Australia v. Japan LIVE in 10 minutes!!
The two sides have never met at the FIFA World Cup although they did face each other in the semi-finals of the FIFA Confederations Cup Korea/Japan 2001, where Japan were narrow 1-0 winners thanks to Hidetoshi Nakata's pinpoint free-kick. In ten meetings overall, Japan have three victories to their name and Australia four.

Should be an interesting match, as both sides, the very "physical" Australians and the rather sophisticated Japanese have their very own styles.
However, for most of us here - me included - this will be just a palate cleanser for the big USA match.
