KAZAN, Russia (Reuters) - The VAR penalty that helped France defeat Australia in their World Cup opener was the "strangest" moment of Mile Jedinak's career, the Socceroos captain said on Sunday.

The Australia midfield stalwart was left bamboozled after defender Josh Risdon was penalised on review for bringing striker Antoine Griezmann down during the 2-1 loss at Kazan Arena on Saturday.
