    Rogic has a great shot, better passing range and better ball control than Irvine.

    I don't see Jedinak in the side ... we need to score and Luongo is no mug in defense.

    Australia can keep this close if they play like they did against France. Physical and Organized.
    I could see a 0-0 but hope goals are scored as a neutral.

    I'm hoping and thinking they will both come out firing. I have no skin in this game but I would like to see Peru get out of this round .

    I don't know if it would be wise for Australia to come out firing. IT may leave them vulnerable in the back.
    But we shall see.

    I don;t think they will either. The Danes although not as big a threat as the French, are still very dangerous- I expect a cagey first 45 minutes.

    Which of course means it could end up 3-2 at half time! :D

    Us neutrals would love something like that.

    Too many low scoring games lately.

    Great start this. Fairly even teams, but the danes have the only real star in this game.

    As expected. The Danes feel they can get after the Aussies and the Aussies think they are athletic enough to play with the Danes.

    The problem is the Danes don't play in Asia.

    If anyone on the Peru team had Erikson's composure they would have won by 3 versus the Danes.

    Australia's Dutch manager looks like a tourist waiting to get into some museum.

    Aussies need to change tactics asap. This man to man pressure the danes are doing is really messing up their build up game.

    Aussies are a brown haired version of the Danes.

    I hate to say this but I have three friends , pretty good friends from Peru and they are all big coke heads. Maybe this says more about the company I keep but they each have access to high grade stuff. I'm not saying all people from Peru are coke heads, I'm saying they could be .
