The Kangaroos and NRL to keep a watch on Australian soccer and its media. They seem to be on subtle move towards appropriating 'kangaroo' and 'football kangaroos'.

Wales were in the same group as England, so that answers the question. Quite a few players who play for the other countries may well be English (and vice versa) but are eligible to play for another country due to the parent/grandparent rule (sound familiar?) A UK/GB team isn't a thing except during the Olympics and then there's usually in-fighting from the different factions around which players are selected etc
Did better than a draw. 1-0 Australia. Leckies goal was bloody brilliant. The lead up was just as good. Into the 16. Not many saw that coming.
Especially since France rested basically everyone against Tunisia which lead to a 1-0 win by Tunisia.
So Australia really had to win and not get a draw.
Well done socceroos!

Big Harry's got your number Lionel.
Though there's a few other numbers we might need to get.
Regardless of the result, what a great effort from the Socceroos!

Mex v KSA
All to determine whether who goes through (out of Poland and Mexico)

The whole UK / GB thing confuses me a bit.
Some sports (Football, Union, League, etc) they complete as England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland. Others (Olympics, Tennis, Swimming) they compete as GB.
I googled, but could only see something about Football being governed by separate entities in these countries.
So maybe you can help me out - why does it vary between sports. And what would your preference be? Compete as GB or as separate countries?

At least we’re talking about the real world cup.Just got up after watching the game that was pure heart,as for the argentinian game they‘re vulnerable in defence you never know.
If they get up on Sunday against Argentina, Albo should call a public holiday on Monday.
So our 44 million dollar team up against some superstars went ok !!
Not a soccer fan , but good on them !!

Amazing scenes
I have been a massive football fan since long before we used to qualify with relative ease. I have seen very good teams get dumped out through bad luck or not due to their own actions.
To see a team that has played pretty poorly for a number of games get some results was something else. Very proud, surprised and hopeful for the game on Sunday

The goals we've scored have been brilliant. Aside from those 3 moments thpough it's just been effort on effort. It's like they don't care that they are outclassed, they are determined to win anyway!

Yes, it's always been an odd one, and I'm English, but when I lived there many, many years ago no one seems to query it or worry about it, unless you're Scottish or Welch that's just the way it is, I used to cheer for England in soccer, league, union, Comm games, and then the Brits in Olympics or touring Lions.
Suffice to say, neither did I.
Although I sat there in the wee hours watching and hoping.
Bloody amazing considering the quality in that Danish side.
No matter what happens now, it's been a wildly successful campaign.
Coming second in a group like that is just unreal.
We can play Argentina with absolutely nothing to lose. Absolutely awesome.
