Well I stayed up late to watch the second match of Australia with their opponents none other than the World Champions, Brazil. Unfortunetly Australia lost with a 2-0 victory to Brazil. Adriano with the first goal and Fred with the second goal that came in the final minutes of the match. Despite the lose, Australia played quite well against Brazil, they were equal in strategies, techniques, and fitness. Their defense was strong in the first half of the match but their offensive was not aggressive enough. Brazil happened to have posession of the ball majority of the time but their defense showed signs of gaps giving Australia a number of chances. Australia also had many close shots to scoring a goal especially after Kewell was substituted in.
Now Brazil have qualified from their Group F qualifiers, but that does not mean the end of Australia, they still have one chance left and that is in their final Group F match against Croatia. They have to either draw or win against Croatia to qualify. Fight on Socceroos!
