We've got a number 14, too, right? I mean, that's just a number for a substitute? |

These are now KO matches.
USA must win to get through. So must Denmark.

USA did. Denmark didn't.

Both the Duke and Leckie goals were high quality starting from the back.

Looking forward to the Argentina match. |
Yep. What a nice surprise (from low pre-tournament expectations) to get to the KO stage. OTOH not a surprise for me from pre-Denmark expectations... But I was counting on a draw being enough! Not on France fielding a 2nd team and losing. |

Spain 1-1 Germany.

The commentator said Spain & Germany are both "works in progress". They had their moments... |
Wowee... Spain 1-2 Japan. But the real pain was felt by Germany, who 'cos of Spain's loss were knocked out. And it was Spain's FTBing v. Costa Rica & huge GD that got them safely through.
Huge shocks in all 3 of Japan's matches (wins v. Germany & Spain, loss v. Costa Rica). If Spain have been like flat-track bully Smith, Japan have been like Pakistan??
Huge controversy about the leadup to Japan's 2nd goal, i.e. whether the ball was over the line (out of play). VAR said it wasn't. From what I saw, I agree with VAR. Not all of the ball was over the line. But don't they have microchips in the ball?? That was supposed to fix whether it crossed the goal line. |

I was also at the infamous Iran qualifier in I think 97 at the MCG when Australia were cruising something like 3-0 and a serial streaker disrupted the game by swinging on the cross bar, after which the Socceroos collapsed and were beaten on the away goals rule!
Have I mentioned the one where I watched a game near a castle in the south of Germany at the 2006 WC? We watched Australia vs. Japan at a pub near a famous castle, the name of which I forget, and an entire bus load of Japanese tourists arrived to do the same. Timmy Cahill scored a brace and boy did I let them know it. I was lucky to get out alive!
The only actual WC game I've seen live was Germany vs. Paraguay on Jeju Island at the Korea/Japan WC in 2002.
2026 might be a good chance to visit Canada, I reckon, avoiding the dangerous third-world hosts to the south! |
You've been around the block, PTID
My first proper Socceroos memory is when we played France in a friendly at the MCG and then Uruguay over two legs to try and qualify for the 2002 World Cup.
I was just a bit too young to remember 1997, but everyone I know says they couldn't believe we missed out against Iran. We were dominating until the serial streaker interrupted our momentum.
In the lead up to the 2006 World Cup, I remember attending a friendly match against Greece at the MCG on a Thursday night. 95,000 people attended that night.
I'm quite invested in this team because an old school peer of mine (Jackson Irvine) is a regular in the Socceroos team. Seeing him play at the highest level is surreal to me. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

^Nice. I think that Iran game was also in the 90,000s. Incredible atmosphere.
I can tell you, you won't regret planning now for 2026 in North America. Soccer is obviously not huge there, but it's an easy destination and a good tourism spot, so millions will head there. The party atmosphere is incredible. It's a bonus if the Socceroos make it, but you'll still love it even if not.
Qatar is obviously the wrong kind of destination for a month-long party, but the two I've been to, Korea and Germany, were mad.
But for 2026, you'll have the pick of Canada, the US and Mexico, or all three, in a single trip. _________________ In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

I'm very sad. That second goal, now, was just embarrassing. The sort of garbage you see from defenders in the EPL. |

No shame in that. Happy to make them nervous at the end and for Messi to score against them. _________________ In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

Lucky for us we didn't get through. Argentina has Messi surrounded by a lot of average players. The Dutch have about 15 guns in their squad. The USA were probably relieved not to have had 5 or 6 put past them - but Depay isn't quite match-fit, yet. |

Media heat on Cahill:
Why Tim Cahill has cast an awkward shadow over Socceroosโ Qatar success
https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/why-tim-cahill-has-cast-an-awkward-shadow-over-socceroos-qatar-success-20221206-p5c3x8.html
"Now 42, Cahill is the chief sports officer at the Aspire Academy, the glistening $1.3 billion facility where the Socceroos spent almost every second of their visit to Doha... The reality is they wouldnโt have got in there without Cahill.
Other teams stayed in hotels and bussed to training grounds, while Graham Arnold and his players got to do everything in the same location: eat, sleep, train, repeat. ...
It was also adjacent to the high-tech Aspetar sports medicine hospital, one of the most advanced of its kind in the world, where Australia took their increasingly important recovery sessions. It almost certainly handed the Socceroos an edge in high-performance, which you could see in their 2-1 defeat to Argentina - it was basically the same starting XI that Arnold had rolled out in every match, and having played only 76 hours earlier, they should have been gassed. But they werenโt, and took Lionel Messiโs men to the wire.
...
tโs a topic they truly care about so it must have been raised at some point, although itโs easy to understand why Cahill could have been avoiding the conversation: he is a paid-up ambassador of the Qatarโs Supreme Committee of Delivery & Legacy, the government arm tasked with organising the World Cup and named like some sort of villainous organisation seeking to assassinate James Bond." |

Well, well... England still in it. (England 3-0 Senegal.) But Spain out. (Spain 0 (0)- 0 (3) Morocco.) Shocking penalty shootouts from Spain and Japan. (Croatia 1 (3)-1 (1) Japan.)
And now Portugal's turn to shorten after a big win.
Portugal 6-1 Switzerland.
Again... Are they the real deal? Or just Steve Smith-like flat-track bullies? They've got an "easy" game next against Morocco. France or England if they win that. |
