Japan take lead despite Australia's domination
GOAL:NAKAMURA - 26mins
A goal in dodgy circumstances. Despite Australia's domination Japan have taken the lead after a dubious decision by the Egyptian referee, Essam Abdel Fatah. Nakamura hit a cross in from the right and the Australian 'keeper was impeded by one of the Japanese players leading in the cross hitting the back of the net. It should still be 0-0.
SCORE: Australia 0-1 Japan

Tim Cahill double swings game around
GOAL:CAHILL (2) - 87 + 89mins
I fell asleep and woke up on the 86th minute to see Cahill poke in a corner which was not cleared and now in the 89th after surviving a penalty scare Tim Cahill and spanked in a great goal from about 20 yards to send the Oz into mass celebrations.
SCORE: Australia 2-1 Japan

Aloisi makes it three
GOAL: ALOSI - 90 mins
John Aloisi puts it behind any remaining doubt and seals Australia's first victory in World Cup history.
SCORE: Australia 3-1 Japan

I wanted Japan to win, because of the fact I can’t stand Guus Hiddink, Cahill or Kewell.

USA vs Czech Republik
2-0 at half time. Koller and Arsenal's new signing Rosicky scored. Lol fuckin ell, dont want to see him scoring goals like that against United last season. Was cracking! Koller has gone off injured.

Lol, its fine, the suns beaming, the beers on tap and the ladies are flashing their. . Well, they’re flashing, so sit down Son, have a breather.
I’d say it was a good game, but USA didn’t have a chance, and one team white washing another team isn’t exactly good, ok perhaps it is in a goals sense, but there wasn’t much entertainment. Arsenals new boy Rosicky banging in two of them, and like Scott said, let’s hope he doesn’t do that for Arsenal against us, although I can’t see it myself, to be fair they were good goals, but against USA and KELLER, I’m not worried one bit. Also, Nedved was quiet, he wasn’t mentioned much, but my God did he make an impact.

They've lost their main striker JAN KOLLER. He is a beanpole like Crouch but much more talented, with Baros also injured their striker department is worse than ours.

I don’t think I can call this one. As much as I want to say Italy, they’re not the force they once were. I still remember having arguments with my Chemistry teacher back in the days of High School, about how England are better than Italy, he’d rub it in, in every competition, oh the arrogance in him. So, for that, I hope Ghana take it, just to know he’ll be sat somewhere, not looking so arrogant.

Lol. ;D!
They should have a talent competition within the World Cup or any other major competition when Italy is involved, for the best acting skills, because some of their dives are Oscar performances.
