Faster than Mbappe… the “Australian rocket” threatens the defense of the Egyptian national team on the decisive night.

As the crucial clash between Egypt and Australia approaches in the 2026 World Cup round of 32, one name stands out in the Kangaroos camp as a potential defensive nightmare for the Pharaohs: Jordan Boss… a flying winger who outplayed Mbappe and Holland.

According to the data FIFA Officially, Bos clocked a top speed of 36.7 kilometers per hour in Australia’s opening 2-0 win over Turkey, putting him at the top of the fastest players in the first leg of the group stage, ahead of established speed stars such as Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and Miki van de Ven.

Now the 23-year-old is set to become Australia’s most dangerous weapon when they take on Mohamed Salah’s side at the air-conditioned Dallas Cowboys Stadium on Friday.

A match that cannot be divided into two, because both teams have never won a qualifying match in the history of the World Cup, and the biggest prize is a possible match with Argentina led by Messi in the round of 16.

In Australia, Boss is no longer just a ‘promising talent’. His move to Dutch side Feyenoord last summer revealed his potential as an attacking full-back as he scored 4 goals and provided 9 assists in his first season in the Dutch league.

Boss played in all three of Australia’s group stage matches, leading his country to a second-place finish behind the United States and qualifying to face Egypt. After playing at left-back against Turkey, coach Tony Popovich showed the player’s versatility by fielding him as a right-winger at the end of the group stage against Paraguay, confirming that his speed is not his only weapon.
