I think Kennedy deserves a special mention, as soon as he came on we were just DOMINATING that match. SO GOOD.

Yellow Cards could be an issue.....
More dangerous now is taking the so called 'lesser' teams easy. This is the first time we've played at this level for decades.
Aaaaah, kennas, just enjoy it for now. One more beer please!

We are THE multicultural society.

brother i think its tim cahill that deserves special mention; him and aloisi 1+1=3 goals
kennedy was okay but he didnt really create any chances; his one header was several feet wide from goal
we are in the drivers seat now; iv said from the outset that whoever won this game would have a GOOD CHANCE of going to round 2; a draw would pretty much rule us both out
4 points gives us an even better chance; and 5 will get us through
ideally brazil 2 win 2mrw; if croatia get a draw or better; could mean problems
but we could not have wished for a better start..

If we had a bunch of Aussie Rules players out there we would have won by 10 goals.

The difference between the football codes as described by.....hmmm can't remember who
Rugby - A mugs game played by gentlemen
Soccer - A gentlemans game played by mugs
Aussie rules - a mugs game played by mugs
But I agree with the latest cliche' - "soccer, the beautiful game"

3 - 1 against the 18th world ranked team.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!
A well deserved victory to the green and gold boys.
The first goal was a disgrace (not the first or last in world cup football -e.g. "hand of god goal" by Maradona). Obviously the referee (he can't be everywhere and see everything) missed it at the time but at least admitted he had made a mistake.
Wonder how long it will be before they introduce a video referee to this level of the game? Should be in use now IMO - if you have the technology - use it!
Nail biting second half where you could sense that Australia could score a goal or two with the domination they where pressuring Japan with.
A lot of teams will be more wary of Australia now - if they weren't before!
Irrespective of the future results of this campaign (we have a excellent chance of progressing to the next round) it is absolutely vital that Australia football builds on the success so far by:
1. Ensuring that we have a world class coach (Guus is a legend!!!) no matter what it costs.
2. We play internationals against the top teams on a regular basis and as often as possible.
3. Encourage sponsorship by corporate Australia - not for top dollar but for top exposure.
4. There must be a clear and continuous path for juniors starting as 6 year olds to become future Socceroos.
5. Make watching football in Australia family friendly and affordable.
6. Ensure that management is filled by experienced and passionate people with no outside agendas. People like Johnny Warren - a gentleman and Australian football legend - on and off the field (watch for a documentary on SBS soon).
Anyway, I'm sure others could add to that list.
Congrats to the Australian squad, Guus and Arnie and Football Australia.
Cheers

PS The Netherlands looked good too!!
