What the hell where those Australians doing? They injured Sneijder, Cocu and Gio. Talk about anti-football, the way they injured one Dutch player after the other. Also, Netherlands was denied a penalty (australian touched the ball with his hand, in the penalty box). Wilkshire's red card was the least Australia deserved.
Still, Holland dominated (65% ball possession), and with a little more luck, they would have won. Other than one magnificent save by Vd Sar, and that penalty, Australia really didn't create much, and Viduka was disappointing. I'd expected more from Australia actually. Schwarzer was great, though. Australia won't survive the poule, they'll get beaten by Brazil, and Croatia or Japan.
