I think this was a great match considering what happened in the last 6 or 8 minutes. But the japanese were unlucky not to hold them for a few minutes as soceroos were defeated by the same marjin 1-0 in their last meeting. After the 1st goal, the Japanese just broke down and were desperate to score another to gain full points. This lead them to the downfall and the soceroos took the full advantage.
Another thing should come here is that Soceroos were a bit physical. If you look at what brasil think about them, they told that soceroos were targetting ankles and being physical. But its true as well that they're the better team at that day.
Against brasil, not sure how they will perform though. There is no wonder that Brasil is rich in football and they are the best in this business. About the soceroos, they hardly have any recent history and their ability is unknown. Well they beat Uruguay in the play off. They beat Japan - the best of the asian football . Now lets see if they can match the latin and european football or not. Well some may argue that their players are in most of the european teams but its true as well that some of the best japanese players play in the european teams as well. Although they beat England in England but that was probably a friendly match. There is a huge difference between a friendly and world cup match. So lets wait and see..!
For Australia
+They have quality players like viduka, kewel, cahill
+They beat Uruguay, England, Japan as their best performance
-They qualified for the first time in 32 years (fortunately with a penalty shootout)
