Denmark, meanwhile, watched as Peru controlled action for much of their opener, but managed to win 1-0 anyway. Australia’s loss illustrated its ability to hang in there against solid teams, and striker Tomi Juric remains optimistic. “I think [assistant coach and former AC Milan midfielder] Mark van Bommel got a text message from one of his former teammates, Thiago Silva, complimenting us on how well we played against a top opposition,” Juric told reporters.
