Sure, they have the obviously better team, are on a roll and hungry for success...no question, I don't think Japan will make any kind of impression this time around.

[lampard10]

I hope they beat Japan. In fact I would like to see them go all the way in their group. I've got to support Australia. After all Great Britain are an Australian colony:D

Hi Lampard.....havent heard from u in awhile...thought that u where dead......and looking at ur pic ( maybe u are) ....

bring on the World Cup.....

[lambous]

Head to head Australia look the better team. Almost the whole squad plays in Europe compared to only a handful of the Japanese squad, however Japan has World Cup experience to their advantage. After watching Japan through the Asian qualification campaign they don't look the same team as 2002 and I fancy Australia to take 3 points from their opening match.

no way... a shot of zacapa rum says japan beat the land of Dorothy.

There is good chance that Australia will win against Japan, but not an easy defeat.

1-0 Japan

Bit off topic but does anyone know which channel(s) will be showing the World Cup in Thailand and will we get English Commentary. I'm fairly certain it won't be on ESPNSTAR as they would have started advertising it about 6 months ago!!

australia will win the whole thing.

so ofcourse they will beat Japan, they will also kick Brazils ass too

[ProfessorFart]

The Aussies have had problems with teams which play fast football especially through midfield in recent years which is why they always came unstuck againt the South American teams until now.

The Japanese side has a good mix of youth and World Cup experience. Most of the best known Aussies are now on the wrong side of their careers and there is a huge lack of experience of a big tournament.

In my head I see Japan running out comfortable winners. 2 or 3 goals to nil unless Aus can dominate the midfield and break Japan's tempo.

However............ this is the World Cup!!

I can't see the Aussies managing a point if they don't get anything out of the Japan game. I think they should treat it as their 'do or die' game and throw everything into the game and try and get their campaign off to a flier. Three points from this game gives them everything to play for. The Brazil game is a classic 'no lose' situation. Everyone expects them to lose anyway so they can throw caution to the wind and put it up the Brazillians and if noting else set up a scrap with Croatia for second spot. Could you imagine the spirit in the Aussie camp if they have 3 points in the bag heading into the Brazil game?

Ok, the above is maybe a little fanciful but we all know that the Aussies don't play to lose and will probably lack the true class to get through the group but they could make it a lot of fun!

[Donz]

Australia will win the group, anything can happen in the world cup.

See Sth Korea last year?? well australia will not only beat Brazil, they will do it easily and will get into the finals knocking out all the other great teams.

Right on.

We'll need to bustle and "put the foot in" early as Asian teams don't like the physical game and crumble under that pressure especially away from home. An old time ankle hacker like Muscat would be great

It's critical we get the 3 points in the opener to have any chance of progressing as it will be tough getting any points out of Brazil or Croatia.
