Socceroos fans flock to Federation Square as Australia holds its breath for the nation’s BIGGEST football game with Graham Arnold’s side taking on Lionel Messi’s Argentina at the World Cup
Socceroos fans have once again descended upon Federation Square once again to bear witness to one of the biggest matches in Australian football history at the World Cup.
Graham Arnold’s side were widely written off before a ball was even kicked in Qatar, with a group containing France, Denmark and Tunisia regarded as too strong for his plucky underdogs.
