The Aussies showed a lot of character. I thought they would fold.
And props to ex-Toffee Tim Cahill for getting a goal.
Hoop. ti. doo.
The only reason Spain will make it out of the Group, is because their group is so weak, but I don’t see them making it out of the Group of 16. They look old.

Sadly, I’m on a project that has me working 1800-0600 everyday. If I’m not working, I’m sleeping. I’m hoping to catch some of next weekends games..
Yes, we get it. You have Goal Line technology now. Stop using it on every goal that is obvious.
Awesome? I’ve told you a million times not to exaggerate.

Australia must have taken a big tumble in the rankings since the article was written, Australia fired their manager a few months ago after having 2 straight big losses to Brazil and France.
Australia played relatively well last night, I cheered them on. It's too bad that other than Cahill, they did not seem to have any real threats on goal but they definitely got into an area where they could attack, they just could not finish. That player Bresciano was good as well.
Buffon sustained what his manager, Cesare Prandelli, described as “a very, very light ankle twist” on Friday, causing him to miss a scheduled appearance at the pre-match press conference, but it has since emerged that the injury is more serious than hoped and he will not recover in time to face Roy Hodgson’s side in Manaus.
Buffon reportedly underwent physiotherapy at the team’s base earlier in the day, but has not recovered sufficiently to be available for selection at the Arena Amazônia. The goalkeeper then posted a cryptic-sounding message on Twitter shortly after the news broke, saying: “Hello everyone … life is beautiful and I am still in debt to it … neither a game nor a World Cup missed would make me change my mind.
“There are so many ways to be important, even if you are not a starter on the pitch … so … go on Salvatore … come on my magical guys … FORZA ITALY, my great love!”
GOOOOOOOOOOOOL, nice! 3-1, wow.
