Damnit, tough draw....

I rekon we might come second, croatia isnt how it use to be back in the days and but japan will be the challenge (ankle breakers hehe)

Oh man, we got Brazil. For some reason I just we were going to be up against them. Oh well. I really wanted to watch the draw on TV this morning at 615. However, after Xmas drinks last night, it wasn't going to happen!

GO AUSTRALIA!!!

I am Australian but I own a Brazil scarf

Unlucky draw....

we got a 50/50 chance.

hope we make it into the next round.

good luck australia.

damn. well the only way Australia are going to be world-class are to conquer world-class opponents. No easy road for the boys that's for sure.

Argentina vs Holland
France vs South Korea

- bring it!

Brazil

Oh shit!

damn, that's tough group for australia, brazil are like a top team, and both japan and croatia are high of a high calibre too

Holland and Spain will make it easy
watch the spanish news before the groups were released and they said Australia were a team they didnt want to play. Well they got there wish.

But Croatia is a ageing team but Jap vs Aus will be a good match.

Australia for second if they beat Croatia and draw to Japan. Well at least we have the koreans here in Australia supporting us, they love Russsss They really like Japan aswell

its down to Guus to prove his a tactical genius

with players like inamoto, miyamoto, tanaka, etc who doesnt!?
they were quite the surprise package last world cup
as were south korea
ahhh COREA!!!!!

shweeet draw man! we were going to get it tough in any group; so why not the best in the world !! it's all good hopefully we'll get into 2nd or even 1st ...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Edit: France gets a piss easy group hope they stuff up hard and not even make the 2nd round .. wankass !!!

PS: lol ..... ARGENTINA vs NETHERLANDS ........ what a game!!!

good luck aussies, still shocked and a bit laughing Brazil is in that group

Still Go Iran & Aussies!

despite whats been said i think its quiet a difficult group. croatia are always a solid team and the japanese are one of the best in asia. not much u can say about brazil..brilliant.

We just can't seem to catch a break ffs! We struggle to the last breath to squeeze into the Cup after a 30 year wait only to be handed the World Champions in one of our first matches.

Well, at least we haven't got them first up, so we have a reasonable chance of getting our campaign off to a good start.

We've got to beat Japan preferably by 2-0, but 1-0 will do, hold Brazil (1-3 perhaps), and beat Croatia (1-0, or maybe a draw will get us through). I'm just praying that we've still got a chance by our last match. It would suck if we got knocked out by a poor showing against Brazil and our last match was a dead rubber.

Huus should come up with something. I'm encouraged by our showing in the Confederations Cup in 2005 where we scored 3 times against Germany, and twice against Argentina.

Oh well, we should revel in the role of underdogs.

We just can't do it easy can we.

oh wtf
u mean to say malta didnt make it again

def a tough group. croatia were a v strong team last time i checked. and well, brazil needs no introduction. still, if you were going to represent your country, wouldnt you want the 1/lifetime opportunity to play against the world's #1?

ahhhhh, group B is looking sweet the swedes are good, dont remember anything about paraguary tho. and trinidad? pleasure to have you aboard! confident england can make it to the next round.

but yeah, unfortunately i dont see aus beating brazil or croatia, but i hope im wrong at least Oz wont be one of those teams to rest on their laurels and take things for granted. they'll fight harder than anyone imo.

Why is everyone thinking they can probably beat Japan easily? They are pretty damn good.

I agree. Brazils not so bad in that if we can learn something and use it following matches we could do well.

I'm going to put on my optimist hat. It could have been worse. Something like Brazil and Holland in our group. I think both Croatia (not as strong as they used to be and a lot of players familiar to Australians) and Japan we can beat. If we get through we'd be toughened up to face Italy or the Czechs. That would be the real test. Personally I would like Italy. I believe they play defensive football that is susceptible to counter attack as we saw in 2002 when they were knocked out by Korea by a golden goal. I think Huus's tactical genious would shine if we played them. EDIT: Actually, now that I think of it, having Italy would be good because of that Italy v Korea match in 2002 - Huus was Korea's coach then so it would be a re-run for him - he would know exactly what was required, he's done it before.

If we somehow managed to do the impossible and reach the QFs anything could happen. We'd be conditioned to face anyone after Brazil, Italy/Czechs. It's under those circumstances that I'd like to meet a team that had come through an easy group, like Germany or England.

Every team in the World Cup is "pretty damn good". Japan are a good side but any of the finalist could beat them on a good day, including Australia.

I don't think anyone thinks Japan can be beaten easily, it's more like they're thinking it wouldn't be impossible, like the task against Brazil.
