    Yes. And don't forget the spirit of the Spanish team is the currently pathetic FC Barcelona we beat in the quarters, and that Casillas was this close from gifting us the CL final (every time I write these words, I feel pain) thanks to some horrendous goalkeeping.

    I hope they give koke (for me the next iniesta) and juanfran a chance otherwise I don't see any changes (except maybe the keeper)


    P. S Chile for dark horse

    Don't rub us off that quickly, this will be a tough one but we won't go down without a fight. Even if many are calling Australia "the USA of Group B" that doesn't mean we can still make the match a close one.

    Can Chile finish first in the group? Their next two matches will be interesting.

    You know I'm starting to believe Chile may be looking like they can pass the group, probably at the expense of Spain though.

    You surely do like to rub the Aussies off as "weaklings" but I guess that's because they are the lowest in world rankings of this year's participants. The defense was so rubbish given how fast Chile managed to get two goals in.

    I still say it'll be Spain and the Netherlands through to the second round, though I am curious as to how Chile will do against them in their matchups.

    Thing is, the Aussies have 2 players that play in League one and 1 that plays in the Championship. They are just outclassed here.

    • Even if Spain crash out here, their next generation will be good too so there's a positive.

    I bet Australia would be winning this if they had the glorious Rhys Williams. lol jk

    That's the problem, the Australian team here are a new generation which means they're pretty much rookies to the major events like this. Plus they did have their current coach only appointed late last year after Holger Osieck got sacked.

    Edit: Australia finally scores! And as I expected it was Cahill who scored. It's now 2-1 to Chile.

    A sudden spark from Australia now. Things might actually get interesting. This is the spirit that Australia needs.

    I'm sure any newgen defender is better than our Rhys to be honest. :p

    Two great headers today.

    Looks like Franjic for Australia might be injured. Might have to bring on a sub.

    EDIT: AND A GOAL F-- oh damn.... disallowed.
