Just want to say congratulations to Australia in winning their place in the World Cup finals. I think they deserved it more than Uruguay anyway. Uruguay is too cocky about their "divine rights" to be in Germany, which is based on their grandfather team and not the curent team. Anyway, it is good to see an Oceania team in the finals for as long as I can remember. Good job!

There were 3 teams in the playoffs i hoped didn't qualify: Spain, Uruguay and Bahrain.
Spain - because their manager is a racist and spain has been a consistent flop in the world cup over the years. Slovakia can't do any worst.
Bahrain - a team that doesn't play football but prefer to engage in spoilng tactics and time-wasting. They feign injuries after every tackle and spend more time on the ground. And worst, their manager encourages them. Pathetic team.
In fact, FIFA already did a grave injustice by nulling the initial match with Uzbekistan, which Uzbekistan won 1-0 but should have won by default. Thus if they qualified, it would have been an even greater insult.
Uruguay - Similar to Bahrain but has not reach such a despicable level yet.
Kudos to the aussies, swiss, T & Ts and Czechs though....great job done.
Pity Slovakia lost...after the 5-1 demo job in spain, guess it was simply too 'Everest' to overcome for them.

Congrats to Australia!
Wah lao, you all forgot the most important factor, coach Guus Hiddink lah. Holland was in the semis in 1998 bcos of him, South Korea was in semis in 2002 also becos of him. Guess Australia will be in the semis in 2006 too. Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda.........
