Shocking perfomance from the Socceroos. But, everyone (aside from the Australian public) knows that the Socceroos aren't a serious competitor on a World Scale.
Though we could say the same about England. YEAH I SAID IT. Last time round, Australia had Mark Viduka and Guus Hiddink. This time, they have neither, and no Cahill for the next match. They are obviously out.
I'm still pissed about the England game. The US team looked a lot more focused and cohesive, and really surprised England. All English expectations were that the game would be a walk-over. It may well be the wake-up call that England need in order to perform to the best of their abilities at an International level.
I don't know if that's true though. Some people did, but I don't think anyone who really knows about football expected it to be that easy, beyond those thinking of the old 'Americans? They're shit at football' thing. There isn't really any shame in drawing with a team that beat Spain and nearly beat Brazil last year.
Ah well, we'll have Barry back for the next match. It would have been nice to have him in the first one, but hey. I would like to see Capello play a 4-1-4-1, with Barry just in front of the back line, Joe Cole on the left and Rooney up front alone, providing he can get decent service from the wingers.
