Australia national football team Socceroos defender Jason Geria has called on school principals to show the team's final World Cup group match against Paraguay. The match is set to take place on Thursday in San Francisco, which is Friday AEST.

What's at stake?

Australia national football team Socceroos is close to progressing to the next stage, but a win against Paraguay would solidify their position. Geria emphasized that the team will not be seeking a draw, stating that it would be unfair to the game.

The team's mindset

'I think you're cheating the game in a way if you're looking to just call a truce with 10 minutes to go – that doesn't seem right in my opinion,' Geria said. The team is focused on winning the match and moving forward in the tournament.

The impact of support

Geria believes that having the support of schools and fans will make a significant difference in the team's performance. 'Let them watch it ... 12pm on a Friday, it doesn’t get much better than that leading into the weekend, so if they could let their employees or let their students watch, I think that would be amazing,' Geria urged. | Team | Match | Date | | --- | --- | --- | | Australia national football team Socceroos | vs Paraguay | Thursday (Friday AEST) | The team is counting on the support of their fans to drive them forward in the World Cup
