Bresciano has been out injured for a while. He's also an attacking midfilder and not realluy known for his defending.

China have so far done their homework against Oz.  Looking for the aerial balls in from the sides, not worrying about the centre.

China have been very solid. They are very much in this contest.

Second half will be a test of their fitness.  They have been under the pump for most of the half, but they are stopping many attacks down the side.

The possession stats surprise me a little altough quite a lot of oz possession was in the back and mid thirds though with China sitting deeper (i.e. not threatening possession).

He is also not good enough.

Scored a great goal 8 years ago on Pro Evo 6...

haha now I think about it it was two days after the first Phoenix game and while I was the same amount of time into a spell living in Korea, do more 7 and a bit.

Hope Hao Junmin comes on soon.  I think he will be the key to some quick counterattacks with some rapid fire passing.

Fox guys still predicting comfortable Oz win. Very disjointed first half from them. They will have to improve otherwise China may just shock them on the break.

another defender should have picked him up. Slow to react. Also, unless you are knocked out it's a bad idea to go down in that situation.

Still not a true bicycle kick as the ball bounced into the net. It should fly in and ripple the back of the net.

I wonder if oz will sub Milligan for Bresc and play with the 2 def mids soon.

China shoots from outside the box, China out of ideas. Oz shoots, goes high and wide, Oz have their shooting boots on. Cods.

The Arabic commentator is really good (if only I knew what he meant).

Occasional references to Swindon Town.

For a mouthy complaining Oz, Cahill plays some pure football at times. Keeper keeping China in this, momentarily

And a trademark.

For all it is unpopular at the moment, a cross and Tim Cahill header tucked away.
