Was going for the Australians (for second) but after seeing the hatchet job they did on the Dutch, I go for Brazil and the Croats. Who will definitely fight fire with fire against Hiddink’s new found Kevin Muscat style of football.

Other than Brazil this group is not going to be pretty to watch.

People under-estimate the Croatian team, honestly. I`ll be extremely surprised if Brazil and Croatia don`t make it through.

Australia to beat Japan.
Australia to lose to Croatia.
Australia to lose to Brazil.
Japan to lose against Croatia.
Japan to lose against Brazil.

I don't think people underestimate them. They are favourites to qualify after all. The main source of doubt is that nobody really knows how good Australia are on the world stage, wheras Croatia had a pretty poor World Cup last time, and have few if any players left from the '98 campaign. Judging on pre-world cup results, both teams have some pretty impressive scalps behind them, with Croatia beating Sweden in qualifying, Australia beating Uruguay and Greece and drawing with Holland.

If Australia qualify ahead of Croatia it will be a surprise, generally speaking, it's just a surprise that quite a few Australians think is possible.

Personally, I think a draw between Croatia and Australia is the most likely result, though either team could win. It could well come down to who gets hammered by Brazil the worst, or who fails to beat Japan.

Beating Greece post Euro '04 doesn't seem to be the greatest achievement...

Pedro Delgado · 07-06-2006, 01:45 AM

I'm looking foward to seeing how the Aussies fair, if they play out of their skins and the top lads fire they have a chance I think. Croatia is the crunch game, I reckon you'll beat Japan, forget about Brazil obviously. Am liking this group.
