Adelaide should probably bid for UAE or Thailand but neither will see much return in tourism dollars.

I agree. The commentary in this country is atrocious.

Be a lot better more exciting than watching England under at Roy at Euros.

I would expect a comment like that from someone who changes clubs and countries at the drop of a hat.

Let's hope that bit of cheating to bring the equaliser livens this game up a bit.

Smith has played a cracker of a game. I saw Gambau on the bench too when did that happen?

I thought a draw was fair. Japan better in the 1st half, cons better in 2nd. Dull game with time wasting tactics from both sides. I wish I could find a bird who went down as easy as the con for the penalty.

Japan certainly the happier with that result.

Not sure how Aussies think they're going to win world cup matches if they cant create opportunities to get shots on target at home against a poor team like Japan.
They wont face a weaker opponent at the world cup, assuming they get there.
