Jordy Bos does not look well here. He was carried off the pitch after that contact to his knee.

Socceroos assistant coach Paul Okon slammed the officiating at half-time.

“Terrible tackle. The referee paid advantage, but he doesn’t come back and book the player,” Okon told SBS.

You’d imagine the Aussies will need to make a substitution at half-time here.

Jordy Bos has been down for a few minutes here after a heavy tackle. Naturally, nothing from the referee.

Replay shows he was tackled heavily. Hopefully he’s alright. It’s half-time now in Texas. Ref let time run out on the half rather than call anything.

Meanwhile Egyptian players are getting the whistle for their flopping.

They lead 1-0 at HT.

A deep cross into the box creates a chance, but Egypt manage to get the ball away, thanks in part to some heavy defensive work on Cristian Volpato.

Luke Wilkshire reckons he was “rugby tackled at the back post”. Replay seems to agree.

Very nearly a hand-ball too.

Socceroos have had chances, but haven’t capitalised yet.

Egypt draws a free kick through Ashour from some incidental contact to the face, thanks to a nice dive to the floor...

Luke Wilkshire not copping it. Calls them out for “milking everything” and says the referee’s call was “disappointing”.

They’ve been doing it all game. Wilkshire calls it an “experienced” move.

Two more flops he then slammed as “time-wasting” in the time writing this post. Tough watch.

DALLAS: We have our first hydration break ... in the air-conditioned stadium. There’s no surprise it’s copped some boos from the crowd.

A disappointing quarter for the Socceroos after a bright start. When Cristian Volpato hit the post in the early minutes it looked like we were going to see intent from the green and gold.

However, that soft goal where Ashour was left unmarked at the back post has really sucked the life out of the team. Egypt had another close chance in the proceeding minutes and looked incredibly dangerous.

As the hydration break draws to an end, a big cheer sounds across the stadium because Samuel L. Jackson just popped up on the big screen.
