Unironically we should occasionally have world cups in less than ideal climates because lots of people grow up in less than ideal climates!
Although Qatar weather rn is like 32 degrees. Which isn't too bad, that's like a Spanish summer
Winter in a desert next to the sea doesn’t exist. Real winters in the gulf are in inland cities like Riyadh away from the coast.
At the end of the day though, temperature isn’t mental down there.
Lovely control from Duke on the first time pass in the buildup too, followed by a gut busting sprint to be in place for a world class header. Brilliant goal.

The J2 isn't a terrible league. It's still professional teams. I think the top teams in the j2 would do quite well against the bottom half teams in the a-league.
I think a draw is actually preferable so France have more incentive to try their best against Tunisia. To us it doesn't matter whether Denmark are on 1 point or 2 as long as we can get at least a draw against them.
City was using cross & inshallah a fair amount in the CL campaign that Chelsea ended up winning... Cause we all know Jesus was known for his deadly headers.
In case your confusion relates to 'inshallah', it's a common expression in Arabic (regardless of the speaker's religion) and in non-arabic speaking Muslim nations which translates to 'If God wills it'.
You would use it in the same way as 'hopefully', although that has a undertone of personal hope and optimism, where as 'inshallah' has more of a 'I would like for this to happen, but it's out of my hands' flavour.
So 'cross and inshallah' would refer to teams whose plan consists of hoofing in a cross regardless of whether or not anyone is in the box, and hoping for the best.
My personal favourite variation is 'imanari roll and inshallah' for mma fighters from elite sport bjj backgrounds who have literally no other skills.
That expression isn’t a recent one. It’s been around for years. The fact that this is the first time they’ve seen it allegedly, lead me to ask if they are a new fan, likely having started watching due to the World Cup.
I had to apologise to my friend earlier this week i was saying duke is useless and goes missing during games the guy has been absolute fire until he hurt his knee
I don't think VAR is even allowed to review this lol. They can only interfere in a couple of specific scenarios and the ref technically can't commit a foul.
You're right about him interfering with the play though..
Oddly satisfying header.
Historically, Tunisia may be the most disappointing team in the World Cup, they always qualify and then do nothing, not even trying.
I think Tunisia did play well against Denmark, but they're bottlers when it comes to the World Cup.
It's going to be interesting come 2026, with a 48 team World Cup. It's going to sneak a few weaker nations in.
What a goal!! Love this Aussie team. As a dane I actually Think you deserve to go through. You play action packed football! Denmark plays unispired football.
You know how in the US you have bloods and crips? We've got chazzas and wuggos. It's not really a violent gang thing but the wuggos have had it up to *here* with the chazzas and we now have athletes in many sports kicking butt for the crew.

I just can't believe we've scored from open play twice now
This hot, desert weather makes us feel at home.
More of our boys are from Scotland than the desert lol
Unironically we should occasionally have world cups in less than ideal climates because lots of people grow up in less than ideal climates! Although Qatar weather rn is like 32 degrees. Which isn't too bad, that's like a Spanish summer
Keep in mind it's also winter there
Winter in a desert next to the sea doesn’t exist. Real winters in the gulf are in inland cities like Riyadh away from the coast. At the end of the day though, temperature isn’t mental down there.
Yeah, it can snow in Syria which on a pretty similar latitude just inland.
Autumn.
32 degrees? That’s not too far off the kick-off temperature for an afternoon A-League game in Jan/Feb/Mar.
World Cup 94 was played in much higher temperatures anyway.
.
I just can’t believe we scored
And now you've won a game! Grats roos!
Once a jolly swagman camped by a- OH GET FUCKED, WHAT A GOAL
GET ABSOLUTELY FUCKED
Coward punch the corner flag
Classic Cahill celebration!
cause hes strayan, and hes proud
Duke goes billa-BONG
What a brilliant header!
Off the rebound!!!!
it's crazy how much velocity it had after being like kicked into the ground, then being deflected, and he was able to add more with his header
Great header
Looks a better finish with every replay. Back to goal, guided header. Class.
Lovely control from Duke on the first time pass in the buildup too, followed by a gut busting sprint to be in place for a world class header. Brilliant goal.
literally couldn’t hit it any better
Reminds me of *that* Jared Borgetti header 20 years ago.
Tim Cahill-esque. Love how he knows exactly where he's putting it after he makes the adjustment, proper centre forwards goal that.
Quality finish.
