WEBVTT - Socceroos roar into World Cup knockout stage

0:00:01.760 --> 0:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm Christinamiott with the

0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Front's afternoon headlines. The soccer us will progress to the

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>round of thirty two in the twenty twenty six FIFA

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>World Cup after drawing against Paraguay in the group stage

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 1>on Friday Australian time.

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 2>And there it is another high point of a soccer

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:27.639
<v Speaker 2>use World Cup journey. For third time I've qualified for

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 2>the knockout phase.

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Left back Jordan Boss narrowly missed his chance to win

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>it outright for the soccer Ruse in the ninetieth minute.

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Bossy he squeeze between the two of them, explodes into

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 2>the box yet again on his left foot, but just

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get around the defender and into that back post.

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 2>What he's been our most likely playing on that right

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>hand side.

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>It was a game marred by drama with Paraguay and

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>midfielder Diego Gomez picking up his second yellow card for

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a foul against Boss. Means he won't play for his

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>country if they progress to further round.

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Jordy Boss and that's a cynical tackle. It's gonna be

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 2>a yellow card. And I think mister Kirkbun's patients has

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 2>run out.

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:18.199
<v Speaker 1>Australian midfielder Connor Metcalf also required some patching up after

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 1>copying a boot to the face. Coach Tony Popovich made

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>a handful of changes to the Soccero's starting side going

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>into the final match of the group stage. Australian fans

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>turned out to watch the match across the country on Friday,

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.759
<v Speaker 1>with Sydney Ciders and Melbournians braving the rain to see

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the Socceroo's inch closer to World Cup glory. The draw

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>has Australia finishing second in the group stage, with the

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Socceroos to face Egypt, Iran, Belgium or New Zealand in

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the knockout stage. On Friday July three at Los Angeles

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Stadium in Inglewood, Turkey defeated the United States by one goal,

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>but won't move to the round of thirty two as

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the US already secured their spot with back to back wins.

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Carl Stefanovick has declared he's free after nine confirmed his

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>immediate departure from the Network and the Today Show, which

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>is anchored for two decades.

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 3>Hey guys, some weaker so unfree, truly independent. It wasn't

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 3>easy this last couple of days, but we roll on.

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 3>So here's what I believe in the public deserve to

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 3>hear perspective. You have the right to hear from different voices.

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 3>Freedom of speech here and around the world is what

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 3>this show is about. You don't have to listen to

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 3>my show. You have the power. You are smart enough

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 3>to make up your own mind.

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>In a statement released on Thursday, Morning, Nine said the

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>breakup was mutual, with both sides agreeing it wasn't viable

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>for Stefanovick to continue hosting Today along his independently produced podcast.

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>It comes after an episode of The Karl Stefanovick Show

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 1>featuring far right activist Tommy Robinson was published and then

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>swiftly deleted from the show's YouTube and social media channels.

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 1>There was six months remaining on Stefanovick's one million dollar contract.

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>In an internal email to staff, nine's national news boss,

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Fionna Dere said Night's management will quote share more on

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>their plans for the Today Show very soon. A peace

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>agreement in the Middle East and cheap airline tickets have

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>prompted a surge in tourist flights through the region en

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 1>route to Europe. According to Flight Center, bookings with Katar Airways,

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Emirates and Ettie had have jumped by more than thirty

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>percent since travel warnings for the Middle East were downgraded.
