Good to see Messi seeking out the cumdog for inspiration and advice

It’s Twitter. Given its recent changes, it no longer has any relevance other than for trolls.

I never had, and still don’t have a problem with Twitter.

I must just curate my feed better than most.

Apparently Kuol is the youngest player to play in a World Cup knockout stage since Pele in 1958

Speaking of Twitter, nice to see Grabara staying classy on there this morning :roll_eyes:

Pretty easy to not make a mistake when you don’t get off the bench all tournament.

You mean you don’t know what a clap hat is?

i am aware of the existence of hats with hands with strings on them that can be made to clap.

I was unaware of their role in Danish insults.

I know feel compensated for this morning’s loss as I have now learnt of this wonderful usage.

That hurts far more than I expected.
But so, so proud of this team.
Irvine and Degenek being so shattered shows how much belief they had in themselves that they could do it.
Onwards and upwards for this team

So proud of the boys. Who woulda thunk that a bunch of no names from the A-League, SPL etc would make R16 and then push Argentina all the way.

This was a tight game. All 3 goals essentially came from defensive mistakes not one team ripping the other apart.

Fairytale aside, I can’t see Argentina winning the WC. Netherlands will do them next game.

Proper gut punch. Feels more deflating 2 hours later than it did immediately after full time.

Had we been beaten by an exceptional piece of skill or a screamer of a goal I’d be OK. The fact that we basically beat ourselves hurts and will for quite a while. Typically heroic Socceroos defeat, getting pretty sick of them!

Was hoping we’d progress further purely so that Leckie, Jmac and Tilio would miss the game next weekend against us.
