Never in my wildest dream did I think Australia would make it out of this group. Especially since many had through Denmark would not only make it out of the group with France but even go far. And wow what a goal it was that Australia scored, the way he tricked the defender twice.


All the best Australia , now if you can just beat Argentina, I will forever be appreciative!

Been almost 24 hours and I am still in shock. I told everyone, "Australia will not score a goal at the world cup. It is the worst team we have ever had". In all matches, we scored the opening goal which is rare for Australia. It was poetic justice though. Denmark was more interested in gay rights than playing football. Australia's squad was not exactly innocent and came out with a propaganda video of their own but have behaved themselves in Qatar.

2 of the 3 goal scorers play in the A League and Mitch Duke only just recently left the A League. Despite not playing for big European clubs like our golden generation did, this squad has the fighting spirit thjat all Australian teams of all sports have. They don't feel intimidated by the reputation of the opposition and that has gotten "the worst ever Australian team" into the second round. And they did it with 2 wins and 2 clean sheets. Our golden generation of 2006 won just 1 match in 2006 and 1 match in 2010. Never achieved a clean sheet.
 
Yes amazing that they didn’t just qualify but were always the first to score.

Actually, I know this is too much to ask but imagine if France had somehow managed to get a tie vs France, they would come too of the group and now would be playing Poland in second round!
 
That loss to France was probably the best thing to happen to Australia. It taught them not to defend if they score first and to continue the pressure against the other team.
