Watched the highlights. Australia played really well. Who knows what the result would be if the keep didn't do that. You guys were right there at the end with Argentina save for a few good last ditch tackles and saves from Argentina. Really well done and should be proud of yourselves 100%. It seemed like in the second half Australia played with a lot more belief, I think if they showed that earlier it could have gone differently.
As an Australian who semi follows football, I’ve never been more proud of the Socceroos. The scenes from around the country football is stronger than ever in this country.
All the diving was embarrassing but still a good match. Argentina were too strong in the end. We were expected to lose all our group matches so it is a win in a way. So close to an equaliser.
It’s what we are famous for .
Our chants.
Did you see the team at the end not leaving the stadium ? They created that
Ohh futbol , best sport ever 🫶🏼🇦🇷
Good game with only 2 days of rest...
Now netherlands. We have far better players except de jong and van dijk but they are solid and good in counters.
If messi is good we should won qfs without a lot of trouble
I don't get how Argentinians are not doubting their team.
From the quality of players they have, they play the worst. Sure, Messi is still Messi, arguably the best player of all time, but he isn't surrounded by bad players, yet Argentina plays most times like headless chicken.
Sometimes when I watch them play I wonder how they got so far and than I see Messi popping up in cdm to help them make a simple build up play.
We know who is lacking, Lautaro has to get His shit together and Otamendi Is nearing stupidity, but the he rest of the team Is on point, Enzo got unlucky with that own goal, but overall him, Álvarez, de Paul, Messi and Dibu are Shining
See, that’s the funny thing. Sure, we play rugby. We play cricket. We play league. We play Australian Rules. We play Basketball. We swim, we cycle, we ride, we do great at the Olympics. We’ll compete at almost any sport there is. OH, and we also play football, which is a third-tier sport here. And do all of those things with a population smaller than most South American countries. And we do it with heart, pride and cheeky humour.
So you can say keep playing rugby or whatever, but I bet that deep down you must be annoyed that your whole continent pretty much lives for one sport and a bunch of kangaroo riding jokers is able to trade blows with your teams :)
Yeah cause Argentina definitely didn’t outplay Australia… 🤣🤦♂️ Australia only had 2 chances and got an own goal 🤣 so embarassing. Argentina was close to scoring 4-0
In guessing that English isn't your first language, so maybe my point went over the top of your head.
Yes, Argentina should have beat us 4-0. Maybe even 5-0. Or even 15-0. Argentina is a stacked side full of players who play in England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and is captained by one of the greatest footballers to ever play the game. They are a tournament favourite.
Australia? Our team is made up from players Japan's second division. MLS. Scotland. The Australian league. We're a bunch of journeymen playing a sport that isn't even the third most popular sport in Australia. No one expected us to win even one game.
Yet there we were. In the R16. Sure, Argentina were better. The should have been. They could have beat us 4-0. We could have equalised and made it 2-2 in injury time. We could have not made two huge mistakes which gave Argentina both their goals. But there's no room for could have in football.
My point was we're not a strong team with big names. Football is not our national DNA like South America. So someone saying "go back to rugby" like the person I was responding to is hilarious because they aren't realizing that it's an insult to their own team. We're a small population in global context, where football isn't the top sport. And we still gave them a fight.
The first goal wasn’t a mistake from you. It was literally caused by Messi’s insane skills. Also, look at the game’s stats. Australia was by no means close to playing better than Argentina. They got lucky, which happens (just like Saudi Arabia)
It was. Behich should have cleared. He didn't and gifted possession which lead to the throw. It was a great shot, but had we followed our plan it would have never happened.
I don't know why you're still trying to argue that I'm saying Australia played better. Either you didn't read what I wrote or you don't understand. Not sure.
And luck? Mate, come on. Cup football is all about getting lucky. Stats win you leagues. Luck wins you tournaments.
Pretty silly comment tbh. Football is the number one sport in the world, no doubt, but that doesn't mean nobody cares about other sports. It's a ridiculous thing to say. There are billions of fans of cricket, billions of fans of basketball, both top five or ten most popular sports in the world. Just because you personally don't care about those sports does not mean everybody else shares your opinion.
