Mediocre performance. But it'll do.

Leckie's goal all class.

[otto62]

Blooody French.
Scored their equaliser with 10 seconds to go.

Tears of joy!

Leckie's goal all class.

You’re kidding aren’t you?
Defended well while the Danes were on top.
Hit them on the counterattack.
Reduced the world number 10 team to lumping it into the box for the last 10 minutes.
Personally, before the game I couldn’t have asked for more.

Denmark were terrible overall. Started well, but gave up after 20 minutes.

It should have been a multiple goal thrashing in the end.

Can I please have Poland and Argentina draw, and Saudi beat Mexico.
That would mean we play the Saudis in our Round of 16 game on Sunday.

Saudi Arabia 1-2 Mexico

Poland 0-2 Argentina

Final score.

Argentina and Poland are through to the last 16

Argentina it is.

Spirit of 1988 please boys.

Graham Arnold played in that game... there's surely some cosmic power at work somewhere that's working in our favour.

Australia’s only win over Argentina in seven meetings (D1 L5) was back in July 1988 in the Australia Bicentenary Gold Cup, winning 4-1 with goals from Paul Wade, Charlie Yankos (x2) and Vlado Bozinoski. Current manager Graham Arnold also played in the match for the Socceroos.

What a game.
The Charlie Yankos goal was worth the entry ticket alone.

This is the stuff we miss because SBS decides that Australian matches need mediocre parochialism and barracking instead of actual commentary.
