It Takes Two to Tango
Australia is one of the biggest surprises in this years World Cup Finals by getting past the group stage. Many thanks to Harry Kewell who has been named as Budweiser Man of the Match after the 2-2 draw between the Socceroos and Croatia and Mark Viduka whose aggresiveness throughout the game helped Australia’s cause.
Harry Kewell served as the inspiration and role model of the team to work as hard as they can to prove their worth and likewise scoring the goal that saw them advance for the first time in the history of the game.
I can be guilty of putting down this team as I have said over at Sporati:
I did not think the Australians could win this won after getting beaten by Brazil in their last game especially for a team that has no record and players with enough experience to play a winnable pressure packed last game. Down 2-1 with 11 minutes remaining, Kewell fired a shot from centre penalty are right low with his right foot straight towards the back of the net. Australia exploded in triumph as they only need a draw to qualify to the next round and after the 79th minute goal it seems they are likely to make history.
Mark Viduka on the other hand impressively led the line alone, mounting a running battle with each of the three Croatian centre backs. He is yet to score a goal but with Kewell providing the scoring numbers and Mark continously serve a big headache to the centre backs; Australia may got get forward a little more.