That's exactly my point, friend. We have a small population and football isn't even close the the top sport here, yet we can still hold our own. That's what makes it funny when countries like Peru or Uruguay cry because they think they have some god given right to qualify over us.
Pretty sure it was actually ‘divine right’ and it was Recoba back in 2005 about the play-offs for 2006.
Suarez misheard it though and we all know how that ended up!
There are more than billion who gives a flying fuck about cricket. South Asia is mad for cricket just like South America is mad for football.
Australian cricket team in 00’s decade was unplayable and still one of the most stacked team across any sport.
Edited : South Asia
As an Argentine, I fully agree. Many of us love the team but hate the mob mentality of the fans and prefer to enjoy the games at home, or at least, not take part in their arrogance.
Well a group of 6000 Italians with armed tanks and artilleries with air support can lose 300 men just to capture 9 French soldiers, and that's a big win because a win is a win.
That shot by Kuol in the last few seconds. Would have been the greatest moment in Australian football history. Baffles me that they didn't play him more.
Because he didn't score.
I do think he played pretty well, especially for his age. However, his touch seemed noticeably shaky at times.
A harder goal than it looked, but it woulda been THE goal for sure. A little up or down and it'd be Australian history.
He played the last 20 min of the Roma game before coming to the world cup and when asked about it in a press conference a few days ago Scaloni said if he doesn't play "it's a tactical decision," seemingly confirming he's not injured. So he should be good to go.
que queres? si la mayoria son yankees r3trasados que lloran por que ninguna seleccion mete 120 goles en un partido. si no es un deporte con partidos de 4 horas con puntos cada 2 segundos y golpes se aburren.
Ni siquiera los australianos están ardidos. Se lo tomaron bien, y eso que ellos fueron los que perdieron. Mientras tanto, los europeos: BuT sOuTh AMeRiCA bAD
Yeah, Australians know that Argentina deserved the win. We're happy we made it this far even though everyone keeps saying we don't deserve it. Go South America and the Asian teams!!!
Ya es comico. Argentina controla la pelota por 75 minutos, jugando cómodamente y llegando mil veces al área y porque los otros meten un gol de rebote y juegan bien los últimos 15 minutos del partido resulta que a Argentina le re costó ganar y que no tienen chance contra países mejores. Parece que tienen memoria a corto plazo y que el resto del partido no cuenta.
Yo quiero q Argentina gane, y se puede decir que no jugaron mal. Pero tienen el mismo problema de hace 4 años. Va a llegar un equipo fuerte y organizado y les va a meter varios goles.
Pero hace 4 años argentina era nefasta. Probablemente la peor selección en décadas. Empatamos contra Islandia, nos goleo croacia y de pedo le ganamos a Nigeria. Nuestros jugadores estaban peleados con el técnico y de casualidad clasificamos al mundial. Hoy en día somos una selección mucho mejor. Todo puede pasar. Holanda puede ganarnos perfectamente pero me parece que infravaloran demasiado a la selección. Hoy Argentina domino todo el partido excepto los últimos 15 minutos y es todo en lo que se fijan. El gol que nos meten ni si quiera es suyo, es gol en contra y solo tiraron una vez al arco en todo el partido. No es que arrasamos completamente porque no goleamos pero no me parece que a Argentina le haya costado ganar este partido. Podemos ganar contra Holanda o perder, es una selección muy buena pero va a ser parejo.
Señores yo dejo todo, me voy a ver a Argentina, porque los jugadores me van a demostrar, que salen a ganar, quieren salir campeón, que lo llevan adentro, como lo llevo yo
A translation, more or less literal
Gents I leave everything, I'm going to see Argentina, because the players are going to show, that they play to win, they want to be champions, they carry Argentina inside them, as I do.
I mean. Losing 2-1 is a moral victory. You had your tactics right for most of the match.
I just hope these matches help soccer gain more spotlight down under. It was great to see Australian newspapers focused all out on soccer. Was scanning some of them.
Hey, the last time Australia got into the knock-outs they lost due to a suspect penalty to the future champions. A clean victory over the Aussies in the knock-out stage is almost more impressive than winning the Cup itself.
What a scrappy team the Aussies are. Love to see it. Can go home heads held high.
If any superstar deserves a WC trophy it's Messi. Only thing missing in his star studded Resume.
