FC St. Pauli has two important players, Jackson Irvine and Connor Metcalfe, who are playing for Australia at the World Cup. Both players will face off against hosts USA, which is not just about World Cup points, but also about prestige. US experts have strongly criticized Australia in recent months, which led to an emotional outburst from Connor Metcalfe. Metcalfe had had enough of the US media talking down Australia's chances and said that all this talk was just nonsense. Against Switzerland, Metcalfe had prepared the equalizer and in the first World Cup match against Turkey, he had scored the goal to make it 2-0. German referee Felix Zwayer will officiate the match between Australia and the USA, which is not a good omen for the two St. Pauli players. Of the last nine games under his leadership, St. Pauli has only won one. The match between Australia and the USA will take place on Friday at 21:00.
