Proud politicians
Both sides of politics have rallied around the Socceroos as they enter the knockout round for the third time ever.
Posting to X, Prime Minsiter Anthony Albanese praised the squad.
Opposition leader Angus Taylor has joined in and shown he has a good sense of humour throwing back to one of the great memes of Australian political history.
This phrase references a famous 2019 political gaffe by the now leader of the Liberal Party, where his official Facebook page accidentally replied to one of his own posts with the comment: "Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus."

Popovic: 'So proud of everyone'
Socceroos coach Tony Popovic has just spoken while Australian fans belt out chants of "we're going to Dallas" in the background.
"Unbelievable, we're just so proud of everyone involved, the staff, the players, just a wonderful young group of men," he said.
"Now we go to Dallas, and we try to do something special."
Popovic said Australia deserved the result.
"We were very good today, wonderful performance," he said.
He also shouted out the support back home.
"Get up early, please, thanks for the support," he said.
"Trust me — it's greatly appreciated by all the boys and staff and we can't thank you enough."

Jordy Bos shares his thoughts
Fullback Jordy Bos told SBS after the game the team was pushing for the win but happy with the result.
"I thought it was good from the boys, and obviously it was a tough game. It was a bit of a hustle towards the end of the game but we got the draw," he said.
"Obviously, we wanted the win, but we still qualified for the next round, so very happy."
Bos performed strongly and made a couple of searching runs on goal from the right flank, but couldn't get the goal, with one shot in particular in the 89th minute curling wide.
"Obviously yeah I did not get the goal but it was a decent performance overall, I think," he said.
Asked about the Australian support, he said: "We appreciated it. We know that we have support here and we've seen videos back home, and we know how everyone is getting around it and supporting us, and we really feel lucky, so we are happy with all of the support and it gets us through it."
Bos usually plays left fullback, but lined up on the right side after an injury to right back Jacob Italiano.
Coach Tony Popovic brought in Aziz Behich to play left back.
