Stone the Cro's!
We won... I'm utterly mentally exhausted after that effort.
As Dave says, match report to follow, but not till Monday I'm afraid...

I won't do a full report. I'm still knackered. Just briefly - Hiddink didn't really get it right, the shape just didn't work well for us. We are missing Popovic and will really miss Emmo against Italy. Once more Neill was my man of the match although Harry came close. Viduka is out of sorts. Chipperfield is our weakest link at the moment. Feel sorry for Kalac although Hiddink never should have dropped Schwarzer - stupid decision. Poll was an absolute disgrace of a dismal fucking joke. We should have had that last goal, he was a real prick about that and other incidents. He should be booted from the tournament. (Unfair to blame him for Harry's offside goal though, it was the linesman's mistake).
Ratings (from dim memory)
Kalac 4 - looked really shaky even doing the simply things. Poor Spider is being vilified for it although his teammates are rightly sticking by him. Dumb decision by Hiddink even to play him with Schwarzer in such good form.
Chipperfield 6 suspect
Neill 8 massive
Moore 6 some mistakes
Emerton 7 unlucky to get the second yellow but was pushing his luck even after he'd got his first
Grella 7 good
Culina 6 disappointing
Cahill 7 active but played too far forward
Sterjovski 6 poor passing
Kewell 8 hungry
Viduka 6 unlucky not to get a penalty but barely involved
Aloisi 6 can't remember him doing anything
Kennedy 7 I'll say it again, a good player to bring in off the bench, very active, wish he could shoot though
Bresciano 6 looking better, needs to be razor sharp against Italy
