Live from Sydney, this is Seven News with Michael Usher and Angie Asimus.
10
Well good evening, there was no knockout punch, no heroic goal, but we saw true Aussie grit today,
11
dressed in green and gold that put the nation's pulse rate into dangerous territory.
12
The Socceroos' nil-all draw with Paraguay was enough to see us
13
through to the elite knockout phase of the World Cup for only the third time.
14
Now, anything is possible.
15
Far from a classic by any means, but no one in the Socceroos camp will complain, with a spot in the World Cup knockout stage officially locked in.
16
I think overall we deserved it.
17
We were all very good today.
18
It was a wonderful performance.
19
Now we go to Dallas and we'll try and do something special.
20
They say everything's bigger in Texas, but is Dallas ready for this?
21
A sea of green and gold pre-game given a police escort through the streets of Santa Clara.
22
I love them, I love them.
23
I'll be cheering for you.
24
Don't tell anyone.
25
Thousands of Australians march to the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium.
26
Lowest prices are just the beginning!
27
Yeah!
28
Let's go to me!
29
The equation?
30
Simple for both Australia and Paraguay.
31
Draw and you're in.
32
That didn't stop Connor Metcalf putting his body and face on the line.
33
Bruised and bloodied, but playing on.
34
Chances were hard to come by until the final minutes.
35
Geordie Boss!
36
Oh, this is just right at the back upright.
37
Australia and Paraguay.
38
Deluxe!
39
And absolute relief there for the Socceroos.
40
No goals, but the draw suited both teams to a tee, and most of the fans.
41
I can't believe how good that Neil Ordoer was.
42
I've never loved him more.
43
He only needed a draw.
44
We got a draw.
45
We're going to Dallas, so we shouldn't complain.
46
We were very defensive.
47
I wish I could get my $2,000 back, honestly.
48
That draw was enough to ensure that the Socceroos move out of the group stages and into the round of 32.
49
It might have been a draw, but these fans are celebrating it like it was a win.
50
The knockout game in Dallas will be played in the early hours of next Saturday, Australia time.

54
The Socceroos will find out tomorrow who their opponents in the round of 32 is going to be.
55
They'll play whoever comes second in Group G.
56
Right now, that could be Belgium, Egypt, Iran or even New Zealand.
57
The world number 10 ranked Belgians are the most likely.
58
But as we have seen so far in this World Cup, anything can happen.
59
That is very true.
60
Thank you very much, Rob.
61
Well, they didn't give us the day off, but it sure looked like everyone in Sydney took it anyway.
62
And no one was getting into trouble for wagging work to watch the Socceroos in action.
63
School kids too were glued to TV screens, pubs were packed and our live site's heaving.
64
A long way from California, Australia's big sickeroo.
65
Paying off big time.
66
Towers of beer, almost as big as Socceroos defender Harry Souter.
67
Going down easy at the Sporting Globe in Darling Harbour.
68

Alma Mater!

92
Less than the entire population of this Socceroos mad pub.
93
All 850 of us.
94
We found one of them in Sydney's west.
95
If you're from Paraguay, please join me.
96
I don't want to be alone.
97
Our next opponent we don't yet know, but Australia's bosses won't get in the way early next Saturday morning.

116
At least 235 people are now confirmed dead in the tragedy.
117
Thousands more are injured and the numbers will only keep going up.
118
Tonight, the heartbreak of loss seems greater than the hope more people will be found alive.
119
The twin earthquakes hit like a double punch.
120
Tonight, new video of the moment's Venezuela began falling apart.
121
Just as the shaking stopped from the first quake,
122
The second one hit even harder.
123
We all rushed out onto the streets whilst this was happening.
124
The buildings were shaking.
125
The earthquake lasted what felt like a really long time.
126
And somehow there are survivors.
127
The challenge, getting them out.
128
The rescue and recovery effort in some parts organised.
129
In others, it is haphazard.

Here, they yell names.
131
Desperately hoping loved ones are alive.
132
I lost my daughter, my grandson and my granddaughter who was due to be born in a month.

