When you are in the same group with Brazil and you have only 2 spots that qualify you to the next stages, It’s clear that three teams will fight for one spot.

This is what Australia’a coach, Guus Hiddink wants to get: the second spot in the group. But this means they have to overcome Japan, […]

THough he didn’t show his potential in the game against Lichtenstein (a game which was won by Australia 3-1), the fact that Kewell played is a gain on its own.

Kewell strained a groin muscle while playing for Liverpool in the FA Cup final on 13 May and the injury had cast doubt on his […]

Australia finished their warm-ups with a 3-1 win against Lichtenstein.

The Socceroos were always in control of the match, dominating possession from the opening whistle, but squandered a series of scoring opportunities and needed late goals from Josh Kennedy and John Aloisi to seal victory.

Some more good news for Australia: Harry Kewel has received green light to play in a friendly match against Liechtenstein in Ulm.

Mark Schwarzer is Australia’s goalkeeper and Middlesbrough’s goalkeeper as well and, let me tell you, he is a great goalkeeper. He played in the Uefa semi-final against Steaua Bucharest and I was not happy at all with his play.

Of course, he might retire AFTER the World Cup. Fans should not worry, he will be playing at this World Cup. Anyway, he feels that he is now too old to keep playing at the same level.

Viduka said that Australia’s performance at the World Cup would influence his decision, but the prospect of increased travel […]

Harry Kewell made his come-back in a warm-up against a Dutch amateur team. Australian striker scored 2 goals and assisted another 2 with his passes.

Australia beat VV Kloetinge 8-1 but it was the appearance of the Liverpool star for 85 minutes that was the high-point.
It was Kewell’s first match since injuring a groin muscle in […]
