Several users reacted to the Australia kangaroo video

After the kangaroo Australia video gained popularity, several users reacted to the viral video. One Twitter who watched the episode joked that if the opposition team was called the kangaroos, he would ask the referee to take a headcount. Another user cheekily tweeted a scouting report of the animals in reference to the viral video. He wrote how the scouting report of the kangaroos invading the field would reveal that they are lethal with either foot and have an excellent vertical leap. He concluded by saying that the downside would be that they can get a bit lazy and have a limited wingspan. One of the fans also tweeted that looking at the viral video, he was a bit jealous of New South Wales since Australian football is back. Referring to the kangaroos football video, he said something like that could happen only in Australia.
