Any followers of the 2006 FIFA World Cup here?
I am going for Australia (which is one of the lowest ranked sides in the World Cup) but their rank doesn't mean much as they scored a tie with ranked 3rd in the world, Holland and defeated European Champions, Greece recently. Our first match is against Japan, the other teams in our group are Croatia and Brazil. I don't usually follow football/soccer since it isn't that popular in Australia, but when it comes to international soccer/football I am all for it. So what team are you backing? |

im with brazil since 94 , not because they had played in every final since then and won 2 titles but i simply love how they play and all their players are my favourites from goalie to forwards .. they never stop creating world class palyers , im simply crazy with brazil ,but i have a soft spot for argentina too and they are my second favourites , lol my favourites hardly disappoint me

I saw Holland beat Serbia and Montenegro 1-0.
I was expecting a better score, but Holland will make it past the group stage easily. |

Australia is my team in football. I am living in Japan so It will be a great night tonight when we play Japan. The Japanese media thinks Australia will lose and the Australian media thinks Australia will win. So lets just wait 12 more hours and find out.

Very nice victory by Australia last night (AEST time at the time of posting) in the World Cup, although the Ref's performance would be under question from both nations.
