Is everyone ignoring the scale of Australia’s achievement?
Australia have managed to finish second in their group for 2 world cups in a row.
For context - the Australian squad (€77m) is worth less than Uzbekistan’s, and only slightly more than Cape Verde’s.
I get they’re a big country with strong sporting pedigree, but no one expected a team of nobodies to do this well again.
Have I got the wrong impression?
