Socceroos wiggle on to the World Cup
How good was it… The Socceroos have qualified for their 5th straight FIFA World Cup after winning a thrilling penalty shootout against Peru yesterday morning. Neither team scored during the main game or extra time, but a penalty shootout saw Australia come out on top, capped off by an incredible save by substitute goalie Andrew Redmayne. Coach Graham Arnold made the last-minute substitution and the Sydney FC goalie did his thing, showing off his distracting moves that have seen him labelled the ‘Grey Wiggle’. It’s a title that’s officially Wiggle approved… The victory was extra good news for Arnold, who has been fighting to save his job after some recent poor performances by the team. It’s now expected that he will lead the Socceroos to the World Cup in Qatar starting on 21 November.
