i was 16. i was in sunderland. i remember this final being one of the worst of all time. negative match, argentinians diving and scamming at every opportunity. Two players sent off. game decided by a single penalty - pure tosh

how about them socceroos. japan score one of the cheapest goals in history by barging the goal keeper out of the way of the ball.
socceroos score in the 84th minute, 89th minute and 92nd minute to win 3-1. australia actually looked better than any team i've seen. they had more possesion, over 3x as many shots, and had better opportunities.

watching Nedved and Rosicky free-wheeling around that midfield was about as fun as it's been so far... nice game.
anyone know how bad Baros' injury is? looks like he'd be handy to have if Koller needs to sit a game or two.

australia 3, japan 1
good result, especially because japans goal shouldn't have been given
we scored 3 goals in the last 9 minutes or so, after apparantly dominating (I don't have a tv, so i can't watch the games)..
next brazil, and then the big game against croatia on the 22nd

australia played fantastic. viduka was incredible in the first half, and we had far more and better quality opportunities going forward, shot count was something like 25-5 in favour of australia.
we got a few too many yellow cards, and we were prone to the counter attacks the japanese attack.
the japanese goalie denied a few very good shots from the australians, especially from free kicks, i thought they'ld never get the ball past.
czech republic completly owned though, they were fast and aggressive, even when they weren't in possesion, i really enjoyed watching them play, at 4am when i had an 8 hour shift of work starting just 5 hours after. :D

I haven't seen the match, I only know how they played in the practise match against Holland. They played hard and straightforward.
They might be doing what South Korea did 4 years ago as Hiddink seem to have the ability to get the best out of a group and they will not give up easily as they experienced that a match isn't decided until the time is over. This will give them will power in the last 15 minutes of a match, even if they are 2 goals behind.
