Hopefully France can pump Denmark this morning and then all we need is a draw v Denmark in the final game to go through

 

[George]

Mbappe you beauty! Puts France ahead in the 87th minute - HUGE for our chances to advance.

 

[George]

Our highlights too btw

 

[George]

France hold on, too good.

Thursday at 2am AEDT we'll play Denmark in the final group game. A draw or win will see us advance to the knockout rounds.

As long as France draw or beat Tunisia, which you would think is 99% likely.

Yep, even if France play their subs too. All France have to play for is finishing in top spot in the group which gives them an easier first up knock-out game.

I hate soccer but this is an interesting take

So many upsets in this tournament so far lol, golden opportunity to win the whole thing for the team that has their shit together. Belgium were upset this morning against Morocco, crazy.

This Serbia-Cameroon game is a beauty

Korea and Ghana right now probably even better!

How good were they! Can tell we are in the thick of the tournament now with how much it meant to all four sides.

That third by Serbia was first class too.

Considering most nations have it all to play for heading in to this final match day we should see a few similar games where both need 3 points so will be going hammer and tong

2am AEDT tomorrow we've got Denmark in basically an eliminator. We need to draw to advance.

I know this is a terrible idea but I’m feeling strangely confident about this one. Someone talk me down.

Would be a kick in the guts to lose. Denmark need to win too. They are one of those teams that are just shit enough for us to believe we're a chance. Beatable.

 

[George]

Leckie puts us infront LOL, half an hour left to play

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Mat Ryan has been immense alongside SOUTTAR

 

[George]

Australia goes through for the first time since 2006 and second time in history. First time we've also won 2 consecutive games in the World Cup

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Absolute ****ing scenes! This is rarer than the saints making finals

 

[tomjoad]

Hahaha...you should've heard the commentary they have in Ireland, patronising and sneering until....oh wait, shit...this team just made the last 16 best teams in the world.
Hilarious.

 

[TheOsprey]

That’s amazing.

Denmark ranked 10th in the world and thanks to Tunisia beating France we had to get the win. Crazy.

‘It isn’t the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog’ is such a relevant phrase for Australia in these comps.

We will play Argentina in the Round of 16 on Sunday morning at 6am AEDT

Our boys look spent. We'll throw what we have left at them.

Argentina look beatable and if they take us lightly like they did to Saudi Arabia then who knows.
