Hiddinka team won a strong -willed victory over the Japanese

On Monday, at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, national teams of Australia and Japan were the first to clarify relations. Judging by the sowing of the draw, these two teams are formal outsiders of the group F, in which the prefabricated Brazil and Croatia are considered the main candidates for access to the playoffs. That is why the chances of leaving the group of the loser in this confrontation became the most ghostly.

World Cup-2006: Participants, results and schedule

The Australians powerfully began the meeting, relying a riding struggle. Tall representatives of the green continent replayed the Asians on the "second floor" in the execution of standards and canopies in the penalty Kavaguchi. The Japanese responded to this with lightning -fast counterattacks, in one of which Sunsuke Nakamura managed to take advantage of the gross mistake of the goalkeeper of Australia, Mark Schwartzer.

The first half took place in counterclaims and at a very high pace, however, with a certain game advantage, the Hiddinka wards could not realize their moments. The Japanese, on the other hand, inflicted the only blow to the target of the gate (against three at the opponent), who reached the goal.

The second half of the meeting began to be carefully, which was quite satisfied with the Japanese. Ziko's wards devoted himself entirely to holding the minimum advantage, and this tactic had its fruits up to the 84th minutes of the meeting. The hopes of the Japanese to score the first three points were dispelled by Tim Kaychil, who shot empty gates after the mistake of the goalkeeper Kavaguchi.

Causing the score, Hiddinka’s wards immediately developed their success on the courage. Five minutes later, the same Kaychil scored a double, taking the Australians forward, and already in the added time of the demoralized Asians finally “finished off” Aloisi.

Having won a strong-willed victory, the Green Continent team unequivocally made it clear that the fate of the second ticket to the playoffs from group F was far from defined. Hiddinka wards will hold their next match at the 2006 World Cup on June 18 against the current world champions of the Brazilians. And the Japanese team on the same day will meet with the Croats.

The Australian national team, led by the future head coach of the Russian national team Gus Hiddin, for the first time since 1974 reached the final part of the mundial. The Japanese in the elite of world football do not feel newcomers. Ziko's wards became the first team after Germany to issue a ticket to the 2006 World Cup. The previous tournament from the rising sun ended at the 1/8 finals, outplaying the Russian team in the group match.

We add that at the last world championship, the current Australian mentor Gus Hiddink brought the Korea team to the semifinals. Immediately after the 2006 World Cup, he will head the Russian team, which unsuccessfully held the qualifying tournament and could not break into the main forum of the four-year period.

It is also worth noting that until today the fans had the happiness of seeing exactly half of the best football teams of the world. From Monday, having crossed the peculiar "equator", 16 more teams in 4 groups join the struggle.

On Monday, the match of the US and the Czech Republic at the World Cup, the representatives of the E. The Czech team, which today occupies the second line in the ranking of the best prefabricated planet, began to clarify relations, without much effort has confirmed its favor, defeating the opponent with a score of 3-0 .

In the last match of the next gaming day, the fans were invited to observe the confrontation of Italy and Ghana. Although the favorite in this confrontation was three -time world champions, the Gan residents could well have a surprise.
