WC G06 Countdown: 3 Days
Tuesday, June 06, 2006
Woot~ 3 more days...Can't wait. I think I might stay up until 1am on Friday to watch the opening first half. But I'm afraid the Opening Ceremony might be the event that starts at 12am, stated on the TV guide. 32 long and painful years since Australia made a World Cup appearence, they never scored during that particular one. So they'll be hoping to improve dramatically this time round, they'll start their
quest against 2002 World Cup co-host Japan. It would be a very balanced game, I guess...
~Counties in Group F~Let's check out Group F:
Brazil would most likely take top spot, with the second up for grabs for the other three. The Brazilians would win against Croatia, but the Croats would not make it easy for them. Australia and Japan could be a tricky opponent, but Brazil should triumph in both matches.
Australia, under Guus Hiddink, have a tricky game against Japan, but should win, just. Brazil are much tougher opponents and a draw is the most they can hope for, which is highly unlikely. The game against Croatia might just decide which other team goes through.
Japan would find it very difficult to qualify. They would need to win against Australia, and a draw might be the most likely result. They have, in the past, played well against Brazil and might nick something. Croatia would be tough opponents and it might go either way.
Croatia could qualify if they can draw against Brazil in their first game. The next against Japan should see them win it, at the worse draw it. Australia could be slightly tougher opponents and Croatia might just nick it in front of 'em and reach the 2nd round.
