Would USA be favored over AUS? Don’t look like they would deserve to be.
Yeah, that would have been vintage Maradona-quality
OK two hands on the face guy I’m not rooting for Argentina any more. Go Soccer Roos!
Anyone wanna walk me through how a country with a red, white, and blue flag ended up always dressing their sportsball teams in green and yellow?
Inspired by the ancestors from Norwich, I believe.

Maybe it’s yellow for the bright Aussie sun and green for the luscious Aussie gra…oh.
no but seriously it’s after their deadly wildlife
great save
South Africa has the same colors.
Yeah wtf at this even being close.
Long associated with Australian sporting achievements, the national colours have strong environmental connections. Gold conjures images of Australia’s beaches, mineral wealth, grain harvests and the fleece of Australian wool. Green evokes the forests, eucalyptus trees and pastures of the Australian landscape.

Really good game.
Not sure whether it’s worse to lose like AUS who had a real chance or just get embarrassed like the US. Heartbreak vs humiliation. Tough call.
Wild that was close.

Heartbreak every time. It was a good game and those players will have learned a lot.

Thanks. That seems a bit odd that the association between those things and sports stuck.
Any talk of changing the flag? I’ve heard of the New Zealanders considering it for theirs.
