Northlondon are you kidding? Emerton is a fantastic player, he is a more than capable at both defending and bringing the ball up the field, the same goes for Chipperfield. Moore is a very solid defender and he doesn't let much get past him. In our last several World Cup qualifiers that have counted, Kewell has been the one to create dangerous runs into the penalty box.
You don't seem to have any knowledge about Australia.... so your opinion is invalid.

and to say that australia is nothing without cahill is not true australia beat the netherlands 2-1 in eindhoven in a friendly without cahill , yes it was only a friendly, but it was quality opposition
some of the posts here need to stop being pessimistic towards Japan and Australia and be more realistic!

In the world cup, the groups are split into pots by continent, it's highly probable that both Japan and Australia will each be in a group with 1 African team, 1 North or South American team, and 1 or 2 European teams
e.g Group A Tunisia, Chile, England, Japan Group B Gabon Uruguay Netherlands, Australia
to get through the group stage, you just need to gather more points than 2 other teams, that's not easy, but it can be done
both nations will want to avoid a group of death such as e.g Group C Ivory Coast, Brazil, England, Japan

beowulf, you can't judge last nights performance as an accurate indicator for what will happen in the world cup
both sides were half B squad, neither had to win, there was no extreme pressure, it's nothing like a world cup game
it was still an entertaining and fun game though i thought ( I am Australian)