141
At least 4,700 are injured.
142

143
This, what remains of two tower blocks.

Venezuela, already mired in poverty and corruption, must now somehow deal with a historic natural disaster.
145
We're talking about a country that has absolutely broken infrastructure after years of mismanagement.
146
International reinforcements are being sent in.
147
The Australian government is committing support too.
148
The community here knows it won't be enough.
149
The toll of the people that we lost is never going to be healed.
150
We're never going to recover from this.
151
Even with all the help in the world, they know life in Venezuela will never be the same again.
152
Hewitt Feld, 7 News.
153
As his friends and colleagues shed tears for him here in Sydney, Sacked Today show host Carl Stefanovic was clicking his heels together with joy in London.
154
The bitter divorce between Carl and Channel 9 is now official and nasty.
155
Hey guys, some weaker.
156
On the other side of the world and off the air.
157
Or as Karl Stefanovic put it...
158
So I'm free.
159
Truly independent.
160
As his former colleagues reported the shake-up with today.
161
He's our mate and he's our colleague and it goes without saying that Karl's presence will be missed.
162
Two decades, he's a long time.
163
An awkward goodbye.
164
So as Dickie said, we wish you all the best.
165
Thank you.
166
Yeah, it's a tough, tough day.

169
to continue hosting today at the same time as his independent podcast, turbocharged by this week's interview with a far-right British activist.
170
You have the right to hear from different voices.
171
Freedom of speech here and around the world is what this show is about.
172
Which is bullst.
173
This is not a freedom of speech issue.
174
This is a zero journalism issue.
175
That's a matter for Karl Stefanovic to think about his actions and the decisions that he's made.
176
The world's richest man, Elon Musk, weighing in with, wow, Stefanovic replying, free speech is important, thanks for the platform, Elon.
177
He's only three weeks into a new Friday afternoon radio gig, today from co-host Eddie Maguire.
178
Carl asked to take leave because of the intense negotiations and reactions to his controversial podcast with Tommy Robinson.
179
Gold FM owner ARN, after months embroiled in controversy over former stars Kyle and Jackie O, says Carl's future is yet to be decided.
180
With speculation now, like Kyle and Jackie O, Carl Stefanovic could look at legal action against his former employer for wrongful dismissal.
181
His contract with Nine said to be still worth around a million dollars.
182
Still a presence on this Channel 9 screen at its Sydney HQ.
183
Wait for it.
184
There and gone.
185
I don't know what I'm going to do.
186
But I'll figure it out.
187
Paul Kadak, 7 News.

199
Hill nursing home overnight has spent the day being questioned by detectives.
200
Police say she administered her mother an unknown substance before her death.
201
They're now trying to work out what it was and why it was given.
202
Our Lady of Consolation is home to more than 300 elderly residents, but last night one death saw police called in.
203
Well at the moment there's a crime scene at that location.
204
An 84 year old woman died just before midnight.
205
With her was her daughter and 9 grandson.
206
The 53-year-old female allegedly administered a substance to the older woman.
207
That 53-year-old female was placed under arrest.
208
Questioned before being released without charge, police have more theories than answers.
209
It's really too early to determine what the motivation, whether it was an assisted dying scenario, we really don't know.
210
Another possibility being Being examined is
211
that the woman gave her mother the substance as a desperate home remedy to try to cure her multiple illnesses including cancer.
212
The centre saying it's distressed by the death of our resident and thoughts are with their family and loved ones.
213
We are continuing to work with the police.
214
Figuring out exactly what happened last night is now an investigation that will likely take months.
215

