The US/Australia match is going to be interesting. From everything I saw, the Aussies played 5 in the back against Turkiye. The Aussies were loading up the box and Turkiye was struggling to figure out how to break it. The Aussies even had their mid pretty deep on defense. Both Aussie goals came of counters when the Turks had trouble getting back. Turkiye for their part got unlucky with a shot hitting the post and the Aussie GK making a great save.
For whatever reason when Turkiye got behind and late in the match, they still didn't get numbers up in the box so Australia with the loaded box was able to defend them quite easily, although even with the numbers Turkiye still generated some good chances late.
If the US can break through early and force Australia out of their defensive position, then it could be a rout. The biggest thing for the US is to not get frustrated and allow Australia to counterattack. They need to just keep pounding until a goal happens.
