Aussies win  :clapping puts us into second spot in the group. At least a draw against Denmark will get us into the knockout stage  :o.

Group D     Pts
France        6
Australia     3
Denmark    1
Tunisia       1

Upsets galore. Morocco knocked off Belgium :o and Costa Rica (after being flogged by Spain 0-7) with just one shot beat Japan who had just beaten Germany.

Been a knocker of Arnie but bloody oath the last 2 games have been a joy to watch. Can't wait to see us in the last 16

Yep. Just wanted Arnold to have us playing with a positive proactive mentality and not just sit back. We did it against Peru and qualified. We did in the last two games and we got through. Sure we rode our luck (first 25 mins tonight was error ridden) but we deserve to be in the final 16 knockout stage. Well done Socceroos  :veryhappy :highclap.

We play the Winner of Group C. Either Poland, Argentina or Saudi Arabia. Poland plays Argentina and the Saudis play Mexico. We'll know at 8am today.

Argentina it is

Will confess haven't been following it as soccer bores me senseless

But hard not to know what has happened.

So much joy on social media

1993 revisited.

Sunday morning at 6am [our time] so at least it's not the middle of the night.

They aren't the most talented team but this current crop of Socceroos sure are cluey lol.

Classy by Eriksen to do this after a loss by the way  :clapping.

That lucky deflection goal to Goodwin makes up for the brainfade goal we gave away. Can we do the reverse of the Iran 1997 game and get another to equalise in the last 10 mins?

Lost 1-2. Fought hard but outclassed especially by Messi who ran the show. Our ordinary technical skills cost us and I'm not talking about Matty Ryan's error. Lack of one touch by our field players denies us possession and control of the ball as well as causing unnecessary turnovers which gifts possession to the opposition. As much as this Socceroos team got the most out of themselves in this World Cup, we're not going to improve as a national team into the future if those that run the sport are satisfied with another brave effort.   

ps. Good to see Kuol get a run. Almost the hero too.

Overachieved enormously. Barely expected them to get a point in the group stage and they managed to qualify for the KO stage and go down by 1 goal to one of the favs for the whole thing. Also managed to score against both France and Argentina.

Same here TK. Didn't see us winning a game once Boyle was injured. Instead, we ended up winning two games and scoring in all four matches.

The memo about being gracious in victory was missed here.
