‘Now these guys are heroes’: Socceroos bound into last-16 date with Argentina

Mathew Leckie’s goal sank Denmark in a 1-0 win as Australia finished second in their group – now Lionel Messi’s side await in this Qatar odyssey

The Melbourne sky was red with the flares of Federation Square, a heaving party of thousands in the dead of night on a Thursday that exploded in euphoria with the swing of Mathew Leckie’s left boot. In Sydney’s CBD, patrons in a handful of packed pubs spilled out on to George Street as the forward raced off in celebration and then “got slapped in the head about 100 times” by teammates.

For Australia, that goal is immediate sporting folklore. It is the goal that sank Denmark. It is the one that captured those three precious points, the one to seal back-to-back World Cup wins for the first time in the nation’s history, and the one to confirm a place in the round of 16 not achieved in 16 years.

Elon Musk’s satellites to be part of UK trial to get internet to remote areas

The Starlink technology uses more than 3,000 low Earth small orbit satellites to beam broadband signals

Elon Musk’s satellite Starlink technology is to be part of a UK government trial to get better internet connectivity to remote parts of the country.

The technology, which uses more than 3,000 low Earth orbit small satellites to beam a broadband signal and is operated by the firm SpaceX, will initially be trialled at three remote locations – Rievaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire Moors national park, Wasdale Head in the Lake District and two sites within Snowdonia national park, the government said.

Gareth Southgate and England thrive on trust and confidence in Qatar

Fans stuck by England after another tame start, and patience on and off the pitch proved key to their eventually stylish progress

In a parallel universe – say at Wembley or Molineux – Harry Maguire rumbles forward and keeps on going to the fringes of the penalty area. It is 0-0, half an hour gone and England are labouring.

Maguire does not give the impression that he has the ball entirely under his spell. Or that he knows what he is going to do next. It is chaotically off the cuff. He simply puts his head down and shoots. It zings out for a throw-in on the far side.

Aymeric Laporte: ‘I’m not a football addict. I don’t like watching matches’

The defender discusses Spain’s World Cup ambitions, being better at table tennis than predictions and helping Rodri at centre-half

Aymeric Laporte is having a terrible World Cup, but he doesn’t care. He also has a convenient excuse, or so he claims: there is someone else to blame. At the Spain camp, where the players set off for training pitch No 3 by scooter each morning, they have organised a predictions league for the tournament. On the eve of the selección’s third game – and, no, no one went for 7-0 against Costa Rica – leading the way is Fernando Giner, the team delegate. Top of the players is Gavi. The Manchester City defender is down at the bottom.

“Not great,” he says, then quick as a flash he adds: “But the thing is, I’m not doing it myself. Someone’s doing it for me.” Who? “I can’t say.” Laporte cracks up. Betting is not really his thing, he says, and nor it turns out is football. He loves playing, but this is different. In the TV room, five or six players gather for every game; he isn’t often one of them. “I’m not a football addict. Honestly, I don’t like watching matches,” he admits. He’s seen enough, though, to know one thing: there isn’t a team better than Spain.

It’s been a joy watching the World Cup with my kids. Just don’t tell them it’s not live | Adam Liaw

My kids might not be the next Ronaldo (or Leckie) but a love of sport is about so much more than that

Last week I woke my two eldest children (aged six and nine) at midnight to watch a soccer match between Japan and Germany in the World Cup. It was a bad idea, and I’m a bad dad. The tiredness-induced meltdowns later that evening were monumental.

This morning we watched Australia v Denmark on delay. I lied and told them it was live. Lying to your kids is fine. Go Socceroos.
