Luis Chávez with a worldie in the Mexico-Saudi game too

Argentina aren't that good but we'll still need a superhuman performance.

Still, we've got way further than this squad had any right to expect. Imagine if we can convince Volpato to choose Oz on the back of this result. Could maybe build a team around Souttar, Volpato, McGree, Rowles, maybe Kuol. Add guys like Atkinson, King, Metcalfe, Devlin, Baccus... might have something.

Unfortunately Argentina are very good, they just killed Poland. Their attack is purring now.

Nah Poland were terrible in that one, Argentina not looking in any sort of form to me, but yeah we're definitely unlikely to beat them

They created some pretty nice chances from what I saw. But with the way we are playing anything is possible.

Lmao

Lmao

If we make the final it's 2am Monday morning you'd have to call it a public holiday.

I still can't believe we got through.

This group continues to defy expectations.

Harry Souttar is a beast.

 

[bergholt]

Lmao

Why the **** would he say “maybe”. We have zero chance of winning, just say “take the week off if we win”.

Morocco through to the knock-outs. Unbelievable.

Korea wins it at the death

 

[DougalHoward]

Got up early to watch today then realised it's Sunday

Never watched a full game of soccer before looking forward to it

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Anybody up?

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Hoping we can hold them out for at least a while at the start

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Geez, pretty tight, more than 15 minutes in and no one's even had a shot

 

[PoppedCorn]

Had more of the ball
But no one's done anything

 

[PoppedCorn]

Too easy

Australia are actually playing pretty well, especially defensively. Just need to work on getting the final pass right.

It’s a lot like our Saints and struggling to get a good inside 50 delivery.

Or we get inside and can’t finish also like the saints

I know it's a trope/stereotype but FMD, the diving and playing up for free kicks is so gross.

Imagine sticking these guys in and AFL or NRL game. They'd get eaten alive.

Sad that FIFA and the top world leagues allow this shit to keep festering because it's genuinely off putting.

 

[austinnn]

Interesting, the numbers on the Argentina shirts look like someone put them on with gaffa tape.

 

[PoppedCorn]

rabble

 

[L_W_P]

I'm no expert but passing to the keeper when he's 2 on 1 seemed a bad move...
