Will someone tell me what was jap keeper thinking coming forward to catch that throw-in that resulted in aussie equalizer? :smack:

Japs were lucky to get a controversial goal.

Guus hiddink magic works everywhere I guess.

Re: World Cup - Group F

Aussies deserved to win this one, they played better in the first half and yet Japs got the lead with controversial goal.

Well done Aussies..........Is there any sport they aren't good at????:D

Re: World Cup - Group F

Australia were the better team than Japan from my vantage point, but they certainly didn't dominate the game. Instead, the game went back and forth, with Japan at times looking more threatening while Australia looked more threatening at other times. Indeed, it was a pretty entertaining game in part because it did have this see-saw element to it.

While Australia's victory was not undeserved, the scoreline flattered Australia. If I could pick the score that would more accurately tell the story of this game, it would be something like 3:2. That score would tell you of Australia's advantage while making sure no one imagines it was some one sided affair. It wasn't.

Re: World Cup - Group F

great chances for brazil...ronaldinho and roberto carlos are dangerous with this ball!!!!

Re: World Cup - Group F

There were huge cheers for Ronaldinho when his name was announced. Everytime he gets the ball, stadium erupts. :-)

Re: World Cup - Group F

Croatia is giving hard time to Brazil the score is still 0/0 and Croatia missed few chances to score.

Re: World Cup - Group F

Kaka Sipahi strikes!

Re: World Cup - Group F

Finally Brazil strikes

Re: World Cup - Group F

As much as I hate to admit it, Brazil is playing really well in terms of the constant attacks. They aren't giving up!

I am also impressed by Croatia's defence. I hope the Brazilians are unable to break through.
