Default Game Thread: Australia vs Japan June 12

Well, today is the big day for Australia. The last time we played a match in the World Cup I was just 50 days old having been born the previous month. Now though we have returned and this time we are looking to improve on our 1974 performance. Firstly we are looking to score our first World Cup goal having not scored a single one in 1974. Secondly we are looking to get at least a win in the group stages and hopefully that will be today against Japan. Then after that we face the almighty Brazil followed finally by Croatia.

Kickoff today is at 1400 (GMT+1 time).

Go the Socceroos!

Honestly I see Japan winning over Australia and not vice versa.

We'll see. Japan are favourites, but I'm confident of an Aussie victory.

It is just the name given to our national team. The soccer part you obviously know. The 'roos' refers to one of our most well known animals, the humble kangaroo. Roo is Aussie slang or shorthand for a kangaroo. Hope this clarifies for you.
