Well Japan in itself is done with war.  It is in their law of war now. They will never be the offensive in a war, only support and defend.  As far as the WW3 thing, we are on the verge of it.  North Korea and China only leave Japan alone because we have bases there, if we left....  And as it is you know China, Russia, and N. Korea would join.  And then we would be back to the original Allies for us.  Except this time it would have Japan with us.  They can be ruthless, as we know.  And in the long run, the next WW, will be earthly disasterous!!  Nuculear weapons, and the number of ground troups required for that kind of war again would be insane!  The outcome would be the end of seperated countries, someone will battle for dominance. But end the world as we know it.

will beat japan ,croatia will be tough but not as hard as uruaguay and a loss against brazil so i think the aussies can go through, i know they will get plenty of nuetrals supporting them which will be in their favour. One must remember what hiddink did with korea last time and this time he has a hell of alot more talent 2 work with so who Knows? All i know is they deserve respect in the last couple of years they have beaten England in a freindly and they beat a Uruaguay also their plyers play in the top leagues.

I think that we will have a military prescence in those two countries for many years to come.  Look at Germany and Japan. 60 years after the end of WWII and we still have forces in those two countries.

over a hundred year period, America will cease to be the global force that it is today, the chances of Australia taking its place are slim. \n\nThe contenders at the moment seem to be a United Europe, China and India.

they  have every chance of coming second in the group behind Brazil - they have Kewell, Cahill and Viduka who would get in any squad. The Croatians are an aging side and the Japanese don't travel well, i hope Australia make it to the knockout stages

Brazil will be the first to qualify.. if Japan show the same class they showed in 2002, then it will be a good fight with croatia for second place.. Aussie fans, i am sorry, not strong enough to move to the next round..

Japan had a lead in the game which was fortunate. However, instead of going forward to try to get another goal and seal the win, they sat back and let Australia attack them for most of the second half. Japan's coach was negative in his substitutions as well, and chose to take off a striker and replace him with a midfielder.Australia took the initiative and brought in more attacking players i.e. Aloisi, Cahill which made all the difference. Japan have themselves to blame for not finishing off the match earlier.

I think Australia will get the second qualifying spot in this round. But it will not be an easy match against Croatia. Strategies need to be changed for each opponent and I'm sure both sides will have watched replays of each others games and be well prepared for each other. Kewell has made it hard for Australia now. Although I understand his frustration, he should not have vented it that way. I think the referee's were already judging Australia negatively due to pre cup press about their aggressive play, which by the way was grossly inaccurate, and will look to us far more critically and harshly now. So it's not going to be easy. But cool heads and the steely determination they have produced so far will get them through in the end.
