Great result. Made it hard for ourselves and endured an unbelievably difficult qualification process, but we're there and deservedly so.

This is the last WC before a huge change but just making it to the event is a massive achievement that should never be underestimated.

My Italian half is sad but my Australian half is doing the happy dance.

My Italian half is sad but my Australian half is doing the happy dance.

Still utter craziness that Italy can win Euro 2022 and still not qualify for the World Cup.

On topic, I'm still in awe of the absolute guts and bravery that it took to replace Ryan with Redgrave for the shoot out today even if they admit the decision was made well ahead of time.

The criticism and price they'd have copped had it not paid off would've been signigicant.

The ultimate example of fortune favoring the brave.

Boyle is a bigger out for Australia than Benzema is for France.

Benzema out will rattle the French.

No chance in hell.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

No chance in hell.

I won't be betting on it!

So instead of winning 3-0 they'll win 3-1?

Brave of you.
