The replacement cost — $AUD 129.00!!  Daylight robbery.

Australia controlled the tempo for most of the game and played attacking football. An inspired move to bring Brechiano on … he made a big impact in the last 20 minutes with the penetration and depth of his balls into the box. Guus for PM!! I don’t understand Croatia’s tactics. What were they thinking? They went defensive everytime they hit the front, despite Australia being less than convincing–and at times shaky–down back. And three yellow cards to the one player? … I’ve not seen that before!

They’ve just named a cyclone after me!
