Episode Details

Eighteen-year-old MLS defender Lucas Herrington, fresh off a breakout season with Colorado Rapids, has earned his first World Cup call-up for Australia’s Socceroos — a major milestone for the young Aussie who’s already scored and assisted in 15 games since joining the Rapids in January. Making his debut for Australia in March, Herrington’s standout performances against Cameroon and Curaçao sealed his spot on the squad, which also features other MLS stars. The Socceroos, drawn into Group D with the U.S., Paraguay, and Türkiye, kick off June 14th against Türkiye — and with the expanded 48-team format, Australia’s path to the knockout rounds looks promising. For Herrington, this is his first World Cup — and a dream come true for a defender who’s already rewriting expectations.
