Round Two - FIGHT!

The Australians went into the final group match two points ahead of Croatia and only needed a draw to reach the last sixteen. Australia, galvanised by the coaching of Dutchman Gus Hiddink, showed incredible tenacity to fight back from being behind twice in the match before 56,000 fans.

And they succeeded with a 2-2 draw and have surpassed all expectations by going to the second round of the World Cup.

Um... why are they celebrating?

Boink!

Dang, I shouldn't have had that curry. Makes me wanna go in a hurry.

Boohoohoo... we suck.

Woohoohoo! We made it!

"Should've chosen the Socceroos instead," Simunic, the Australian-raised turncoat mumbled to himself as he got the marching orders.

Everyone agrees Golden Gus is da man who made the difference for Australia as the new soccer powerhouse.

For your information, there are three Australian raised or born players in the Croatian team and six players of Croatian descent making up the Socceroos.