216
We don't know exactly what that substance is at the moment or whether that contributed to her passing last night.
217
Andrew Denny, 7 News.
218
Fed up with being sidelined by One Nation, the opposition have laced up in a soccer inspired video to criticise the budget's tax changes.
219
But with the first half of them now law, the government wants to give the social media ban more teeth.
220
We've got a plan to get Australia back on the front foot.
221
Hitching the wagon to Socceroos mania, the opposition on social media.
222
Labor's toxic taxes deserve a red card.
223
But the negative gearing and capital gains tax measures that drove a post-budget outcry have now passed Parliament.
224
Both the Treasurer and Prime Minister suggesting anger around the changes will now fade.
225
Some of the nonsense and scare campaigns will dissipate because people will be confronted with the reality.
226
He can only hope a bruising six-week fight for the budget's centrepiece tax measures is now in the rearview mirror.
227
Already the Prime Minister is pushing an alternative issue.
228
He wants to extend his government's world first under-16 social media ban.
229
It's not been as effective as I think everyone wanted it to be.
230
This week,
231
the University of Newcastle published data suggesting 86% of under-16s continued to use restricted social media in the ban's first three months.
232
But Wayne Holdsworth is still applauding.
233
It's an overwhelming success in my eyes because it is saving children.
234
Wayne's son, Mac, took his own life after falling victim to an online extortion scam.
235
Now Wayne Holdsworth says the government should double to $100 million potential fines for breaches by big tech companies.
236
They have failed.
237
They still have blood on their hands.
238
They haven't washed that off.
239
And you can expect the government to say more on potential changes to the social media ban in coming days.
240
There's a widespread belief here that the big tech companies behind the platforms simply don't take Australian laws seriously.
241
Of course, getting them to is a pretty big ask.
242
Also in coming days, the government is likely to tell you plenty about changes slated for next Wednesday.
243
That's July 1st. Everything from tax cuts to a new veterans wellbeing agency.
244
Tim Lester, thank you.
245
Serial jailbird Salim Mahaja is back in the hands of Sydney police who are quizzing him on a letterbox theft.
246
Mahaja, who turned 40 this month, was arrested in Parramatta this afternoon after a Lidcombe resident reported missing and damaged mail.
247
The former councillor was paroled from jail this time last year after serving three years for fraud and domestic violence.
248
A shark's been spotted at Bondi Beach for the fourth day in a row.
249
The predator, possibly a whaler, was seen lurking close to shore around 8.30 this morning.
250
The shark alarm ringing out.
251
All beaches along the eastern suburbs were closed.
252
Time to check the weather now with Angelique Opian.
253
Angela, cold and drizzly end to the week.
254
Yeah, Michael, Angie, good evening.
255
Light falls across Sydney, but there were moments when the low-lying grey clouds gave way to sunshine this morning.
256
Brief, but a pleasant surprise.
257
Heavier rain overnight, 24 hour totals of 17 mils at Rose Bay, 19 at Cronulla, wet in the Blue Mountains and for parts of the Central Coast too.
258
Staying dry for now, 16 the top today under grey skies, 12 to start, felt closer to 9 degrees in westerly winds.
259
More wet and unstable weather will impact parts of inland New South Wales this weekend.
260
Still looking overcast in Sydney, I'll have all those details later on.

Why practice speaking with this video?

If you’re looking to learn English with YouTube, this video about the Socceroos heading to Dallas for the World Cup is an excellent choice. The context of sports is familiar to many, making it relatable and engaging for learners. Speaking about sports allows for rich vocabulary and expressions that can enhance your conversational skills.

Practicing speaking using this video can help you simulate real-life conversations, improving your fluency in a fun way. The excitement of the match, combined with the commentary, provides a dynamic backdrop that can motivate you. By engaging with the content, you'll not only be practicing vocabulary but also intonation and rhythm as you imitate the market commentary style. Remember, using the shadowing technique, where you repeat what you hear in real-time, can significantly boost your confidence and speaking abilities.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

In the video, several key grammatical structures and expressions stand out, useful for learners:

  • Present continuous tense: Phrases like "the Socceroos are heading to Dallas" highlight ongoing actions, which help convey a sense of immediacy and excitement. This is a vital structure in English when discussing future plans.
  • Passive voice: The expression "the body of a Winston Hill's mother was found" illustrates how passive voice can be effectively used to shift focus from the doer to the action and its result, which is common in news reporting.
  • Simple past tense: Sentences such as "Australia and Paraguay drew" use the simple past to relay past events, essential for storytelling and reporting in English as well.
  • Expressions of opinion: Phrases like "I think overall we deserved it" provide insight into how to convey personal feelings and judgments, a critical component of engaging in discussions.

Common Pronunciation Traps

While watching the video, be attentive to several pronunciation challenges that might arise:

  • Words ending with "-ough": The word "through" can be pronounced in different ways, and the Australian accent may present variations that are tricky for learners.
  • Compound nouns: Words like “Socceroos” may confuse learners due to their unique formation. Practice saying these smoothly in conversation to gain confidence.
  • Connected speech: Phrases such as "Let's go to me!" can be difficult because native speakers often link words together, making it harder to understand. Imitating the way the speaker delivers these phrases can be beneficial for your own speech.

Incorporating these elements into your English speaking practice can significantly enhance your overall communication skills. Use the techniques from this video to not just watch, but also speak, listen, and engage actively with the language!

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
