Was hoping the Aussies would get something out of the Spanish but there you go. Spain will have to try and redeem themselves 4 years time in Russia That's of course assuming they qualify for it

Tell you what, though... They keep developing like this, and Australia are a BIG chance at elimination football in Russia 2018. Nine months ago, we had back to back 6-0 floggings to Brazil and France. Now, with a whole change in mindset and some necessary changes in the team (for example, guys like Neill and Holman weren't playing enough regular football to retain their spots), we're competitive with that same type of high quality opposition. We just need some better finishing now from these newer guys, because Cahill can't go on forever.
All anyone really wanted from the team here was for them to have a go. And they did that. It may statistically be the worst Australian World Cup team ever, but there's a lot more being taken from this other than points.

The next goal to be scored will be the 100th goal of the tournament.
At the moment , another 73 goals are still needed to beat the record that is currently held by France 98

Australia reminds me a lot of the US a couple of decades ago. Association isn't even close to being the top type of football played in either country (Gridiron for US, Aussie Rules and Rugby for Australia), but it's starting to make its way up in popularity and as that happens they'll be more competitive in the World Cup.

Think the Croatia/Mexico match is going to be close.
Can't see Cameroon holding off Brazil.

Croatia v Mexico is a pretty decent game so far despite being 0-0, both teams really going for it.
