The Australians equalled 2-2 to Croatia in Stutgart to end up second in Group F, five points behind Brazil's leader.

Croatia's Josip Simunic was charged with red card before the third yellow card was shown in the match.
Yeah, you read it straight. Justice Graham Poll failed to take him to the strip store after showing him the second yellow card four minutes earlier.
Justice was finally decided after he was given evacuation orders in the 93rd minute.
Unbelievable, isn't it? /Periscope. com/
