Well done, Australia!

How the teams got to the World Cup, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

Three great goals in the last ten minutes of the game against Japan. The first goals ever scored by Australia in the World Cup finals.

Here are a couple of blackboards, found on the backstreets of Stone Town in Zanzibar, titled the Liverpool scoreboard, where the qualifying games for the World Cup are listed, Australia having to get past Uruguay to reach the World Cup finals, which they did through a penalty, I believe, scored by the man who scored the third goal today, Aloisi. So, Uruguay did not go out in vain.

So far in Fred's school pool, the only score we have correctly predicted was Holland's 1-0 win over Serbia and Montenegro yesterday. Next one up is USA vs. Czech Republic, which I might give a miss to, preferring to see Italy against Ghana.