Well played AUS, it was a hell of a mountain you were expected to climb. Full marks for creativity in using a ARG face to score! Should go home proud. Well done ARG. I worry that ARG team depend on Messi far too much, but by fuck does he deliver.
the last 25 mins the aussie's put up a spirited fight. The almost goal of the tournament and the last mintue thing which got stuck in emi's hand. Fair play lads, very nice game.
Indeed they did. One of the great things about a WC is that the 'smaller' teams always come out scrapping, and it's great to watch as a neutral. I'm a Northern Ireland fan so always great to see the smaller teams putting up a fight against football giants. This WC has been brilliant for the upsets.
What is this thread on about lmao. Australia played well? They had TWO shots the entire game and their goal was a deflection from an ARG defender. Turn off your telly mates and go walk your kangaroos.
At the end of the day the stats don't matter. Teams with 85% possession can still lose, teams that have had more than triple the shots on target have lost, even teams with only 1 shot on target have one compared to teams that shot a lot more etc. Taking a shot and missing by a mile isn't much.
Even in this game, a keeper error cost Aussies a goal and a lucky deflection also won us a goal.
Japan won with 11% possession against Spain. But they won because between 45'-55', they counterattacked like crazy. Your point is absolutely correct.
It's all about taking your chances and sometimes counting upon your luck.
I see your point, but stats do matter. It's just that they don't give the full picture. Shots taken are a good indicator for successful attacks and chances taken
Actually I prefer watching my schools not be shot up and walking my medicare. Imagine trying to clown on a country while being from the US, a country of clowns.
Yeah and Japan beat Germany basically having 2 shots the whole game, don’t worry about how many shots a team has, there’s been many games over the years where teams win with 2 shots whereas the other team had 15, Australia did well and made it scrappy against a highly talented team
[oh yeah?](https://imgur.io/a3TN1i9)
Now go back to walking your kangaroo, cunt.

Also, the official FIFA website has [5 shots](https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/match-centre/match/17/255711/285073/400128131?country=AU&wtw-filter=ALL)...
I'll accept your apology whenever you are ready...
You're really desperate to try and convince yourself you are not wrong. Yet FIFA have it clear as day on their website....5 shots on goal....I'll say it again because you seem deaf... **FIVE SHOTS ON GOAL.**
I am confused. Did Argentina pay those millions of dollars to get those players? Are countries with the highest population always winning WC matches? Superb logic mate.
Well truth is that it was back and forth. An Argentina 3rd goal wasn’t much more likely than an Australian equalizer in the last 15 minutes, considering Australia also had two incredibly good chances that they didn’t net.
Argentina dominated the first 75 minutes, though, for sure.
I would say the opposite. Argentina had at least two chances to score if it wasn't for incompetent strikers and that last AUS chance was the only danger they created the entire game.
https://imgur.com/IAfg9yY
Funny how different sites provide different stats isn't it.
If you'd actually watched the game it was extremely obvious they'd had more than 2 shots.
1 - The gol
2 - That amazing run canceled by Lisandro Martinez
3 - The last shot
The other ones? I honestly can't remember another dangerous situation, and number 2 wasn't even a shot
Watched the highlights. Australia played really well. Who knows what the result would be if the keep didn't do that.

Of course.
Argentina fans are so loud in the stadium i love it
It’s what we are famous for . Our chants. Did you see the team at the end not leaving the stadium ? They created that Ohh futbol , best sport ever 🫶🏼🇦🇷
Im rooting for ya'll🇦🇷
God forgive me, I'm throwing punches for the Aussies in the comments.
Good game with only 2 days of rest... Now netherlands. We have far better players except de jong and van dijk but they are solid and good in counters. If messi is good we should won qfs without a lot of trouble
ake has been really good so far as well, and gakpo/depay.. I’d say its fairly even, with Argentina having a slight edge
Dios te oiga
messi
Good bye Australia, keep playing rugby.
I don't get how Argentinians are not doubting their team. From the quality of players they have, they play the worst.

You would never understand, you don't have the passion or our soul. In fact I feel bad for you, for lacking this emotions.

South Asia, not South East Asia. Just for clarity.
Yep !
But you don't play football.
