Charlie Austin has rowed back on his World Cup predictions, suggesting that critics, himself included, needed to to take a long hard look at themselves after the Socceroos reached the Round of 16.

Mathew Leckie scored the only goal of the game on Thursday morning (AEDT) as Australia beat Denmark 1-0 to finish second in Group D and qualify for the knockout stages for the first time since 2006 and for only the second time in their history.

And Austin was very impressed by what he saw.
