Graham Arnold has implored his players to avoid reading “shite” on social media, warning it will negatively affect their psychological preparation for Australia’s definitive final World Cup Group D match against Denmark.
Only 90 minutes stand between the Socceroos and a place in the round of 16 for the first time since 2006, but Arnold is just as concerned about how much external noise his squad take on board during the build-up, impressing upon them advice from personal experience: “The same people backing you are the ones killing you the day after.”
