india on its current form????????....(wat form..cos they beat sri lanka..lankans r the worst team in the world and were about to loss the series to Proteas..wat the helll r u talking abt...current form?) must b joking..its australia, blackcaps, england, and pakistan (underdog they really do have a chance and well they r really playing well and may b west indies, but considering them is just a wishful thinking...well if u really ask me.i think if english can defend the ashes, they will b on a high and caribbean wickets do help fast bowlers, and remember the last time english were in carribean they caused havoc with there bowling fire power..so its all about ashes..and the english have all the ammunition tht will b needed to win the game...or it can b the aussies cos if aussies loss the ashes or win...thy r gonna come hard cos and they r gonna make sure there is no one to question them...Poms or Aussies

Gosh as an Aussie, I'm hoping Croatia don't score at all..lol. But I think Australia will win 2-1 but the possibility that Croatia will score first is fairly good. Australia drive harder when they are scored against. People may speculate as to the how players psychology may be effected when there is the possibility of torn loyalties but in the end these boys made a choice and know where their hearts and responsibilities lay. I'm certainly looking forward to this match and win lose or draw, the Socceroo's have not disappointed us Aussies.

probably not.  Italy not only has much more experience then the Australian team, but they were heavily favored by any expert/ sports commentator I heard.  The only reason it went so long without a score was because Australia was having an exceptionally good day, and Italy was just OK.  \nEven if it went to overtime, or even to penalty kicks, Italy definitely would have won.

Well I am an Aussie, we lost and I'm still not disappointed. We put up a good effort and performance from my view of things, Don't be disappointed. Support your team no matter how they go. No one is perfect all the time. They are there for their country and to entertain us with their skills and we should enjoy and appreciate them all. But as for that 6 points you are talking of, if they haven't done it so far I don't really think it's all that likely as the competition tightens and becomes harder and much more competitive.

Australia only really cares because the socceroos are doing well. Interest will die down after the World Cup. However i think the rest of the world will remain soccer mad.

On the current evidence it is too close to call.Australia is still the one to beat but that aura of invincibility is over now.Others are beginning to fancy their chances now.This cup is as wide open now as was the one in 1996.My gut feeling is that England or South Africa will win it for the first time.No one deserves it more than England having made it in to three finals.

Again, yes. But not this year. They are not as strong a team as they were compared to past years. England and Netherlands are strong too. So this world cup will be one of the more exciting ones

I'm with you. For me personally as an Australian, they have already had success. They created history in and for Australian soccer this morning. It's personal and really important to our players as Fifa members have stated they are only there to make up the numbers. Getting to the Cup was a road fraught with political hardships for our boys. They have not always been treated fairly or with any amount of respect at times and I believe that is one reason why they will strive for the best result they can get and why even non soccer fans in Australia have come out in force to stand behind the boys. I wish them all the luck, health and blessings in the world.\n\nGo on boys...do it for yourselves...you have already made us proud.

My guys, the Australian Socceroo's have just knocked our socks off. This whole tournament, they have exceeded expectations and lifted an entire nation to a level of pride not felt for a very long time. To win one game was enough for Aussie supporters. To qualify for the final 16 is something that we always thought they could do but celebrated like they won the world cup. Australia is a very proud nation today thanks to these great men that represent us with such guts and determination. Sorry for the ramble but it's just so great for Australian football.

No african team will win the world cup in any of our lifetimes.African football is so far removed from the modern game that it is unthinkable that they could win at the top level.

The coach doesn't exactly play does he? You can have the best coach but if you're team's crap, they are crap.\n\nAlthough I won't rate Australia as crap, they are just not good enough now, to win the trophy.\n\nBe satisfied with every victory, or how far they progress.

Hey there Clive,\n\nI agree with you. The Australian side has gone through many years of flatness but has also undergone a period of growth and development which now seens to be coming together. Their attitude of it's not over till it's over saw an incredible rise in determination in their game against Japan. They continued to play and perform as a team. Add to those you mentioned Brett Emerton and John Aloisi and there is definite potential there to put up an acceptable challenge to Brazil and Croatia, who are both great sides. A win against Brazil would be fantastic but if they can contain them from not scoring goals well that is positive also. I think the key will be for Guus to play them in positions they excel in. Changes or corrections can't be made against Brazil as late in the game as they were V's Japan. When players were played back in their accepted positions the team performed far better. They are no walk overs anymore. They have talent and loads of untapped potential.\n\nCan I just add losing to Brazil, if that is the outcome, is nothing to be ashamed of and I will be proud of them no matter what happens. They could just provide a couple of the biggest upsets of the tournament. Let's hope so anyway.

Nope not this time ...their moral is bit  down after their performance in ICC trophy, while Australia will face them after winning the trophy...n Aussies is all the way better  than England..will be  tough for England to retain.
