Summary
Thanks for joining me today on an historic occasion for Australian football. Stay tuned for live coverage of the day’s remaining three matches with Poland v Saudi Arabia up next.
I’ll see you back here soon.
Harry Souttar was a giant out there, literally and metaphorically. He’s had a word to Australian TV.
It feels great, it was an absolute battle out there. Both teams going at it. We were hanging on a little bit towards the last ten, 15 minutes. But all the lads put their bodies on the line, making tackles, making the blocks. It was just an amazing feeling and that relief to go over the line and to get three points. We know we could have played better in the France game, we were disappointed with ourselves and the manner of the goals we conceded. But I think everyone defending to really put that right. Yes, just so happy we got through.
I don’t think I was on the ball much, just trying to defend the box. And every single one of us did that exceptionally well. Coming for crosses, taking pressure off the back four, the midfield dropping back for wing-backs, the wingers took again doing unbelievable and so pleased for everyone. The players, the staff, please for the manager.
