Right across the country, workplaces, living rooms and pubs are currently talking about one thing and one thing only. The Soccer.

Australia's migrant communities have never been more valuable today, as casual football fans rely heavily on their ethnic expertise to explain what the hell is going on.

This comes as Australia's high-stakes FIFA World Cup clash against Paraguay gets underway in San Fran Cisco.

And, for the first time in history, every pub in Australia is broadcasting the SBS.

Australians are currently glued to their TV screens as a win or draw will send Australia through to Round of 32, yet a defeat could either end the Socceroos' campaign or leave them facing a potential tougher opponent in the knockout rounds.

For this reason, the sudden fans of Australian soccer are making sure they don't overlook any of the game's intricacies.

This is why it's important to be watching alongside an ethnic mate, who was raised with the world game, and can explain to you how offside works in this particular sport.

Also mate what's going on here with the ref, does he genuinely think that bloke got hurt, or is the diving just part of the game?
