It's a great performance. I expected Croatia to go through from that group.

Well done to the Aussies

I am so pleased for the Aussies, they really deserve it. That English referee is a joke, he always has been, I don't know how he got picked to ref World Cup games. I hope he gets sent home. That penalty decision was laughable when you compare it to some of the things that people did get away with.

Personally, I can't wait until they bring in the video ref, it's the only way that the game of football will be made honest again. The level of cheating and play-acting is just sickening.

(I also watched the Japan Vs. Brazil game, and the Japanese were a breath of fresh air when it came to clean play and honesty, the other countries should learn a lesson from them).

Advance Australia fair should be changed to Advance Australia superb!

Good luck to them..... they have my support now.

Congrats to the Aussies from across the ditch. At last we have a team to cheer for from this part of the world.
We Kiwis will leave the round ball game to you Aussies, now bring on the oval ball.

That's okay, RP....each to their own. I'm not into soccer either (anymore), but this is a big thing here in Oz....first time in the finals series 'n all

Paul, Aussies have a very good coach (one of the best in the world) and again , did a good match against Croatia. Well done

In the other hand, Brazil seemed to wake up for the world cup, yesterday with Japan.

As I said earlier. It's all about the refs. The game isn't decided by the players on the field but by the referees. It's a shame ....I thought the Aussies would be moving on to the next round but the ref decided it was time to go home.

Oh well, It's all over for the Aussies ...a one-nil loss to the Italians.

It's been a great run and I, for one, am very proud of their achievement!

The best result ever in a world cup.

Goodonya lads!