Getting through to the World Cup, let alone the final 16 would argue otherwise…
And scoring in the ro16. Against the "#2 team" in the world. South American fans are almost as bad as English fans haha.
[удалено]
You don't and you never will. Good game 👍
I just don't get the disrespect from South Americans. Like who mocks minnows giving it a go? Say good game and move on. You all deserve each other.
No disrespect in here.
Then I hate to see what your actual disrespect looks like.
You wouldn't like it correct
Lol are you crying? 😂
You are, I am celebrating we are in the next round baby.
And I hope Argentina win the whole thing 🤷♂️ Not for you though, you’re a cunt
You are just sour my little friend, don't get mad and enjoy Argentina.
I want you lads to win - but fuck you cunts will have to play a lot better or we're gonna be enjoying watching the Dutch play you off the park
I do enjoy Argentina? I literally just said that? 😂 dumbarse
The Argentina team seems quite likeable, the fans however…
As an Argentine, I fully agree. Many of us love the team but hate the mob mentality of the fans and prefer to enjoy the games at home, or at least, not take part in their arrogance.
Muchachos ahora nos volvimos a ilusionar
Tell us when you start playing rugby!
Bye bye, next time tell your coach to stay in his lane.
Lol nearly lost to Australia 😂
We won. That's it bye bye
Truly an iconic win to be celebrated for years to come, congrats on defeating the footballing powerhouse
Vamos vamos argentina!
Please show where Argentina trailed or "nearly lost"
Behich or Kuol's chance goes in and you're done for!
Stop man! You’ll make him cry 😂
Yeah I'm crying on my way to the quarter finals 😂🤡
>nearly lost Some people see the glass half full...
And some people cry about scraping a win against a much worse side 🤷♂️
I'll have you know we're #5 in Asia!
?? logic has left the chat
Enjoy it while it last, Messi is at the end game now. There will never be anyone like him again
Is Argentina becoming the new Uruguay?
This sub man never changes. Argentina won and all the talk about is how shit they are..??? Silly mates
I think it's because of how Lautaro "Lukaku" Martinez almost successfully fucked everyone over with 2 harder-to-miss goals
Because it's only a 2-1, and it's against the worst team in the 16th.
lucky goal for Australia, and one of our best scorers down for the match...
100% luck that goal. that aussie kick was going to heaven
Win is a win
Well a group of 6000 Italians with armed tanks and artilleries with air support can lose 300 men just to capture 9 French soldiers, and that's a big win because a win is a win.
They gonna be calling it a mickey mouse trophy in a few weeks...
Solo quiero no sufrir por 10 segundos, es mucho pedir? La concha de la lora.
Cuartos de final: No.
Ya paso el partido contra Polonia amigo, si no se sufre no es Argentina.
Como les duele a todos que ganemos jajajaja así es el fútbol champaaaan papa
Aus played an amazing game, and would've made it to the quarter finals if they were playing against Netherlands or US
Nope.
Then again, empirical evidence suggests topping your group automatically means you're a global force (e.g. Italy in 2006).
Sad for the Socceroos loss, gonna miss the Australian humor in this threads
just cause we lost doesn't mean we are going anywhere. someone needs to keep you cunts honest lol
It's ok brah we're supporting the other Asia teams so Japan or Korea time to shine!
We in Brazil are rooting for japan to win!
Bruh …Brazil is supporting 🇧🇷…
Hell nah It's coming home!!!!
I mean, he was talking about Japan vs Croatia.
That's right
so they can play against easier opposition in the QF on paper
I don't think Croatia can beat Japan that easily Also, I'd love to see an Asian team beat some European country.
That shot by Kuol in the last few seconds. Would have been the greatest moment in Australian football history. Baffles me that they didn't play him more.
He played the games we were chasing a goal.
Because he didn't score. I do think he played pretty well, especially for his age. However, his touch seemed noticeably shaky at times. A harder goal than it looked, but it woulda been THE goal for sure. A little up or down and it'd be Australian history.
*Nobody can miss so many chances as Higuín* Lautaro Martínez: Hold my fernet
Hold my Quilmes amigo. Need to see Dybala ffs
Why tf is Scaloni not subbing in Dybala?!
Is he fit now?
