Iran almost took it in the end. You gotta make those shots and it just hit the outside of the net. Great drama, this World Cup has been fantastic.

I’d like to see Australia advance, but I dont see France beating Denmark by enough to make it happen, even if Australia win. I think Nigeria is going to put Argentina out of their misery today, which will suck, because I picked them on my bracket to make the final.

I think Australia have it really tough to get through I actually think Peru will beat Australia.
Surely Argentina have enough quality to be able to beat Nigeria? I think Argentina will have just enough to scrape through & play France in the last 16

Given Australia recent World Cup Finals record, a defeat to Peru would not supprise me, if we didn’t bring on Cahill tonight with the game in the balance I’ll be shocked.
We havn’t scored an open play goal at the World Cup Finals in over 340mins. Not since the second group match of the 2014 finals vs Netherlands 
(Cahill 21min).
Our last world cup Victory was at the 2010 World Cup Finals, third group match 2-1 vs Serbia 
. Where we finished 3rd in the group (& 4th in 2014 where we were winless).
Its midnight and I’m in need of sleep but hopefully we do well, C’mon you Socceroos!

At the very least I expected was for Australia to fight for second place. Disappointing to see that they are already 2-0 down to Peru. money needs to be invested into Australia’s grass roots soccer academy’s around the country to ensure they are developing a better quality of players for the future.

Australia hasn’t scored in open play at World Cup Finals in 430mins. 1pt from the last 6 World Cup Finals matches. Finished 3rd in group (2010), 4th in group (2014), & 4th in group (2018). Conseeded early in all 3 group matches this year.
But investing money would help Football faces a number of issues in Australia, the fact their one of four major football codes (others being Australia Rules, Rugby League, & Rugby Union) where domestic club players get paid more then their domestic club football counterparts. The fact they closed the A.I.S. Program (A national government football academy program). The treatment of fans by the league, media, and police.
But mostly I’m disappointed. In 2015 we win the AFC Asian Cup on home soil, our first major trophy (sorry Oceania). I honestly thought all the bad luck of the “Witch Doctors Curse” was finally gone, but gees we couldn’t even beat Thailand in Qualifying. I hate Interim managers, same three sub’s every game except tonight where Cahill came on as Nabout was injured.
Congratulations Peru you just wanted it more.

Imagine Sweden - Switzerland in the next round. If so then the world finally will learn the difference. Or maybe the world will wonder how a country can play against itself
