I have not heard a lot about the Australian squad, but there going to have a tough round robin run with Croatia, Brazil, and Japan all wanting to get to that second round. If they are going to have any chance of getting through, they will have to beat both Croatia and Japan, seeing as Brazil will probably win all of their games. So, I predict that Australia will either barely be in second, or they will sit in the third spot and go home early.

We got to be able to cheer for some team or teams.  Unfortunately, the Chinese soccer team cannot make it pass the preliminary round.  If they did that, I would be cheering for the Chinese team instead of the Korean team (or any other team for that matter).  If only the people from their own countries can cheer for their own teams, then only people in 32 countries can cheer for any teams at all.  You can ask those of your Korean friends and see if they cheer for Italy, Germany, France, Brazil or some other teams.  If they do, then ask them why they have double standard.

yes plz!! \n\nbtw, remember the goal that was given to japan in their first match with australia 3-1? i read in the newspaper today that FIFA kicked out the referee cz he counted that goal although he should've given the japanese player a red card!

1 Get a life already ! Excuses. I watched the game there were no such things as unseen fouls.\n\n2 Do you know when it is apenalty ? when the handball done inside the penaltybox is deliberate. None of the handballs you say were deliberate.\n\n3 The linesman's flag was up , clearly, Frei was in a offside position. BUT when the ball was passed it touched a Korean player on the way . Thus it turned into a pass from a swiss player to a misspass from a korean. In case of a misspass the players offside position gets nullified, even if the whole swiss team was in offside & a misspass was made. this is the FIFA rule from 2003. The ref can overturn linesman's descision. He followed the rules & was right.\n\n\nGood for Korea as they got a test of their own medicine. Remember how they cheated past Italy & Spain in 2002 ? The people who said Korea deserved it need to consider these facts after 2002-\n1 Korea didnt win Asian Cup Japan did\n2 Korea finished 2nd to Saudis (!) in qualifiers\n3 They lost 3-1 to Ghana in the build up.\n\nHow come you Koreans not say anything about how Vieira's legal goal was mistakingly ruled out ? If it stayed you would have went out much before.

Agreed the flag was up and my heart goes out to the Koreans, it was clearly an offside and the lines man knows it, i was really longing to see them in the quarter finals just like in 2002, but there is nothing i can do about that now. The officiating in this tournament has been the worst i have seen all my life. 20 yellow cards in the match between Portugal and Netherlands, can you beat that, just when i was getting disgusted with the officiating in the USA - Italy game. I will say the officials got Korea out of this world cup just like a lot of other small teams in FIFA's eyes.

Some teams have disappointed people at the WC, but I think all teams had to prove themselves to a degree. Many more than the 32 who qualified tried and didn't get there. I know some had easier qualifying rounds than others, but these 32 are the ones that overcame their opponents to get here. They all deserve some credit. But leave the Olympics out of it, this is the WC of football, a completely different arena.

Really.....\nwhat do you think of how you guys cheated past italy & spain in 2002. Face it what goes around comes around. You guys were never good enough. the success of 2002 was a fluke. How come you guys not win the asian cup & japan do ? How come you finish runner up to saudis in qualifiers ? \n\nYou guys were poooooorrrrr face it. You want a penalty ? How bout when Totti waas brought down ? There was no penalty but a red card. Hurts doesnt it ? Unfair ref ? Byron mORENO that guy was later suspended by his own fa twice, check the facts. Stop whinning & accept the fact that you werent good enough...

I am not Korean but I will still answer this. I like their chances in Group G. It's expected that France move on number one in the group, but then South Korea doesn't have big-time competition(Switzerland, Togo). I think the Koreans will beat the Swiss because of Lee Young-Pyo, Park Ji-Sung, Lee Eul-Yong, and Seol Ki-Hyeon.

Its ok, Italy won't get past Germany! and I'm still throwin a party tonite for that! I've said this b4 and I'll say it again, Italy should not be in the finals. they got lucky.

Disappointed yes, mad not really.  I think even playing up to their potential they still would've had a hard time making it out of group.  Italy's always tough, the czechs were just about european champions and you never what you're gonna get from the ghanains.  Let's see what happens in 2010.

For me, I felt that it was very unlucky of Australia to have lost in that way. They deserved extra time. But if that's how the game ended, there's no way to change it. At least many were impressed by Australia's performance, and that's good enough. Work harder next time, and I hope they get better and better.

The Phillipines are far from stable.\n\nAs part of the end of WWII Japan was forbidden to raise a military.  We are there to provide them with protection.  Japan wants us there.

The only reason the match might have looked rigged is because England is overrated and not as good as everybody made them sound.  Is it a suprise that a team came to the World Cup and decided to actually play hard?  England was LUCKY to get out with a win.
