AWESOME: People In Australia Went Fucking Nuts The Moment They Scored To Advance In The World Cup
That's how you do a celebration. Good for another soccer country like the US to qualify for the Round of 16. Remember Australia qualified for the World Cup all thanks to a dancing goalie:
They won a playoff in a penalty kick to get there. Now they are in the round of 16 and got out of a group with France, Denmark and Tunisia. First off, France is awesome. Second, Denmark has a good chance to go down as the ultimate flops at this event. They were a darkhorse pick to win the whole thing, especially after their showing in Euros. Instead they didn't win one match. They couldn't even score in a match they had to win today.
As for Tunisia? Brutal. They actually took the lead on France and if they won with an Australia draw they would have gotten through:
However less than 5 minutes later Australia took the lead and Tunisia was basically dead right there. They needed a Denmark goal. They even had a France goal taken away in the 98th minute. Denmark couldn't do anything though. So here we are and honestly the US caught a break.
If Poland gets a point today (assuming Saudi Arabia doesn't win) the winner of Netherlands/USA gets Australia/Poland in the quarterfinals. If that happens and we can somehow beat the Dutch, the bracket breaks for us. All I know is Australia had every right to go batshit crazy and they did.
