Mo Touré: the Socceroos' Ter-Mo-Nator ready for his World Cup moment

Mohamed Touré steps onto the World Cup stage carrying a nickname that says it all, the "Ter-Mo-Nator", but the Socceroos striker wants you to know there is more to him than power and pace. The 22-year-old, set for his first World Cup, has spoken openly about wanting to be seen as a "good person" above everything else, a reflection of a grounded character shaped well beyond the pitch (1). Touré's rise comes at a moment when the Australian camp is dialled in, with the squad brushing off external noise, including Connor Metcalfe's sharp response to Alexi Lalas branding the Socceroos "average", and focused squarely on the tournament ahead.
