaum :

so arrogant

tyler nich0las. :

wait.... Tim Cahill is a grandfather????

maxchestertonj :

“but that was the gaffer”

_sedders97_ :

marrce406 :

It was a bizarre decision to bench him. Cahill was a very good player.

mechev :

Bro thinks he’s R9 or CR7 or Messi or Ronaldinho or Zidane etc etc

kk :

This was an anti flex

i8thelastcookie2025 :

This story sucks…my favorite sporting moment of all time but to hear that Tim Cahill didn’t put his feelings aside in that moment and be so unforgiving? That’s arrogance

Tänkadin :

Ignorant people will say it's arrogance. Intelligent people will say it's confidence

Max Baird276 :

Takes a proper player to understand it after

Legless ablebody :

so your not coachable?

pbdfan4 :

Tell popovich not to bench irankunda & metcalfe

Osc :

huh that’s why irankunda benched huh?

krusie :

It's all about him.... we get it

H2GO :

I dare say Irakunda Metcalfe and even Volpato may be thinking the same with Popovic. Being a Manager is always easier from our arm chairs.

Ryan :

Only jump I’ve ever seen as high as high relative to his was Giampaolo Pazzini. I’ve never seen players jump so high in my life.

Claudia :

I’m still stuck on he’s a grandfather😱😳

njc1807 :

Cahill was a class player

Josh Tyrrell :

Future Everton manager 💙

stafordnieass :

A bit rude

nobody :

remember a coaches job is to create that hunger. the bench is the best way to get another 50% out of a determined player if used wisely.

Jorda :

Shouldn’t take being a grandfather for a player to understand a manager is also trying to win

ACEE1 :

How come soccer coach put the two best striker on bench against USA ? I swear to god they all corrupted.

loolah :

Tim Cahill was CLASS and I wouldn't blame him even though Hiddinik was very good.