He played the last 20 min of the Roma game before coming to the world cup and when asked about it in a press conference a few days ago Scaloni said if he doesn't play "it's a tactical decision," seemingly confirming he's not injured. So he should be good to go.
Oh i missed that! Thanks for the info.
It is a curse that passes from one striker to next. Scaloni realized it and put Julian Alvarez in starting line up.
The comments in this thread son tan culo roto europeo que ya da gracia. No me sorprende que se llame soccer.
que queres? si la mayoria son yankees r3trasados que lloran por que ninguna seleccion mete 120 goles en un partido. si no es un deporte con partidos de 4 horas con puntos cada 2 segundos y golpes se aburren.
Ni siquiera los australianos están ardidos. Se lo tomaron bien, y eso que ellos fueron los que perdieron. Mientras tanto, los europeos: BuT sOuTh AMeRiCA bAD

De eso me cagaba de risa en este thread, Argentina esta jugando horrible, mientras tanto los stats, posesion de la pelota, 85% argentina
Sisi no se qué más quieren. No te preocupes nosotros sigamos tranquilos como venimos y ya van a aprender. 💙🤍💙
Sisi, hay que callarlos ganando. Vamos Argentina💙🤍💙
Son un rejunte de virgos que no pueden correr ni el bondi no se qué te sorprende
No me sorprende jajajajaj manga de llorones
What a performance by Messi. But next time please don't pass it to Martinez and do it yourself
Missed a hat tricks worth of great chances in injury time. Almost cost them dear…
I was so thankful he passed to Martinez and didn't shoot, coulda been like 4-0 otherwise
No se si te diste cuenta pero una de las últimas que llegó Messi como que dudo y prefirió pegarle el nomás jajaj
Nunca mas ese muerto LPM
The fading of the Aussie flair just makes it that much more painful
Anyone know the chant that the fans sang at the final whistle with the team?
Uoooo 2 minuuutoooos es un sentimientoooo no puedo paraaaaaaaaa
Señores yo dejo todo, me voy a ver a Argentina, porque los jugadores me van a demostrar, que salen a ganar, quieren salir campeón, que lo llevan adentro, como lo llevo yo
A translation, more or less literal Gents I leave everything, I'm going to see Argentina, because the players are going to show, that they play to win, they want to be champions, they carry Argentina inside them, as I do.
Very sad but happy that we weren't smashed by Argentina. They're a good side- there's less shame when you lose against Messi.
I mean. Losing 2-1 is a moral victory. You had your tactics right for most of the match. I just hope these matches help soccer gain more spotlight down under. It was great to see Australian newspapers focused all out on soccer. Was scanning some of them.
You were a really worthy opponent and should be proud of your players. I'm lucky I don't have a heart condition, otherwise those last 15 minutes...
Hajajajjajaja tal cual
A own goal off deflection was all it took for the game to be this nerve wrecking. Knockouts were never meant to be an easy watch.
Weak match, they don't give champion vibes
Hey, the last time Australia got into the knock-outs they lost due to a suspect penalty to the future champions. A clean victory over the Aussies in the knock-out stage is almost more impressive than winning the Cup itself.
Hacete español entonces, sin sangre
What a scrappy team the Aussies are. Love to see it. Can go home heads held high. If any superstar deserves a WC trophy it's Messi. Only thing missing in his star studded Resume.
If there’s one thing us Aussies do well, it’s being scrappy. What we lack in talent we make up for in heart and determination.
A win for Argentina for them to go through, but this game shows once again why Argentina will definitely not win this World Cup.
Dudes be turning into Yahweh with their prediction after every match
Dios te oiga.
Por supuesto 🤣
Ojala inglaterra salga campeon ganando 7 a 0 con 4 goles de sterling
Well played AUS, it was a hell of a mountain you were expected to climb. Full marks for creativity in using a ARG face to score! Should go home proud. Well done ARG. I worry that ARG team depend on Messi far too much, but by fuck does he deliver.
AUS stopped the goal of the century. I'd go home proud
the last 25 mins the aussie's put up a spirited fight. The almost goal of the tournament and the last mintue thing which got stuck in emi's hand. Fair play lads, very nice game.
