It’s 5am in Mexico and I’m awake to watch my beautiful home country take on France at the World Cup. Let’s hope this is worth it
Just the four saves by Matt Ryan needed in the first 8 minutes. France don’t know what hit ’em #FRAAUS
France in the ropes here. Aussies all over them. Doubt setting in. Flashbacks of 2002 and 2010 mounting. Griezmann in tears. Looking good for the Socceroos #FRAAUS
France make it to half-time. Can’t help but feel that the world’s best 19-year-old will step up and decide the game in the second half. Just gotta make sure the Aussies bring Daniel Arzani off the bench
Scandalous video refereeing. Risdon clearly touches the ball. FIFA ruining the game
HOWZAAAT
Into the final 15 minutes. Second coffee down, absolutely buzzing. Australia’s best ever World Cup performance
Sickening denouement. First Italy in ‘06, now this. France using up their luck early in the tournament. Australia looking like good candidates to get past the group
