The Socceroos have an uphill World Cup battle ahead after being thumped 4-1 by defending champions France in Qatar yesterday morning. Despite the Aussies sinking an early goal so glorious it made you believe anything is possible, the French roared back with a convincing win. Australia is now last in Group D after a 0-0 draw between Denmark and Tunisia. We now have to win at least one match and draw one to make it through to the knockout stage of the World Cup for the 2nd time ever. It’s not going to be easy – our next match is against Tunisia at 9pm our time on Saturday night, and with an estimated 55,000 Tunisian expats living in Qatar, its fans have already been dubbed the loudest at this year’s FIFA World Cup – unlike the German team who were silent overnight… Then we face the top 10-ranked Denmark next Thursday. At least it can’t be worse than the “greatest upset in World Cup history”#SquizShortcut
