Well it's the big one tonight. Big if you're Australian that is.Last time they were in the World Cup they pulled off a "monumentous" draw against Chile. Ok, yes that's right I said Chile, and what they don't tell you whenever they recount that match on the TV is that it was a 0-0 draw. Yes that's right, in the 1974 World Cup they didn't win a game and didn't score a goal.
But that's supposed to all change today.
Japan is a must win game for Australia. You don't fancy them getting anything from the Brazil tie, and Croatia will be a tough ask, so a draw probably won't cut it for the Socceroos.
I've put them down to lose in my tipping contest. According to the stats 70% of tippers are backing an Aussie win and 10% a draw.
Groo, any pre-match musings?

But, seriously, I think that Japan will take a first half lead and Aussie spirits will sink in the scorching heat. Then, astonishingly, Tim Cahill will score twice near the end to pull off a thrilling victory for the Socceroos. Probably.

And then, just maybe, they'll grab a third to round off an astonishing comeback. I'm just guessing.
