One win. That’s all the Socceroos need to qualify for a fifth straight FIFA World Cup when the side takes on Peru on Doha on Tuesday morning AEST.
After failing to auto qualify in the third round of AFC matches the Australian team was thrust into a fourth-round one-match play-off against the UAE who they beat 2-1 last week. Now they take on the fifth-ranked South American team in Peru in the inter-continental play-off to qualify for the World Cup.
Kick-off for the Socceroos vs Peru game at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, Doha is scheduled for Tuesday morning, June 14 at 4am AEST.
That’s 3:30am ACST for South Australians and 2am AWST for those in Western Australia.
Channel Ten and 10play have the rights for Socceroos friendlies and World Cup qualifying games.
Channel 10 can be found on free-to-air television or if you’d prefer to stream the action you can find the match on the 10 Play app which is available on mobile devices, internet browser or through various smart TVs.
It’s a simple scenario for both teams. Whoever wins qualifies for the World Cup in Qatar.
If it’s a draw after full-time there will be extra time played. If the teams are still deadlocked it will go to a penalty shootout to decide the winner.

I would take a pen shoot out as a bit of a victory.

Do I have to get up??? OK, strong black coffee and Socceroos scarf will keep the chill away.

As Ukraine showed, all the good will, passion and encouragement in the world can’t make up for a lack of quality players and team cohesiveness. Good luck boys. We’ll need it.
