A spirited performance from the Socceroos against France was not enough to prevent defeat and has seen their chances of advancement at the World Cup take a knock.

On a positive note, Sportsbet has trimmed their odds of winning their remaining fixtures after they held their own against the talented French.

Major betting changes:

• Socceroos drift from $23 out to $76 to win their group
• They also drift from $5.00 out to $6.00 to qualify from their group
• In from $6.00 to $5.50 to beat Denmark
• In from $3.75 to $3.50 to beat Peru

“For 81 minutes we stood tall and literally lost by the narrowest of margins, there’s lots to be hopeful about going into the next two games,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