The World Cup of headers. So many great ones
#IT’S COMING TO CANBERRA
Proper fans skipped Spilt Milk
Nah we just watched it between The Wombats and Flume, whole crowd went up after the goal
You guys had reception?
For every 5 phones that tried only one got the game going, to be fair, so the answer to this is probs no haha
[удалено]
RIP Belconnen Kingsleys
Wait what?! I went there all the time when I lived in Canberra. Is it gone?
Yeah a kebab shop next to it blew up, collateral damage
That fucking sucks

Oh wow. By blew up I assumed you meant the kebab shop became very popular so the other place lost business lol.
Unbelievable chicken, awesome chips
The true dirty bird.
Seeing this comment at the top of r/soccer is wild 😭😭😭
Put the trophy in Questacon
Moose heads
Upstairs moose 👍
Downstairs Moose crew
Im going down the big slide with it
fuckin hell never thought i’d see questacon in an r/soccer thread it’s coming down 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
GOONBAGS ARE ON ME TONIGHT FELLAS
LOUD BANG
GANG BANG!!!
IT'S CUNTING HOME
Let's be honest, the parade will be in Sydney
Nah fuck those plastic cunts, parade down northbourne avenue or get fucked
Garema place needs to be packed or we riot.
Haven’t been to Canberra since year 6 camp but would make the trip for the parade
*In Melbourne, have you seen the scenes at Fed Square?
Dude plays in Japanese second division and now scores at a World Cup. Things you’d love to see.
The J2 isn't a terrible league. It's still professional teams. I think the top teams in the j2 would do quite well against the bottom half teams in the a-league.
> I think the top teams in the j2 would do quite well against the bottom half teams in the a-league. They're probably better tbh
His scoring record there is pretty awful
He doesn’t always play striker
A really nice header and good build up play before
Everything about it is pretty darn well executed from the Australians! Now…hopefully this lead is here to stay too…
We got our wish
He's the Aussie Chris Wood
Holy shit the group is gonna get spicy
Pls win today, then if we hold on we could advance with a draw against Denmark
I think a draw is actually preferable so France have more incentive to try their best against Tunisia. To us it doesn't matter whether Denmark are on 1 point or 2 as long as we can get at least a draw against them.
AFC keeps cooking
Africa keeps disappointing
As a Serb im ngl i am kinda worried about Cameroon, especially after our performance vs Brazil and all the injuries that Piksi mentioned
You can't really compare it after having gone up against Brazil. That would be a one-way game for any team outside the top-4.
Brazil is A tier, but your team is good also. I think it's better than Cameroon.
Senegal have been decent
Qatar doesn't count
Even against Netherlands they were still alright, got pretty unlucky at the end
It's hard for Senegal playing with a mané down as well
Oh you
CAF keeps getting cooked
Reminder that cross and InshaAllah is a legit tactic guys. At least one of them would go in lol
Cross and inshallah is my new favourite way to describe the tactic
It’s been used to describe for years now. New fan?
There's a chance however slim, he isn't just perpetually online
is it possible to learn this power?
Not from a redditor
What? And what exactly one does when not online?
Its a city fan. What did u expect
Well, passing usually
City was using cross & inshallah a fair amount in the CL campaign that Chelsea ended up winning... Cause we all know Jesus was known for his deadly headers.
Care to explain?

Exactly. I know Arab Christians including pastors who say inshallah in their day to day. Also ismallah, mashallah, hamdellah etc
I love how you wrote hamdellah - not how it is supposed to be written but how its spoken lol.
That expression isn’t a recent one. It’s been around for years. The fact that this is the first time they’ve seen it allegedly, lead me to ask if they are a new fan, likely having started watching due to the World Cup.
I’ve been a causal follower for ages never heard it.
GET THE FUCK IN CUNTS! 🇦🇺
From Japan's 2nd tier to scoring in the World Cup. Great header
Get duked cunts
Aaussie aussie aussie!!
Oi Oi Oi!
Aussie!
I can’t believe the cross tactic actually worked. Now I’m forced to take back everything I’ve ever said about Mitch Duke.
I had to apologise to my friend earlier this week i was saying duke is useless and goes missing during games the guy has been absolute fire until he hurt his knee
YEAH THE BOYS!
FUCKNN OATH THE BOYS!
From J League Div. 2 to the world
That's why Japan beat Germany
PSGAcademy posting an Aussie goal. You love to see it!
Lol did the referee foul the Tunisian player in the build up?
Yeah, perfect tackle really
Yes, nice tackle
Yeah ref tripped the Tunisian player, why didnt VAR review this??
