A sterling performance from both teams, but there could only be on winner. Australia is through to the semi-finals on the back of a relentless effort and two moments of Tim Cahill magic.
The Socceroos played their best match in a long time. They completely dominated this match and dished out a 4-0 hiding. Do we need to recalibrate what they're capable of and how far they can go in this tournament?
From the perspective of results, this was the perfect start for Australia. There's still work to do, not least managing the expectations of supporters, but you'd take this any day.

One of the better episodes rounds off this season. This Christmas special was very Christmassy with Santa making a strong cameo. The storyline was solid, although the many influences were a little hard to ignore.

This episode began with a thoroughly disturbing theory of the afterlife, settled into a standard episode and then blew me away with an astonishing revelation and a great cliffhanger.

An atmospheric, as opposed to frightening, episode that stands up well. The Earth is covered in trees that have sprung up overnight. The Doctor, Clara and Danny find out why.
