Socceroos draw 2 - 2 against Croatia enough to advance!
Great game this morning, starting at 5am EST here. An absolutely stunning first goal by Croatia in the first 2 minutes from 25m out looked like a strong start but Australia kept tight and kept control. Two handballs in the goal box not awarded to Australia and 3 yellow cards issued to a single Croatian behind some drama of the game. Harry Kewell Well and Craig Moore and behind the scoring for Australia.
Well done socceroos!
Australia now face Italy in 4-5 days and it will be straight away back into camp training for them.
From the news on the weekend it looks like that ref who gave out the 3 yellow’s by mistake might come under serious review from FIFA… We could have won that match! But a draw nevertheless kicks out the Croats
