Socceroos qualify for 2026 FIFA World Cup

Socceroos captain Mat Ryan's 'fairytale' came true after celebrating his 100th appearance for Australia with FIFA World Cup qualification. The Socceroos beat Saudi Arabia 2-1 in Jeddah on Wednesday morning (AEST) to ensure Australia would take part in a sixth successive World Cup next year in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Australians only needed to avoid a five-goal defeat to seal qualification, but were intent on producing a winning performance in the steamy conditions. And despite going behind in the 19th minute through a goal from Abdulrahman Al-Aboud, the Socceroos weren't going to be denied a win, with midfielder Connor Metcalfe and striker Mitch Duke scoring either side of half-time to give Australia the advantage. And then, fittingly, it was left to skipper and goalkeeper Ryan to provide the icing on the cake late in the match when he saved a penalty from Saudi winger Salem Al-Dawsari to ensure the Socceroos would not only qualify for the World Cup but also win the match. 'Fairytales come true,' an emotional Ryan said. '(But) any cap number that it is than an individual gets is a special one. The jersey, the team and the nation deserves that whoever it is taking that opportunity, that they give everything that they've got and try to produce for the nation in that moment. 'That's my motivation each day, to try to get as many successful moments in this shirt as possible, and if I'm not on the pitch then I try to help from the sideline, and I try to help day to day on the training pitch.' Ryan paid tribute to the entire Socceroos camp – including players, coach Tony Popovic, the rest of the coaching staff and the support sport – for helping Australia reach another World Cup. The experienced gloveman also thanked previous Socceroos coach Graham Arnold, who resigned from the job after Australia had only picked up one point from its opening two games in the third round of AFC qualifiers following a successful round-two campaign of six wins from as many matches. . 'He (Arnold) began this campaign, and we had a lot of success with him also,' Ryan said. 'Without that, this moment wouldn't be possible. 'The journey that we went on to get here. I'm just so proud of everyone. A big thank you for all their efforts … the dedication, the sacrifice.' Popovic said Ryan's career 'speaks for itself' and that there was a 'lot more' for the 33-year-old custodian to achieve. 'It's day he'll never forget,' the Socceroos coach said. 'Qualifying for this win, saving a penalty – it's a special moment.'

Day makes friends as Australians start US Open quest

Jason Day might have some extra support at Oakmount when he plays in this week's US Open after playing a practice round bedecked a pair of red, white and blue American flag shorts. To complete the patriotic all-American look, the flamboyant Queenslander sported a quarter-zip jacket that featured a blue and white star-lined collar. Day is one of six Australians in the event, with their challenge to be led off by Adam Scott when the 125th US Open starts just outside Pittsburgh on Thursday. Scott will tee off at 7.18 am local time (2118 AEST) alongside Sweden's Ludvig Aberg and Hideki Matsuyama, of Japan. The veteran's best finish was a tie for fourth in 2015, two shots adrift of winner Jordan Speith. Cam Smith, who also tied fourth in 2015, a finish he repeated in 2023, is another early starter paired with fellow former British Open winner Brian Harman and LIV Golf colleague Phil Mickelson, who still needs this major to complete a grand slam. Smith goes off at 8.02 (2202 AEST) from the 10th, just as Cam Davis is teeing off at the first. He is with American Davis Thompson and Thomas Detry of Belgium. Day, Min Woo Lee and Marc Leishman start in the afternoon. Lee is in one of the higher-profile groups with major winners Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka, who won the US Open in 2017 and 2018. Matt Vogt, a former Oakmont caddie who now works as a dentist, but qualified as an amateur last week, will hit the opening tee shot at at 6.45 am local time. Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau is grouped with two-time major winner Xander Schauffele and reigning US Amateur champion Jose Luis Ballester, who recently joined DeChambeau on the LIV Golf circuit. World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, winner of last month's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, shares the tee box with two-time major winner and World No.4 Collin Morikawa and Norway's Viktor Hovland. World No.2 and 2025 Masters champ Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland will play with Ireland's Shane Lowry and England's Justin Rose. Rose (2013) and McIlroy (2011) are former US Open champions and Lowry tied for second in 2016 - the last time the event was held at Oakmont, when Dustin Johnson won. He is grouped with Spieth and 2021 champion Jon Rahm of Spain. US Open: selected tee times First hole - 10th hole (Thursday/Friday unless stated). All Times AEST 2129 & 0314 (Sat): Xander Schauffele (US), Jose Luis Ballester (Spain), Bryson DeChambeau (US). 2202 & 0347 (Sat): Cam Davis (Australia), Davis Thompson (US), Thomas Detry (Belgium). 0303 (Fri) & 2118: Min Woo Lee (Australia), Justin Thomas (US), Brooks Koepka (US). 0325 (Fri) & 2140: Viktor Hovland (Norway), Collin Morikawa (US), Scottie Scheffler (US). 0336 (Fri) & 2151: Corey Conners (Canada), Jason Day (Australia), Patrick Reed (US). 10th hole & first hole (Thursday/Friday unless stated) 2118 & 0303 (Sat): Ludvig Aberg (Sweden), Adam Scott (Australia), Hideki Matsuyama, (Japan). 2140 & 0325 (Sat): Shane Lowry (Ireland), Justin Rose (England), Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland). 2202 & 0347(Sat): Cameron Smith (Australia), Brian Harman (US), Phil Mickelson (US). 0314 (Fri) & 2129: Jordan Spieth (US), Jon Rahm (Spain), Dustin Johnson (US). 0358 (Fri) & 2213: Marc Leishman (Australia), Aaron Rai (England), Nick Dunlap (US). with agencies
