Australia’s last group match, against Croatia, is less than 14 hours away. As it gets closer, my nerves are starting to grow. I know that the Aussies can beat Croatia, but the Aussies have had big games before (World Cup qualifiers, etc.), and we have fallen at the last hurdle. I know Guus Hiddink has instilled a new attitude within the team, and I hope it pays off in the upcoming match.

The Aussies have already impressed a lot of people. UK’s ‘The Times’ voted the Aussies the team that is achieving the most above their expectations.

I’ll be cheering the boys on - yelling at my TV and generally going nuts. I hope that anyone who reads this will do the same!

We have another front-runner for goal of the tournament. Joe Cole’s stunner against Sweden yesterday was incredible.

I don’t know if anyone was as disappointed with today’s match between Argentina and the Netherlands. It was unfortunate that neither team had anything to play for because this could have been one of the best matches of the tournament. Instead, it was an absolute snoozefest and ended up in a 0-0 draw.
