maybe I'm biased but I thought Aus deserved to win.........they seemd to play a lot better than Croatia particularly in the second half.......it was comforting to know we only had to get a draw..... but those last 10 mins seemd to go on forever.......

Tough match to ref.....very physical and the most holding/grabbing/pushing of oppostion players that I have seen so far in the WC..........the yellow cards........and two reds were handed out pretty liberally.......it's odd when you see a player making 5 dangerous takles in a match and stay on and then you see Emerton do pretty much nothing and gets two yellow.......followed by a red......in two minutes.......crazy + puzzling game sometimes

and then there was the Croat player who got two yellows and stayed on?????...........then got a third yellow for grabbing/arguing with the red after full time.......sometimes it's pure comedy out there...........
