Australia Draws 0-0 With Paraguay and Advances to World Cup Round of 32

Australia drew 0-0 with Paraguay and advanced to the round of 32 at the World Cup. Abc reported that the Socceroos secured progression despite failing to score. Jordy Bos started at right back rather than his preferred left back position.

He created the most scoring chances, took the most shots and completed the most dribbles while pairing with Cristian Volpato on the right side, Abc reported. Nestory Irankunda said after the match, "He's the best player in the world, Jordy Bos. " Irankunda added that Bos performed well at right back, pushed high up the pitch and showed what he can do with the ball.

Bos said he tried his hardest to score but did not. "I think I could have scored a couple, but I think from now on if everyone puts their best foot forward and we get chances, we just have to finish it," he said. " Lucas Herrington started at age 18 and became the youngest Australian to start a World Cup game, taking the record from teammate Irankunda.

Herrington said his main focus remained on the tournament and that he wanted to help the team as much as possible. Herrington waited on the bench for Australia's first two matches before making his start. He said it was in a young player's interest to watch and observe early games and that he was grateful for the opportunity against Paraguay.
