One of the few Socceroos fans who made the 12,400 kilometer trek to Qatar for the World Cup gave a hilarious reaction when he realized he was on TV during Australia's defeat by France.<br /><br />A smattering of Socceroos fans made their voices heard at Al Janoub Stadium in Al-Wakrah on Wednesday morning (Tuesday night local time) as Graham Arnold's side fell to a 4-1 defeat by the reigning champions.<br /><br />As is customary with World Cup coverage, the host broadcaster tends to pan to the crowd during the game, showing a sea of color as fans from all over the world cheer on their teams.<br /><br />But one Socceroos supporter looked slightly apprehensive when he realized he was being shown on television, with eagle-eyed viewers noticing him mouth the words:<br /><br />It is not yet known why the fan was so concerned about being spotted live on television. <br /><br />Approximately 7,000 fans have travelled to the Middle East for the tournament, with Australia qualifying thanks to a penalty shootout victory over Peru earlier this year. <br /><br />And for 27 minutes, Socceroos supporters were dreaming of the impossible after Adelaide star Craig Goodwin gave the underdogs a shock lead over the reigning world champions in Al-Wakrah.<br /><br />Goodwin provided a sumptuous finish to complete a stunning team move that left the French shell-shocked, but despite a battling effort from their defence, the Socceroos were unable to hold on and fell to a 4-1 defeat. <br /><br />Australia return to action on Saturday when they take on Tunisia in Group D, knowing that a win will give them a chance of reaching the knockout stages.
