The journey continues

Australia 2 - Croatia 2

Brazil 4 - Japan 1 (Thanks Brazil!)

THE SOCCEROOS ARE THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND!!!!!!!!! OMG! What a drama-filled match. We conceded a goal within minutes at the start, and then we equalized with a penalty. And then our "reserve" keeper's butter fingers gave Croatia another goal, but we fought back, and our Harry's brilliant goal brought us home. Viduka should have been given a penalty in the first half - he had another guy's arms wrapped around him! And what about the handball in the second half - can't believe the ref missed that one! And then, Simunic (is that his name?) was given a second yellow, yet he stayed on the pitch because the ref totally forgot about his first yellow! And then he was given a third yellow, LOL! Have you ever seen that before?

Anyways, we are through to the next round. I don't think anyone will be going to work or school today! :P
