Went to fed square again to watch that, but it was closed off. So we made the trek down to the muddy area to watch on the second screen. I'm just happy we've made it.
It's interesting though, who was the team Guus Hiddink's south korean team played in the last world cup? Italy. Then who did they play? Spain. Then they lost to Germany in the semi.
Should Australia beat italy, we'd most likely play spain, then Germany in the semi. Wouldn't be too bad if that happened.
Another point, America are ranked 5th because they have played so many friendly games. And i'll think you'll find several other teams are ranked 5th. The FIFA rankings are pretty ambiguous.
And ffs. There are no SEEDS. The draw is done randomly, this isn't tennis. If it was done by their rankings, it would be nothing like it is now. I mean look at it.
Group F Group E
Australia ranked 42nd Czech Republic ranked 2nd
Brazil ranked 1st USA ranked 5th
Croatia ranked 39th Italy ranked 6th (i think???)
Japan ranked 18th Ghana ranked (over 50 i think they were)
How can you say these teams have been seeded
