So, Australia is ranked 38th in the world. We have just beaten Tunisia ranked 30, and Denmark ranked 10th.
This is an amazingly huge achievement by the Socceroos.
2 of the 3 goals we have scored at this tournament have been scored by current A-League players.
We really punch above our weight in the world of football.
There are plenty of teams ranked well above us that will be knocked out, some of them very highly ranked.
Belgium (2) Germany (11), Mexico (14) hanging on a knife edge, as are others.
Don't forget that Italy, didn't even qualify for the tournament.
