Subpar showing in defeat
O'Neill recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Friday's 2-0 defeat versus USA. He also added two interceptions and two clearances.
Analysis: O'Neill was unable to leave his mark in midfield, but that wasn't surprising since he was a holding midfielder who looked overmatched against superior players. O'Neill, who has tallied seven clearances, four crosses, three corners and two interceptions in two World Cup starts, should remain a low-end fantasy option due to his holding role in the Socceroos' midfield.
Makes World Cup debut
O'Neill registered three crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Turkey.
Analysis: O'Neill completed the full 90 minutes in Australia's 2-0 victory over Turkey, contributing five clearances and a chance created while completing 84 percent of his passes. Operating at the base of Australia's midfield, he played an important role in shielding the back line and disrupting Turkey's attempts to play through central areas. His performance highlighted the stability he brings to the side. He also displayed an amazing workrate and covered almost 12 kilometres in the game.
