00:07Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
00:10So pumped, we're going to show the world that Australia is capable of.
00:14Fingers crossed, all the best for Aussie.
00:16My mother doesn't know I'm here, I'm going to get in trouble tomorrow morning.
00:21Come on Aussie!
00:23But Egyptian fans amongst the sea of green and gold were confident.
00:27I'm feeling it's a game, we're going to win the game.
00:30Do you want to win the game?
00:31Australia is the best player in the history of the world.
00:35At half-time, Aussie fans hadn't yet lost faith.
00:39First half were down, but I'm feeling hopeful, I'm feeling hopeful.
00:43And as the Socceroos scored their first goal, the crowd erupted.
00:52Tensions began to build as the game went to penalties.
00:56And when Egypt sealed the deal, it was heartbreak for Aussie fans.
01:01Good effort I suppose, but nothing you can do.
01:03Egypt played very well and got the better of us.
01:07A bit disappointing.
01:08On to the next.
01:09Argentina, Cape Verde, whoever wants it, we'll give it to you mate.
01:14As one side's World Cup dreams are quashed, another holding out hope to make it all the way.
