FIFA World Cup: Socceroos unite Australia ahead of Argentina clash

The Souq Waqif market in central Doha is teeming with humanity at the moment. Qatari men in thobes and – far fewer – women in abayas and niqabs jostle with football shirts from all over the world. In this Babel, Socceroos jerseys are scarce and hard to spot, and usually turn out to be Brazil’s anyway.

A soccer fan lets off a flare at Melbourne’s Federation Square during the Socceroos’ World Cup match. But Saudi Arabia has been eliminated, and as this is being written, Japan needs to beat Spain to be sure of qualifying. But the Socceroos are through to the last 16. More to the point, Australia will be with the United States the only two of those 16 in which soccer is not the No.1 football code.One of Arnold’s oft-repeated themes is that the Socceroos and Matildas are the only sporting teams that can unite the nation. The outpouring of love and flares in Federation Square as Australia beat Tunisia and toppled Denmark and the TV ratings bear him out. This is not a mere flash mob.

Japan beating Spain was not a huge upset?

Now we have Japan defeating Spain to add to this impressive list.
