Yeah good call, so I'm guessing all of the referees who book guys for diving must also be football bandwagoners, because hell, everyone does it :lol: crawl back into your hole.

you dis credit a team because they take a dive, If the roos took a dive you wouldn't say a word.

To be honest, I've never seen the national team of Montserrat take a dive.

They play the game hard and fair.

Croatia are a weak team, the weakest from Europe, and Australia can make a strong point by beating them.

Also, by getting to the second round Australia will make me look good at work, as I said it might well happen.

Kick off - 5am Friday EST. (Delayed on SBS at 7am)

Table -

Brazil - 6 points, GD +3 (3-0)
Australia - 3 points, GD 0 (3-3)
Croatia - 1 point, GD -1 (0-1)
Japan - 1 point, GD -2 (1-3)

If Croatia draw with Australia, Japan need to beat Brazil by 3 goals to jump us. Won't matter, as the Aussies will win.

*edit* had Japan/Croatia result as 1-1 instead of 0-0.

Japan's for and against is 1-3. They drew nil nil with Croatia. Croatia's F/A is still only 0-1.

Japan would need to beat Brazil by 3 goals if we draw is how I understand it, as we beat them in head to head. I'm confused though.

Not going to happen anyway, even though they say anything can happen in football ;-)

Brazil's 2nd team should make this a push over with guys like Fred, Robinho, Juninho and Ciccinho who would walk into most other international teams.

Ronaldo ties things up at 1 all after Japan took the lead

Personally I'd rather not have to rely on Brazil to decide our future. If we can't beat the Croatians with the amount of ball and field position we've got - we'll get murdered by Italy

True, but seeings as they're both being played at the same time, it's better for us if Brazil are in command at all times. Unless we take a commanding lead in this one, and go to a 2 or 3 goal lead, then Japan can go for their lives

They need a 4-1 win from here to make it a problem for us. Surely Brazil won't choke that hard?
