WorldCup 2006 Game: Australia 3 - Japan 1, Cahill Scores Twice

Australia 3 Japan 1
This is a crucial match for these two teams, they must go for a win, a draw won't help either team. I hope they do draw because that will give my team (Croatia) a better chance. I hope that Croatia wins against Brazil of course but that will be very hard to pull off. Here are the line ups for this game
