Socceroos / Matildas / World Cup / Asian Cup

Croatia are looking pretty good. Unfortunately I think the result will be more like 3-0. Hopefully the Japs will play better againts the Cro's and get us the draw we need.
What I'd like to see MT, is at least a draw against Brazil. I've jagged the Monday off from work so I can't wait. I'm hoping the Brazilians are overconfident and haven't done their homework on us and we at least slug out a 0-0 draw.

Was Ronaldo the one who said he couldn't name one Socceroo? Hopefully the other Brazilian players take us similarly for granted. In the MX yesterday that had the Brazilian coach saying he wasn't surprised we won as we had knocked out Uruguay. The Croatia-Japan game is before ours so we'll know what we'll have to do.

2-0 flattered England although Gerrard produced another beauty (a la FA Cup style). They were pushed all the way by Trinidad and could have been behind at half-time if Terry didn't save off the line.

Geez I would love us to last long enough in the comp to play them.

We're giving them too much possession in our own half but 0-0 with 30 mins gone is fine by me.

Kewell does a Richo
What a chance missed

[mightytiges]

Stuffed up two chances  . All Kewell had to do was hit it along the ground  ??? and it was a goal.

[Moi]

Phew 

[mightytiges]

10 minutes to pull off another miracle.

[mightytiges]

How close was Viduka  . Just can't finish off our good chances  .
