Mitchell Duke celebrated scoring Australia\u0027s winning goal by forming a \u0022J\u0022 with his fingers in a tribute to his son who was in the stands.

“I actually was messaging some of my family, saying that I was going to score today, and I told my son that I was going to be able to share this moment with him and get that celebration,” Duke said. “I haven’t seen it yet but apparently he did it back to me from the stadium, which was a really special moment that I’m going to treasure for the rest of my life.”Article content

“To keep all the guys up, because he’s one of the most fantastic blokes you’ll ever meet,” Arnold said. “There was no way he wanted to go home, and no way I wanted to send him home. He deserves it more than anybody for what he did in the qualifying campaign.” The score quieted the large contingent of red-clad Tunisia fans among the crowd of 41,823 inside Al Janoub Stadium, and sent the small pockets of Australian supporters dressed in yellow into delirium.

There were fewer errors this time, and some timely interventions, too — none bigger than a last-gasp sliding clearance from centre back Harry Souttar to block Mohamed Drager’s dangerous shot shortly before halftime.Article content

Herdman's inspiration try at World Cup provokes CroatiaCanada had just lost its first World Cup match in 36 years, outplaying Belgium for much of a 1-0 defeat, and an emotional John Herdman revealed in the on-field interview what he had just told his players during a postgame huddle. Croatian-Canadian here: while I don’t think that was respectful to say publicly, if both teams play the same that they did, Canada will very likely win.
