Hello, my name's Dan Colasimone and I will be following the Socceroos in Russia as they attempt to win the World Cup.

You may be triggered by that first sentence but no part of it is technically incorrect, so don't @ me.

Actually, do @ me, I'm here to answer any questions you might have, and will try to give you an insight to all the goings on in Kazan —where the Australian team is based — and from across Russia.

You'll be able to follow my updates through ABC's Facebook Messenger alerts, or just wander in here each day at around 5pm AEST. My boots will be on the ground from June 10.
