Well, tonights the night when the final place for Germany 2006 is decided. All Australian soccer fans have been here before, usually to their bitter disappointment. Tonight is the rematch between Uruguay and the Socceroos - the first leg won by Uruguay 3 days ago in Montevideo, 1-0.
On home soil, Australia have a distinct advantage. A sell-out crowd at the Olympic Stadium in Sydney and a small deficit to make up. But Uruguay are the masters of the away draw and have the brilliant Recoba, well able to score from any situation. Getting a goal past the Uruguayan defence will be difficult and if the visitors score (say, on a breakaway), well, it may well be goodnight Germany.
I'm going to make a bold prediction. Tonight, the World Cup hoodoo of some thirty years will be lifted, any curses formerly made will be ended, and goals will flow......Maybe 5-0. Its not impossible and its certainly deserved.
Go Australia!!!
