Jordan Bos smiles, wide like his position, at a world that appears to come easily. The Socceroos’ left full-back is sitting behind the microphones inside an auditorium within a sprawling training facility in Oakland. Its walls are still adorned by images of the Raiders, the NFL team who left for Las Vegas six years ago – before Bos had even played his first professional match.
The Australian’s career has moved swiftly towards this moment: a World Cup debut for the Socceroos’ not-so-secret weapon. “I just have to soak up the experience and just play football,” Bos says. “It’s kind of hard to ‘feel’ the moment as it is now, but I think afterwards I’ll really understand the experience that I’m in now.”
