      It's unfortunate that Australians make fun of it. Vive Dios que festejare los goles de Francia y Dinamarca. The socceroos will be eliminated in the first round of the world cup. Nos volveremos a encontrar de nuevo Australianos. VIVA EL PERU🇵🇪

      I doubt that funny dance by the keeper worked. What sort of s plan is that???
      Pen is a gamble. It hardly has anything to do with skill and mostly to do with luck.

      Never mind projecting the image of Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke onto the Queens tower, (Big ben being the bell,right),which was both brilliant and hilarious, despite the wankers of westminster council objecting, the whole fantastic Socceroos team should be projected onto Buck palace, I really couldn't see Her Majesty objecting too much, especially as some
      Australians were very kind to her a few decades ago..bugger..now I have two teams to support in the world cup..

      The Peruvian team didn't take the game seriously. Simple as that.
      The players traveled with their friends, wives and kids. Celebrating before even playing the game.
      Congrats to Australia. You guys deserved it.

      Well executed plan, all the best to the Aussie team in Qatar. This happens for counting our chickens before they hatch. Peru lost when the clock struck 90 minutes of play. Our guru sport-journalists in Peru, inflated our players to Superstardom when none of them actually play on elite teams but in leagues nobody watches except their friends and family, e.g.: Saudi Arabia, MEX, Sweden, Peru.

      Against France rank4 Denmark rank9 against Tunesia rank30 Australia rank42
      France and Denmark will likely take that group.
      Denmark just knackered France ego' on their home Stade De France with all their top-tier world champ players a week ago, where Denmark won 2-1 in the nations league top tier A group.. though Denmark also superb topping that group. in front of Croatia, France, and Austria.
      not bad for the oldest kingdom & flag on the globe with only 5.7 Mio people and an Aussie queen to be… crown princess Mary (Hobart AU).

      I’m Brazilian- Australia goalkeeper sheet- The player taking the penalty kick must kick the ball forward; backheeling is permitted provided the ball moves forward. When the ball is kicked, the defending goalkeeper must have at least part of one foot touching, in line with, or behind, the goal line. The ball is in play when it is kicked and clearly moves.

      I'm English living in Australia and I'm so thrilled and excited you Aussies made it! Not just because it will make the WC better whilst I'm in aus but it's also brilliant to see an underdog win. I'm going to be watching and supporting the Aussies on all there games. Should the eng v aus fixture arrive that's where I end my Aussie support tho 😂 good luck the socceroos
