This one has started very brightly - almost has a Premiership feel to it. It sounds as if there is a great atmosphere in the stadium.

I've avoided picking on the ESPN announcers but I can't let this one go - "Alex on the ball for Japan, certainly looks Brazilian."  Maybe the name might have provided a clue that the Japanese player isn't born and bred.

Fifteen minutes gone and the game is still going from end-to-end. Viduka and Emerton are playing with fire in their bellies - Boro and Blackburn fans must be rubbing their eyes.

Australia need to get Bresciano and Kewell the ball.
