Teen Star Herrington Shines in World Cup Debut

Eighteen-year-old Lucas Herrington just shattered records—becoming the youngest-ever MLS and Socceroos player to start a World Cup match, helping Australia snag a spot in the knockout rounds with a gritty 0-0 draw against Paraguay. Playing every minute for Colorado Rapids, Herrington’s dazzling debut—complete with a clean sheet—has European clubs buzzing and solidified his status as MLS’s brightest young star. The Socceroos, now headed to the Round of 32 for the third time in history, face Group G’s second-place team on July 3rd, building on past triumphs in 2006 and 2022. Meanwhile, Paraguay, also with four points, still hold a wild-card chance to advance as the best third-place team.
