The Australia Vs Crotia match was incredible in terms of highs and lows. The referee was a joke. He missed at least 2 penalty opportunities in favour of the Australians and then awarded an Australian goal where 2 of them were offside. I think the best team won, but the refereeing decisions were appalling.

Australia will have it tough against Italy's defence and they need to get rid of their new goalie and go back to using their No. 1 goalie. Australia have the ability to get the ball into the goal area, but they are terrible finishers. They tend to do the hard work of getting the ball there and then wait for the opposition's defence to surround them, thus making a shot nearly impossible on goal. Even against Brazil they did this and messed up loads of opportunities. And in all their matches they have had the most shots on goal compared to their opposition. They can't afford to mess these things up against Italy.

The Brazil we know and love came alive last night and I think are the team to beat.
