🚨🎙️| Zlatan Ibrahimović:

🗣️“After watching this tournament and today’s 2-2 draw, I have to say I was impressed. I don’t think African football gets the recognition it deserves. The quality, intensity, and confidence these teams play with is incredible.”

“People always talk about Europe and South America, but Africa belongs in that conversation too. If you’re still underestimating African football, you’re simply not watching the games.”

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

I’m speechless. In awe. A little bit lost for words…

First of, Cape Verde — you are simply the story of the World Cup. Them getting out of this group, going undefeated with Uruguay AND Spain, would be one of the greatest underdog stories in World Cup history.

I’m not emotionally prepared to log back onto the darkest corners of the internet tomorrow (Teams, Outlook, and Excel).

Friends are soulmates too, there is so much love in a real, genuine friendship btw

Más allá de la emoción del fútbol, qué gran clase de geografía que es para los niños el mundial. Se aprenden nombres de países, banderas, su ubicación. Qué bonito verlos descubrir con tanta ilusión.

Strong words from England legend Wayne Rooney, who was not impressed with the Socceroos 🗣️🇦🇺

I’m in love with this sentence:

“Your future is shaped by the habits you repeat, not the goals you set.”

@Munalozy Having friends you genuinely admire is underrated.
A good circle naturally motivates you to level up.

[Muna @Munalozy]

All my friends have something I admire about them. The hustle, style, the way they move, beauty, intelligence and more. It's so important to have people around you that motivates you in some kind of way.

People are going to bed worrying about their sleep patterns, you get a World Cup every 4 years.

Sleep is overrated.

[Robbie Slater @RobbieSlater17]

In all my time in football I can’t remember two goal scorers being dropped for their very next match! One of them was MOM! @Socceroos @FIFAWorldCup

[Ray Gatt @Gatty54]

Volpato and Irankunda should start for the Socceroos in every game for the next 15 years!

[Cristiano Romero @CristianoRomero]

A arbitragem nesta Copa do Mundo está repleta de falhas. Embora a seleção dos EUA tenha dominado o primeiro tempo do jogo, no segundo tempo a Austrália equilibrou o jogo e já teve mais de uma chance para, no mínimo, diminuir. Juiz não marcou pênalti claríssimo para a Austrália, além de uma falta na entrada da área, que, se anotada, obrigaria o juiz a dar cartão vermelho para o zagueiro americano, uma vez que ele era o último na marcação. Cadê o VAR???

Australia is incredible. Love it when we support the Socceroos and our country like this.

[Harold Holt Memorial Pool @champagnesftboi]

Even the Brazilians know we were robbed

[outbreezy @outbreezyWC]

benching your two goal scorers from the previous game to go defensive and conceding in the 11th minute anyway is nasty work.

no one overthinks things like soccer managers. horrible start for australia, so disappointing.

[Athas Zafiris @ArtSapphire]

Disastrous first half for the Socceroos. Popa sabotaged the team with his selections and gambled on a 0-0 half time score. Failed miserably.

Socceroos knockout scenarios (basically, 'get a point')

3 points: Can advance as 3rd-placer but need tiebreakers (better if Paraguay def Türkiye) & other groups not providing good 3rd-placers

4 points: Almost guaranteed to advance & finish 2nd in Group D unless Türkiye gets to 6 pts

6 points: Finish 2nd

Finish 2nd: Face Group G runner-up (Belgium, NZ, Iran, Egypt) in Dallas, 4am Saturday July 4

Finish 3rd: Likely face Group E winner (Germany or Ivory Coast) in Boston, 6:30am Tuesday June 30
