"I have been quite impressed by trge Socceroos."

Should read:

I have been quite impressed by the Socceroos.

[notfornothing]

I was very surprised that they continued to play positively and press forward after the first goal. The conventional wisdom in that situation has to be to play defensively, not let the score get out of hand, and try to get a result against the Croatians.

Good on them for doing it.
