3 - 1 Baby!
OK so here's the deal:Australian Alex 1 - Japanese Exam 3
Australian Socceroos 3 - Japanese Samurais 1
Hooray!!!!!!!!
After being breathtakingly pummeled by the Japanese exam last week (I think I scored at least one goal against it though because it wasn't a clean sheet... heh), my honour has been avenged by the Socceroos... what a nerve-wracking game... I had to sit through around an hour of "shit we're gonna lose" type thinking before Timmy Cahill smacked in the equaliser... thank God we managed to win the battle to sign him with Samoa.
Aloisi played well too and so did Viduka (despite not scoring). Dukes kept a cool head amid the mess of nerves that was the Aussie team at he start of the match, and did well at what he does best, holding up the ball for other strikers. He also had some good shots at goal himself that were denied by the Japanese keeper.
So that's a wrap. Australia scores its first win in a World Cup and gets its campaign off to a fantastic start. Brazil and Croatia here we come!

PS. Watching the USA vs. Czech Republic match atm. The Czechs are up 3 - 0 at the 87th minute with new Arsenal recruit, Rosicky having scored two of them and played a fantastic match. I'm sure Wenger is pleased, having bought him before the World Cup, as opposed to after when his value would undoubtedly go up.