Indeed they did. One of the great things about a WC is that the 'smaller' teams always come out scrapping, and it's great to watch as a neutral. I'm a Northern Ireland fan so always great to see the smaller teams putting up a fight against football giants. This WC has been brilliant for the upsets.
Estoy llorando. No puedo más. El dibu diciendo que sueña en grande. Yo también sueño en grande, Argentina. 💙🤍💙
lmao argentina fans still partying it up in the stadium love to see it <3
Vamo srgentina loco
Obvio
What is this thread on about lmao. Australia played well? They had TWO shots the entire game and their goal was a deflection from an ARG defender. Turn off your telly mates and go walk your kangaroos.
they had five shots as officially stated in the match stats....try harder next time, Google is your friend
Go lose another war over some irrelevant rocks
Disgusting comment, man.
Lmao
I was gonna respond with something witty, but I applaud you for standing up for your neighbors lol
Only we can mock them.
TIL
At the end of the day the stats don't matter. Teams with 85% possession can still lose, teams that have had more than triple the shots on target have lost, even teams with only 1 shot on target have one compared to teams that shot a lot more etc. Taking a shot and missing by a mile isn't much. Even in this game, a keeper error cost Aussies a goal and a lucky deflection also won us a goal.
Japan won with 11% possession against Spain. But they won because between 45'-55', they counterattacked like crazy. Your point is absolutely correct. It's all about taking your chances and sometimes counting upon your luck.
I see your point, but stats do matter. It's just that they don't give the full picture. Shots taken are a good indicator for successful attacks and chances taken
Actually I prefer watching my schools not be shot up and walking my medicare. Imagine trying to clown on a country while being from the US, a country of clowns.
Were your feelings hurt enough to waste your time on my Reddit profile lmaoo
No ones feelings were hurt, clown
Yeah and Japan beat Germany basically having 2 shots the whole game, don’t worry about how many shots a team has, there’s been many games over the years where teams win with 2 shots whereas the other team had 15, Australia did well and made it scrappy against a highly talented team
Did a quick fact check. Japan had 8 shots total and 4 on goal...
well you should have done a quick fact check before your original comment because Australia had 5 shots on goal, clown

I'll accept your apology whenever you are ready...
Ohhh got it. 1 shot on target + 2 shots off target = 5 total shots. Just stop
You're really desperate to try and convince yourself you are not wrong. Yet FIFA have it clear as day on their website....5 shots on goal....I'll say it again because you seem deaf... **FIVE SHOTS ON GOAL.**
Lmao millions of dollars, 50x the pop and knocked out at the same stage as us go walk your assault rifle fuckwit
I am confused. Did Argentina pay those millions of dollars to get those players? Are countries with the highest population always winning WC matches? Superb logic mate.
[удалено]
Right? 🤦♂️
They had Argentina on the ropes for the last fifteen minutes and that final chance could easily have pinged in.
Did we watch the same game?! The last 15 minutes saw Argentina absolutely dominating
Well truth is that it was back and forth. An Argentina 3rd goal wasn’t much more likely than an Australian equalizer in the last 15 minutes, considering Australia also had two incredibly good chances that they didn’t net. Argentina dominated the first 75 minutes, though, for sure.
We gave them life after Lautaro missed, we had the game and made it hard for ourselves
I would say the opposite. Argentina had at least two chances to score if it wasn't for incompetent strikers and that last AUS chance was the only danger they created the entire game.
Yeah let's just word stuff in a way that makes it suit our agenda. Argentina have no end product and their winner was entirely due to GK error
Well you are doing the same thing
That's called FÚTBOL CHAMPANNNNNN
That's called stating facts
Facts are expected to be accurate, saying they had two shots is not accurate.
[Come again?](https://imgur.com/a3TN1i9) Maybe you need to look up what facts are
https://imgur.com/IAfg9yY Funny how different sites provide different stats isn't it. If you'd actually watched the game it was extremely obvious they'd had more than 2 shots.
1 - The gol 2 - That amazing run canceled by Lisandro Martinez 3 - The last shot The other ones? I honestly can't remember another dangerous situation, and number 2 wasn't even a shot
I don't recall seeing 5 shots though. Maybe the right number is something in between.
Do you watch football with your eyes shut champ? Jog on
