8pm tonight, Suncorp. Live Fox Sports.
Socceroos biggest game of the year and the biggest game anywhere in the world in June outside of Euro. Should be close to a sellout if not already, and an estimated 500 million will watch the match throughout Asia.
From what I've heard, the pitch is pretty crappy after being cut up by the RU Test. That's not necessarily a bad thing given the way both teams play. Japan do all their good work along the ground. So I think we definitely need to start Timmy and Kennedy to take advantage of our aerial superiority. Kewell needs to be dropped, and so too does North because Shinji will tear him to shreds. Honda's also gonna give Valeri/Jedinak and Og and Luca$h nightmares all night.
Given the way Japan's playing, I'll be happy with a point.
