A win over Denmark would ensure Australia qualify for the last 16 for just the second time in history, but there may be another way for Graham Arnold’s men.
Then they’re into the round of 16, and will equal the golden generation’s achievement in 2006 by finishing second in Group D — unless Tunisia can pull off a miracle result against France and beat the defending champions by several goals, in which case the Socceroos could finish first. Unlikely, but mathematically possible.
The Socceroos’ Mitch Duke celebrates his winning goal against Tunisia on Saturday night, which also proved a rating winner for SBS.A single point will still be enough for Australia to reach the next round and clinch second spot in Group D, so long as France also beats Tunisia in the other match that will be played at the same time.Then it’s all over. Denmark goes through, and the Socceroos miss out on the chance to advance to the next stage.
But on the same night the Socceroos face Denmark, Poland will take on Argentina, and Saudi Arabia meet Mexico , so a lot can change. Those matches will be played at 6am If Australia can get it done, the Saudis are probably the most beatable of those three teams, followed by Poland, and then Argentina. But let’s get it done first.
