The Socceroos<\/a>\u2032 Round of 32 campaign was hit by a devastating injury blow in the final moments of the first half against Egypt, with star player Jordy Bos carried off the Dallas Stadium pitch with a suspected knee injury.<\/p>\n

Bos went down in agony just before the half-time whistle, clutching his knee following a heavy challenge with Egypt\u2019s Ramy Rabia. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jordy Bos was down for several minutes. \u00a0SBS<\/p>\n

The injury forced an immediate substitution for the second half from head coach Tony Popovic<\/a>, with Kai Trewin brought on to replace the influential playmaker. <\/p>\n

It shaped as a massive setback for an Australian side reliant on Bos\u2019 drive, Socceroos assistant coach Paul Okon slamming the officiating at half-time.<\/p>\n

\u201cTerrible tackle. From what we understand the referee played advantage, but he (didn\u2019t) come back and book the player,\u201d he said on SBS. <\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, disappointing, but we\u2019ve got to move on and be better in the second half.\u201d<\/p>\n

Okon was equally frustrated by the nature of Egypt\u2019s early goal, which gave them a 1-0 lead at the break. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re disappointed we gave away a cheap goal from set pieces. Normally, we pride ourselves on that,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think we were a little bit late getting out. Maybe kept him onside but I think for us, it\u2019s about keeping the ball. <\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we get to five, six, seven passes, we seem to find pockets of space and if we can do that better in the second half, I\u2019ve got no doubt we\u2019ll create more opportunities for us.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Socceroos\u2032 Round of 32 campaign was hit by a devastating injury blow in the final moments of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":777234,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-777233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=777233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777233\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/777234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=777233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=777233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=777233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
