Tonight the Socceroos kick off the beginning of the end of their World Cup campaign for 2010 with a friendly against New Zealand in Melbourne. On paper, the Australian team has the goods on the more lowly rated (see Fifa rankings) New Zealanders, but this may be a poor indication of how the game will go. Games like these often have the air of local derbies in which underdogs lift themselves and NZ have beaten Australia in some critical encounters in the past.
Still, I do hope that there is a big crowd and that Australia play well and put a few in. Especially Scotty McDonald, who really needs to break his drought.
C'mon Australia!
