    Haha... the Australian Goalkeeper, dancing on his line like an absolute twat and dives the wrong way

    He reminds me of Sasa Ilic at Wembley when he pissed around for a couple of penalties.

    Of course he bloody saved one... Congrats Australia!!

    Didnt think they'd do it, not when they missed out on automatic qualification through AFC

    When are referees going to clamp down on the behaviour of keeper's in penalty shoot outs?

    There was at least one occasion if not more where the Australia keeper met the Peru players halfway down the pitch as they were walking towards the penalty spot and seemed to be giving them some verbals. 

    And then for the final penalty he spent around a minute having a drink of water whilst the Peru player stood to take his penalty.

    I'm all for gaining an advantage where possible but that is surely unsporting behaviour? Seems to be happening more and more often now in penalties as well because other keeper's see counterparts getting away with it.

    Congrats Aussies - your prize is a group with two teams you were paired with four years ago plus Tunisia.

    Funnily enough, the group in 2018 was France, Denmark, Australia and Peru! So whoever won the play-off had the same situation in front of them.

    One last place to be decided then... will it be New Zealand or Costa Rica?

    Costa Rica with an early goal that dribbles into the net

    Ooo New Zealand really should be level, decent open game so far

    How many opportunities do New Zealand want...

    Navas has to be the only reason Costa Rica are so high in the FIFA rankings!!

    Costa Rica go to the World Cup - Very unlucky for New Zealand who were excellent, apart from in front of goal

    All 32-teams now confirmed, doubt either Costa Rica or Australia will get very far watching them these two days

    Bit of a false start for the final whistle! Costa Rica win 1-0 and are the 32nd team to make the World Cup.

    Just one more game to be played before the World Cup now.

    Brazil vs Argentina in September, in that re-arranged game after the farce over the COVID passports.

    The referee made some terrible calls and very  inconsistent.  Left so frustrated that the referee decided the game. The disallowed goal is some of the worst referring/VARing i have ever seen.  Garbett slightly grabs an oponents leg as he falls down gets up plays the ball  5-7 sceconds later we score. Costa Ricans plead with ref to review the incident. Goal disallowed. Contact/Gripping no worse than a thousand jostles in the box during a corner. Fck the lot of yas. (Go England).

    My only consolation is that it will be Costa Rica not NZ getting spanked by Germany, Spain and Japan.

    This could be interesting to see if it works - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62001959

    Wonder if it'll be accidentally turned off when Qatar are playing ;)
