USA v Australia

USA v Australia (Kick-off 8.00pm). Gabby Logan presents coverage of the Group D match at Seattle Stadium in the USA. These nations have faced each other on four previous occasions, but this is the first competitive fixture between the two, with all others being friendlies. The most recent of those games took place in Colorado last October, and saw the Americans dominate possession and eventually triumph 2-1, bringing an end to a 12-match unbeaten run for the Socceroos, in what was also a first defeat for Tony Popovic as coach. Both teams reached the knockout stage in Qatar four years ago but failed to make it further than the last-16, with the USA eliminated by the Netherlands following a 3-1 defeat, and Australia suffering a narrow 2-1 loss to eventual champions Argentina. With analysis from Olivier Giroud, Wayne Rooney and Theo Walcott