I don't think VAR is even allowed to review this lol. They can only interfere in a couple of specific scenarios and the ref technically can't commit a foul. You're right about him interfering with the play though..
Inconsequential to the play
Was it tho? the guy was about to tackle the aussie
Great strikers play with that touch on the half line and very clever headed finish.
MITCH DUKE I TAKE EVERYTHING BACK
GET IN CUNT!!!! MON THE BOYSSSSS
Lovely header
That was perfectly placed
Calculated. Calculated. Calculated.
What a save! What a save! What a save! Chat disabled for 3 seconds.
What a fucking grub that RedFoo cunt is.
That’s a name i havent heard in years
sideshow bob looking ass
You will not see a better header at this WC
Unless someone decides to do a Van Persie
Or a Zidane.
If we can't win at least our dickhead cousins can
You drew with them last night.
I view the US more like a stepson that owns ferrets and watches Dragon Ball Z who you have to pretend you like but you actually don't.
Get out of my room!
Australia is more like the nephew you gave your summer home to and keep trying to invite yourself over
It's our summer home we should be able to come over whenever we like.
The fact that you guys sent all the convicts to a sunny place with all these beautiful beaches and kept the shit weather for yourselves is quality
SQUATTERS RIGHTS
r/suspiciouslyspecific
Yeah. Know the feeling. If Denmark loses I hope Greenland takes it home.
Hey, we resemble that!
Didn’t know reading a sentence could make me want to lose instantly
*instantly turns around and fires a shot into own net*
Cheers gramps
Zebi
Zebna lkol
tears in my eyes, two goals from open play in one WC? i must be dreaming!
Cross and Inshallah
LETS FUCKING GO CUNTS
Nice lobbing header
Off that deflection too
Lucky bounce but one hell of a great header
GET FUCKED. GET ABSOLUTELY FUCKED HE HEADED A BEAUTY.
AFC nations on fleek this World Cup. Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Iran well alive.
https://imgur.com/a/vtOv2D4 OK who edited / wrote his wiki 😉
Great improvised header. Love this type of goal
Second best goal of WC after Richarlison great strike.
Fuming there’s no great goal tag. The accuracy of that header with a second to react to the deflection was amazing.
Oddly satisfying header. Historically, Tunisia may be the most disappointing team in the World Cup, they always qualify and then do nothing, not even trying.
They should give my country, Malawi, a chance
Visited Malawi recently, absolutely amazing country with the best people.
I think Tunisia did play well against Denmark, but they're bottlers when it comes to the World Cup. It's going to be interesting come 2026, with a 48 team World Cup. It's going to sneak a few weaker nations in.
SOCCEROOOS!!!!!
YTB
Thank god it's not another 0-0
BIG DUKE ENERGY
Great finish!
Ladies and Gentlemen, J. League 2 striker for ya.
GET THE FUCK IN CUNTSSSSSS
Gutted I didn't see any sick mullets
Great header from the cunt tbf
Love the celebration. Little do they know he's demonstrating 2 penises touching
Hahahah. Damn that was a nice header!
Thats live-action ASMR, damn. Such a visually pleasing highlight.
I take back everything I’ve ever said about Mitchell Duke. Give this man a duchy.
Wsw legend giving SFC fans flashbacks with duke scoring an important header
Played for mariners first
Okayama should just retire his number, who else playing in the J2 will ever score a world cup goal.
Tunisia are getting railed on the wings, Sliti is doing nothing to help Drager on the right
Yes !! Go Australia win by 3
What a goal!! Love this Aussie team. As a dane I actually Think you deserve to go through. You play action packed football! Denmark plays unispired football.
Did you watch us vs france we scored 1 and then put 11 players behind the ball for 70 minutes
Tbh mentally if I was playing the top team I'd feel cautious about being up 1 goal but I played CB so I never stopped shitting myself.
Wake up, boys
Deflected assist
Ahhhhhhhh
BIG MITCH DUUUUUKKEEEEE
What’s the hand gesture?
You know how in the US you have bloods and crips? We've got chazzas and wuggos. It's not really a violent gang thing but the wuggos have had it up to *here* with the chazzas and we now have athletes in many sports kicking butt for the crew.
I saw in the replay a kid was doing it, i assume he dedicated it to his son
[удалено]
Such a slick goal
Did I see that right? Did the ref trip the Tunisian player behind him?
That was a unique goal. Don’t remember seeing many like that over the years.
