Kuol Discusses World Cup Debut As He Vows To Continue Working Hard



Garang Kuol made his World Cup debut in Australia’s 4-1 defeat against France last night. The 18-year-old came on for lone Aussie goalscorer Craig Goodwin in the 73rd minute.

The appearance was Kuol’s 2nd cap for the Socceroos. He made his debut against Chris Wood and New Zealand during the September international break. In entering the match last night, Kuol became the 9th youngest player in World Cup history.

France’s dominance after Australia took the early lead continued after Kuol’s entrance. France were pushing for more goals which meant little joy for the teenager up front with few touches.

After the match, Kuol spoke to CodeSports about his experience. The Shields Gazette has published the following from the young attacker.

“To see six-foot-four people as quick as me just shows the big difference between me and some of those players. Only hard work is going to mean making it to that level. Good to get that taste.

“It felt pretty long chasing France around! When I came on I was just excited to show what I can do. I think it’s something I need to look at with the coaches to see how I can get on the ball more.”

Next up for the Aussies is Tunisia, who battled Denmark to a scoreless draw yesterday. Hopefully, Garang will get another opportunity to shine this Saturday. While his debut was frustrating, it’ll be a valuable learning experience.

Kuol was also asked about his pending move to Newcastle United in January. He revealed that he continues to receive a lot of support from the Toon army. He even stated that he wears black and white shoes in support of his future club.

It also looks like Harry Kane’s scan on his ankle has shown no damage according to multiple reports. England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford also revealed that Kane took part in today’s session ahead of Friday’s match against the USA.

    Wow,
    I’d read/heard about that Herdman and the football he had these playing, it’s not wrong, they look excellent, only lacking in quality up top which is surprising given what we’ve heard about that Johnathon David.

    I did it last time and proved what you say is not true, your turn Coming Home.

    I am certain I have never called anyone a cnut or claimed people to be on some side in some weird random group that I made up.

    I think most know I don’t typically post “bitchy stuff” but I am decent at defending myself. To be fair it is not a challenging task, it is easy to refute total nonsense.

    Taco

    I called you a disgrace after your post that for no reason jumped on a poster getting slagged off
    Maybe you should check that post
    It’s just my opinion but your a disgrace
    I like people who just defend their opinion not defend an opinion that is from a bitch who starts trouble on a blog
