It sure would have been. But the world opened up for the Socceroo's today and I was soooooooooooo proud of them and their effort. They didn't disappoint even though the result didn't go our way. As we can see, they have made some new fans and friends as a result of their effort and that is great. People that have been bagging us out, ignore them. Their teams, even Brazil were not always as great or the champions they are today. Everyone's rise to success has to start somewhere. The great thing about Australian supporters is we appreciate and respect how far they have already come and that whatever happens from this point on is a bonus. We haven't booed or jeered our boys or their performance as others have done. You have done your country proud guys, nothing left for you to prove to us.

Firstly from an Aussie thank you for your congratulations and wishes. That is really nice. Now I don't know why you nearly or otherwise felt sorry for Japan, I certainly didn't. They were very nasty and negative verbally toward our boys prior to the tournament and match. They were the more aggressive party and some of their tactics left a lot to be desired also. So I don't feel sorry for them at all and the correct score should have been 3-0 Australia. \n\nI hope they beat Croatia, I believe they have an excellent chance and that isn't an offence to Croatia, but Australia put together a strong finish and their fitness stood out toward the end. That must come into consideration V's Brazil too. That's going to be a hard match for the boys but they can compete if they are in the right frame of mind. Looking forward to that match.

America should give BUSH & CHANEY the boot. how do you guys over there put up with leaders like that? Gosh in australia we have such a good welfare system, health, education, criminal justice. your leaders are to focussed on political power and global power to give a damn about the welfare of citizens. kick em out and i'll come over and show you all how it should be done.

Amazing Australia... come to think of it, it's not really that amazing anymore when one consider the phenomenal successes achieved by AUSTRALIANS in sports... it's in their national psyche to be AWESOME in anything they do. Very well done mates.... Go Socceroos!!!

I'm with you. For me personally as an Australian, they have already had success. They created history in and for Australian soccer this morning. It's personal and really important to our players as Fifa members have stated they are only there to make up the numbers. Getting to the Cup was a road fraught with political hardships for our boys. They have not always been treated fairly or with any amount of respect at times and I believe that is one reason why they will strive for the best result they can get and why even non soccer fans in Australia have come out in force to stand behind the boys. I wish them all the luck, health and blessings in the world.\n\nGo on boys...do it for yourselves...you have already made us proud.
