Hello everyone and welcome to ABC Sport’s online coverage of the Socceroos vs Venezuela in Houston, Texas.
It is the first time Australia has played South American opposition in more than two years — and with World Cup seeding on the line, this is an international friendly with a little extra meaning.

My name’s Henry Hanson and I’ll be here to guide you through every moment of the action.
