Fair play to the Aussies, Federation Square in Melbourne (you might have seen clips of celebrations there during the tournament) has been packed out since 5am to watch the game on the big screen there. Kick off is 6am local time.

They have to talk about Messi cos they are a one man team. Rest of their side is weak apart from a promising Alvarez.

Enzo Fernandez is a quality player too. I don't think he'll be at Benfica for very long.

Messi’s good but has he ever played against St Mirren’s midfield general Keanu Baccus?

ForeverAddickted

God this game is shite!! 

ValleyGary

Was never gonna be a classic. Australia have to stay in the game as long as possible. Keep LM quiet and they’ve got a chance.

Think it’ll take a dodgy decision for them to beat the Dutch

Game craft , will see them win it …. You heard it here first and last

Messi's stats for Argentina aren't as good as you'd imagine. 94 goals, but only 50 of them were in competitive matches.

50 in 118 competitive matches compares pretty poorly with CR7's 98 in 142.

9 goals in World Cups is a low return too, considering the number of games he's played (22).

Matt Ryan out stumped

Addick Addict

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear what was Ryan doing!!!

Sign the Aussie keeper up.

Stupid goalkeeper. Why?

ValleyGary

What a knob 

oohaahmortimer

Another reason why pony footballers should play Garnerball

Matt McGRyan.

soapboxsam

Utter madness with too much Jeopardy by Ryan to attempt to dribble pass two players.

hoof_it_up_to_benty

Dreadful game so far. Both keepers look dodgy with the ball at their feet.
