Happy Thursday everyone, and welcome to December. Wednesday was a wild one, particularly at the World Cup, so let’s get into it.

Australia had a stunning win over Denmark to qualify for the knockout stage for just the 2nd time in its history. It set off wild celebrations at 3am in Melbourne. France will join them as Group D winners in the Round of 16.

In an incredible set of matches in Group C, Mexico beat Saudi Arabia and had a chance to advance to the Round of 16, but fell short. Argentina wins the group, while Poland finishes in 2nd.
