Title: Croatia vs. Austrailia - who gets through?
sir matchstickmen - June 22, 2006 11:06 AM (GMT)
Croatia have to beat Austrailia to get through at the Aussies expense. Will they do it?
To add some spice, there are strong Aussie-Croat connections, with many members of the Aussie squad from or descending from Croatia, and vice-versa!
Hiro will hate the fact i've discounted Japan's chances, but they are never going to beat Brazil in a million years lets be honest! roflmao

I did have a small bet on Australia to win the game but its not looking to good at the moment.

We ended up with a draw - what a match that was!
the Croats took the lead with a great free kick then it see-sawed through to 2-2 and the Aussies qualifying, with three red cards - including one for simunic which Graham Poll only issued after giving him THREE yellow cards! roflmao

Yeah, Graham Poll (English ref) might just have ruined his chances of reffing the final now! roflmao
Alli - June 23, 2006 09:55 AM (GMT)
I think it is safe to say he has no chance of reffing the final based on that performance

It was an extraordinary match I have to say.
Australia should have had three penalties, not one, the Kewell goal was offside apparently, and of course the red card fiasco!
He also should have sent off Srna when the first croat red card came out, considering he was manhandling him in his protests! roflmao

that's about right Sam :doh: still, a good result :D and maybe a new trivia question
sir matchstickmen - June 23, 2006 10:56 AM (GMT)
I have to say, I fancy Austrailia to turn Italy over. If they manage that the draw is wide open for them

Kawaguchi rubbish?
I think not.
Far from it.
Have you even seen the match?
For the highlights(longer than the one on the fifaworldcup website):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt9YHwA9P0I&search=brazil%20japan
You might as well realize that Kawaguchi has made countless saves!

He made some spectacular saves in the first half, it can't be denied.
Mind you he did cock up for the crucial second goal... roflmao
