The World Cup is bubbling towards the knockout rounds with Group D next under the microscope as Australia scramble to qualify for the Round of 16.
Australia were placed in a tricky group but appear to be holding their own against stern opposition. If they avoid defeat against Denmark, they’ve essentially booked their place in the next round.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the World Cup 2022 Group D permutations ahead of a huge day in Qatar.
