Demonstrators calling for a Gaza ceasefire head back up Sydney Road after protesting outside Peter Khalil's office. They later passed an informal motion calling on him to resign for "not mirroring our feelings and standing up for the values of the people of this land." @theage

Looking back, the best part of the tournament for me is that a team which endured the most arduous and isolating qualifying in memory - with the manager having to console players who felt Australia didn't care - got to create these scenes at Fed Square. Well deserved. #Socceroos
