“The national security threat that was represented by a Russian embassy on site are not the same as some bloke standing on a blade of grass on the site,” said Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. “That we don't see really as a threat to our national security.”

It took 20 penalties, multiple posts and French agony. It took the longest and wildest shootout in World Cup history, men’s or women’s. But at the end of a quarterfinal marathon, with 49,000 fans standing in Brisbane, Australia stormed into the 2023 Women’s World Cup semifinals in ecstasy. For 120 minutes on a Saturday evening, the nation had risen and fell with a back-and-forth game. After goal-line clearances and stunning saves somehow kept it scoreless, a penalty shootout offered up a lifetime of drama. Both keepers made saves. In Round 5, Mackenzie Arnold made a second, tipping Ève Périsset’s strike onto the post. Arnold herself then stepped up for a would-be winner — but also pinged the post. So on went the marathon. In Round 6, Grace Geyoro and Katrina Gorry powered in their penalties. In Round 7, France’s Sakina Karchaoui smashed hers in off the crossbar. In Round 8, Australia’s Ellie Carpenter snuck hers in off the left post. In Round 9, Arnold saved from Kenza Dali — but a video review annulled her heroics because her feet had left the goal line a split-second too soon. Then, on the retake, she denied Dali again, putting Australia on the brink of history. But French keeper Solène Durand, who’d entered the match as a 120th-minute substitute specifically for the shootout, kept out Clare Hunt’s would-be winner with a remarkably strong left hand.
