Even in relative Sokkahroos and international footy terms, PopoviΔ's tenure to this point has been an extraordinary showcase in xG terrorism.

Burgess's Australia Confirm World Cup Qualification #itfc #Socceroos #KSAvAUS #FIFAWorldCup #AsianQualifiers
That key difference, though, should be remembered for anyone wanting to read too much in us qualifying directly this time where we didn't then+22. Basically, it's undeniable that the bar was lower this time around β not through the extra places*, but Saudi being much worse this time around. #KSAvAUS
Whatever my lingering concerns, it's very nice to finally qualify directly ahead of the Saudis β especially when it's very much on the back of being gifted a Japan fixture when they're already qualified and not too bothered, given such a thing got the Saudis over the line in 2018 WCQ. #KSAvAUS
Gotta hand it to Tony Popovic - he took the deadest of horses, and somehow coaxed it back to life. π
Inevitably, the mightily big brains who run Australian football will want to sack him before he can have a long-term impact. #KSAvAUS
#KSAvAUS #Socceroos through to the World Cup in the United States!
The #socceroos are through to a 6th consecutive World Cup after defeating Saudi Arabia 2-1 this morning.
Huge achievement considering where they were when Tony Popovic took charge.
12 months of preparation is a big advantage for them now.

Teo for Sokkahroos matches. β
#KSAvAUS
Automatic qualification! Who wouldβve thought that after the horrendous first game at home vs Bahrain?
What an effort from Poppa and the players to turn it around and achieve this.
#KSAvAUS #Socceroos
VAR trying its hardest to give the Saudis some hope, and failing. π€£ #KSAvAUS
Happy 100th, Maty Ryan! Great save in a milestone game.
#KSAvAUS #Socceroos
BALL DON'T LIE.
#KSAvAUS #AsianQualifiers
#KSAvAUS great save there
Double save..
Goodness me
Top class keeping
#KSAvAUS
#KSAvAUS fair enough, looked like a pen to me
Wins the ball and outside the box #KSAvAUS
Final 15 minutes, weβre qualified, got to say Popa has been a decent appointment
#KSAvAUS
Love the Toure sub!
McGree to get us some possession.
#KSAvAUS
If your VAR decision is taking upwards of 5 minutes to make a decision then it's not a "clear and obvious" error.

Okay 11 men then #KSAvAUS
