This is a massive step forward for BJ, it shows he is now a month behind the times, which is a massive improvement to the 2 or 3 decades he usually is.

I’ve fallen victim to this a few times. Fox didn’t have the rights to the recent Ashes series so they just played replays of old series. Walking past it was easy to be deceived if the venue hadn’t switched over to 7.
It was only when I came back and the score didn’t make sense that I picked up on it.
You could put on golf and I would probably believe it’s soccer.
We need a !NotTheBetoota 😆
Enough of a bandwagon follower to know that the Matildas were playing Saturday afternoon. But not enough to know they were playing France.
It’s a bit telling to see how he uses social media, also. He appears to see it as a place to talk. Not a place to interact. Or he’d know that nobody else in the world was talking about a Matildas victory when he was.
The game he was watching a replay of was against France, it was just a friendly before the World Cup.
Joyce was at the Commercial Hotel in Walcha, and staff at the pub confirmed to Guardian Australia that Joyce did watch the wrong match.
“We hadn’t even realised until today that it was the wrong match. The crowd didn’t notice either, it’s been news to us.”
Looks like the whole pub was duped.
Yes, in the footage he uploaded to social media you can see about 30 other people watching the game.
I thought these conservative fucks were rallying against the Matildas cause they’re woke?
Not just that, they spark joy in the general population. Can’t have that old chap!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Then spare a thought for the former Australian deputy prime minister, Barnaby Joyce, who has revealed he watched the wrong Matildas World Cup match over the weekend.
As the entire country was holding its breath watching the Matildas win an agonising penalty shootout against France, the Nationals MP was celebrating what he thought was an easy victory.
At 7pm on Saturday night, around the time the Matildas were heading into extra time after 90 tense, goalless minutes, Joyce posted a video to Facebook from the pub he was at, declaring that “in every country pub, city club, suburban home they are doing this tonight.
“In Australia tonight, this is what’s happening,” Joyce says in the video, before panning the camera to show a group of people at a pub watching the wrong match.
In a TV appearance on Monday, Joyce admitted he’d watched the wrong match, saying he went off for dinner because he thought the Matildas had won 1-0.
“I know it was an incredible penalty shootout which we never [saw] – we went and had dinner because we thought they’d won 1-0,” Joyce told host Natalie Barr.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
