Hiddink is possibly the greatest coach ever. And Japan, WOW, they could be the laughing stock of this entire world cup.

it would have been very different if the two Japanese strikers Takahara and Yanisagawa scored in the second half against one defender and the keeper.

Japan were technically "weak" compared to the Australians. The right back had all the space and time in the world to make the right flank his own. He did but his crossing failed him time after time.

The Japanese only have themselves to blame.

true. the break through is good but the combination between 2 strikers are awful. right flank is totally empty and they can't even produce a good looking cross :nape:

What an ending!:wootman:

Japan played good on defense and their keeper was great, however his only error costed Japan the match, on attack Japan looked better than Australia for most of the match, however they looked in an awful hurry to score, like throwing crosses into the box when there was no one.

Australia on the first half and part of the second half played like Longballand and FC Viduka, but eventually near the ending when Australia declared independience from Longballand they played a lot better and could score, well done.

Aren't you forgetting about Saudi Arabia? they haven't played yet. But with Iran and Japan's results its becoming ever harder to justify Asia's 4.5 world cup places.
To be fair though, both Japan and Iran had it in them to win their games, but got their asses handed to them instead due to clumsiness and negative football.

The ref was bad..
He used to be good in the egyptian league but 2day he made many wrong decisions that could let the winners lose.
1. Japan's goal was a clear foul against SCHWARZER.
2. Moniwa's booking was unfair, It was not even a foul..!
3. A Clear penalty was not given to Japan & Cahill should be sent off.

Australia deserved the vctory.

Even though Australia won i didn't think the performance was good, they didn't take advantage of their height advantage and kept attacking down the centre there was hardly and play down the wings in the 2nd half.

:rofl:

A couple of the Australian commentators were talking it up like we owned the whole game. But until our equaliser in the last 10 minutes the only way we came close to scoring was from set pieces. There's a huge difference between Australia's performance today and that in their friendly with Holland the other week. We've got our work cut out for us against Brazil.

That other Egyptian ref is one dirty asshat, i hated him with a passion, i think his name is Gamal Ghandour. I hope he doesn't see another football pitch for the rest of his life.

I thought this was a pretty good match, I kind of like how Japan plays. Things I did not like about them was their strikers keep passing the ball behind their players?? I dont know why but if they would have passed it in front of the players they could have scored more goals. Also their crosses were very bad, too high for any Japanese players to get too. Their GK was awsome but his one mistake coast them a goal and after that goal the whole team just shut down. Congrats to Australia, but why did Aloisi nad Cahill not start? From the games I have seen Aloisi play with Alaves he looked pretty and good and Cahill looks pretty good for Everton aswell.

Also the ref was bad, missed some calls and did not give a very clear penalty to Japan. Also their goal is valid imo.

"The way they play, there's no way to neutralize it. They play physically, in a crafty way, and you can't teach players how to deal with it. You can train as much as you want, you just can't. They get the ball to the box with 3 tall players there, you can tell sometime it'll fall for one of them to score. That's what happened"

Penalty probably, but not a sending off. He wasn't last man and it wasn't a dangerous challenge, just a mis-timed one.
