Kick-off about 12 hours away. I'll be getting up early to watch this one, for sure. A couple of weeks ago, it would have been great to think we could get into the last 16 with a win or a draw against Croatia. So Come On Aussies. Take that opportunity!

Less than 9 hours away now. I reckon it'll be a ridiculously nervous 1-1 draw, seeing Australia wriggle through into the 16, and seeing me pass out in anxiety attacks.

Croatia 2- Australia 1

I'd be very suprised if its a draw as I heard Guus gets a 850k bonus if Australia have 2 wins in the first round of the WC.
It'll be all out attack from Guus!

Trust me when i say he doesnt need the money! Very wealthy man.
I have examined the form guide and i really think we will go 4-2. Croatias need to win will create many holes which guys like Cahill and Viduka will relish on.
I have to work all night but i think ill get a migraine about 4am.

4-2 would be brilliant, although unrealistic I reckon, but Wedgie, why the gloomy prediction of a loss? Come on Aussie, let's rip 'em up!

1-1 at half time. They looked to be jumping all over us early, but after the first 10 minutes or so we definitely had more of the play and the chances. Being back even feels SO good!

Would love that. I reckon we have to keep attacking in the 2nd half, and definitely not try to hang on for the draw...
