Yeh great results by Japan who are ranked 24th to beat Spain 7th and Germany 11th. But Aussies ranked 38th should be commended for beating Denmark ranked 10th.

Geez Ashley Klein gets about.
Looks like it was actually a correct decision... by the slimmest of margins?
All of the ball must be out. This shows how camera angles can flatter to deceive

The Asian Confederation see Japan, South Korea and Australia go through to knock out rounds which shows how they are bridging the gap with the rest of the world.
Especially considering a bunch of ours play in the A League.
Maybe the days of Asian sides being psyched out by the big football countries are numbered.
Which goes to prove
On the day ranking is dominated by the Resilience , Passion and Desire of wanting to win the game

Colombian midfielder Andres Balanta dies after training session aged 22
Colombian midfielder Andres Balanta has died at the age of 22 after collapsing during a training session with Argentine side Atletico Tucuman.
Balanta, who was on loan at Atletico from Deportivo Cali, was rushed to hospital after falling unconscious during the club's first training session back after a short holiday.
Emergency personnel attempted to resuscitate Balanta for more than 40 minutes, but they were unable to save the life of the former Colombia Under-23 international.
A statement from Atletico Tucuman announcing Balanta's passing read: "We regret to inform you about the death of Andres Balanta. The club's supporters are deeply saddened today. Of course, we support his family, teammates and friends."
Balanta also represented Colombia at Under-17 and Under-20 level, and played at the latter level's World Cup in Indonesia in 2019. He joined Atletico Tucuman on loan last summer after playing almost 100 games for Deportivo Cali in the role of defensive midfielder.

But I also have my mother in law heading this way for a visit.
So "swings and round-a-bouts" I guess.
Anyone think Australia will win?
