Bit boring and cagey, as I guess reflects two teams who probably progress to the R32 with a draw.
Socceroos dominating possession and having the best chances. Beach nothing to do.

Herrington is one very impressive 18 yr old. Incredibly composed for such a big stage. You can see why Barca are interested.

We will challenge Australia regularly when we can match the pace at which this game is being played. We love to slow down the game. It’s the Aussies here who are setting a very fast paced game.

lol bit slower in the second half. 

But that might have been their chance. Bos wriggles through but puts it just wide of the upright.

Aussies match what NZ did in 2010. A 0-0 verus Paraguay.
A back 5 verus a back 5. Not losing rather than winning the primary goal.

Socceroos finish 2nd behind the USA and play 2nd placed from our Group G in Dallas.
AWs beat Belgium and it could be a Trans Tasman R32 matchup!

Though if Iran beat Egypt, Iran (go to 5 pts) win the group and NZ or Egypt (both 4 pts) could be 2nd, GD dependent.

If we finish equal points with Egypt, Egypt will be ahead of us as head-to-head record is the first point for separating teams on equal points.

Ah yes of course. 
So to finish 2nd and play the Socceroos, we need to beat Belgium plus have Iran not beat Egypt.

It could be fun if Iran beat Egypt, we beat Belgium (and come 3rd) and then we play Switzerland....while Iran would play Algeria possibly next round, then after that....USA (if they beat Bosnia)
