Amazing goal from Cahill...

1-1.

But I am locking this thread, any and all comments on this match in the Group B sticky thread please.

cahill tourne could be over. picked up a needless yellow for a late tackle in the dutch final third. second yellow of the tourne so misses next game

[Burt]

Tell you what... Australia should be winning. Good stuff. Up 'n' at them. I thought they would be far more cautious.

It's a dilemma though, as a win for the Ozzies or even a draw would let Spain back in.

feel the same about the spain conudrum. yes aussies should be winning. and im not suprised that they are going for it as a draw would probably still see them out

[fulhamben]

hmm aussie goal dissallowed for, well i couldnt see anything wrong. van persie suspended for the next game

[fulhamben]

penalty to the aussies. harsh hand ball

[fulhamben]

goal 2 1

[cmg]

Level now.

Good luck to the Aussies, but any referee who sees that as a hand-ball must surely have never played the game of football.

I should be enjoying a game between two talented sides like Chile and Spain but with all the embellishing and acting it's making it hard to watch at times.

Chile up 2-0 now though.

[FortCollinsFulham]

The champions (and Australia) are out.

[fulhamben]

the boring ones are out

[YankeeJim]

Chile out Spained Spain. Lots of talent with a lot of dallying and I think I'd awarded several Oscars. Chile had a great game plan by harassing the Spaniards  from the moment they got the ball. The better team won. With any luck the Aussies will send them out without a point.

the boring ones are out

Spain are boring?

Lol alright

[TrexFFC]

Iran, Korea and Russia were all far more boring than Australia.  I actually feel bad that they were put in that group.  They're not great by any means but they put up a fight against two top sides and definitely kept things interesting.

Wow!!!

i wasnt calling australia boring. thought the played really well yesterday. they didnt deserve to lose

[lamby]

If Australia still had Schwarzer in goals we would have won that game against The Netherlands!

[the nutflush]

I still say we should sign Davidson

[jmh]

I don't agree that Spain are boring, but there's certainly no injustice in their being (along with Australia) the first team eliminated.  They were really well off their game.
