      Every world cup the times of majority of the games in Australia seem to start around in the dead of night from midnight to dawn. Imagine if games were at a reasonable hour in Australia, like hours when people are usually awake. It would go a long way to promote the game which has been suffering greatly for promotion against other more publicised sports.

      I think a lot of our success in this tournament is due to being more experienced at playing in Qatar, three of our world cup qualifier home games were played there due to covid, as well as the two playoff matches. We're effectively the second home side here.

      I was really hoping we'd be facing Poland in the next round, as a European side would likely be less acclimatised to these kind of conditions compared to a South American side, but Argentina is who we've been given and I back us to put up a good fight!

      Aussies are riding on the luck. Against Tunisia and Denmark in the first half they were no where near to be deserveing 2nd place holder. But, they managed to do that and that says a lot

      Aussie Rules way bigger than Rugby which is only big in New South Wales and Queensland.
      Soccer is still well behind except within the Italian, Greek etc communities.
      Has grown but sadly many academy programs have been set up and the poorer families can't afford it and generally the rich kids have had it too easy and don't make it

      As an Australian, football fan I cried when we qualified for the round of 16. Everyone said we will come last and a lot of people said we couldn't even qualify for the world cup. We always go down fighting, it's the fighting spirit.

      This bs mythology of sport uniting Australia. Beyond white males, the vast majority of society doesn’t give a stuff about Australias performance in the World Cup. Or even know the World Cup is on. More media nonsense.

      Cricket isn't as big as football for sure in Australia !! Yeah AFL and NFL is on top spot for sure, but after that it's definitely Football !! Sunday league goes all around Australia !!

      Think about Football (soccer) is not even the third most popular winter sport in Australia. It’s in fact fifth behind Australian Rules, Rugby League, Rugby Union and Basketball. Imagine how good Australia would be if it was major football code in the country

      Love how she says "and aussie rules to an extent" when that is the number one sport in Australia and the 4th highest attended sport in the world lol. Saying this as also a football fan, can not wait for Australia v Argentina and also waiting for domestic football Brisbane Roar to return plus Arsenal.

      The problem with football in Australia is its considered a sport followed by fans who carry a lot of emotional baggage from thier country of origin including 2nd generation aussie. People who follow rugby union, league, aussie rules, cricket just follow the sport because they love it. In football, you turn up to a game and there always rival ethnic groups just wanting to clash because thier ancestors had that beef so they decide to carry it with pride even in 2022. Even Australian born fans who never been to thier parents/grandparents homelands walk around like they the got a score to settle against another ethnic group. So lame and stupid. I mean your parents/grandparents worked thier asses off to leave thier homelands to make a better life in Ausralia, yet these idiots want to relive it for some reason.

      Futball is not the #1 sport in Korea as well. Plus we are not as sports obssessed as Aussies are, and lack a modern athletic tradition, and athletics are not popular. Hopefully that changes and we encourage more youngsters to get involved in sports.

      congrats Australia! you are much better than you think you are! much intelligent, popular, and sports spirit than AFL…. very proud of you mate!

      This one made up for that BS Italy penalty back in the day. Sat there at fed square then and dexlcided to go early for this one too.

      Althought we didnt win it was good to see us able to go out on our own terms. Not from some dude taking a dive
