Asian people are shocked that Australia beat Japan 3:1 as Japan is the Champaign of Asia.

It was Australia's first World Cup win and their first ever goals in only their second finals' appearance in 32 years.

We are very impressed and happy to see this.

Next World Cup Australia will be one of the Asian teams and absolutely no problem can win other Asian teams.

Australia will have more miracles to come.

Cheers

I just pray and wish the Socceroo achieves the following:
0 - 0
or
1 - 1

With Brazil.

Pls. don't ask too much.

That will encourage them to move further for the next FIFA World cup in 2010.
Other than that, I don't think they will survive long in this tournament.

The legend of Guus Hiddink keeps growing.

He could push Korea to semi-final and I am sure Australia will do better than Korea.

See how Japan collapsed in the final minutes and we can see the potential of Australa.

Korean and other Asian people are happy to see Australia will beat other teams.

I loved watching the Japan game live - but it has to be one of the hardest sports to watch. Heart pounding out of chest stuff! Today in the papers it seems Oz is throwing caution to the wind to try and beat Brazil, even if their yellow carded fellows (top players in the team) get banned from the next game vs Croatia.

Still, can't wait.
