Game # 4 - Chile vs Australia

[catalyst2]

If I am 100 percent honest, I am not surprised by the final result (3-1) but I am disappointed by the way it happened. Australia simply fell asleep for the first twenty minutes of the game and Chile made then pay for that. It is the World Cup and top teams will punish lapses like that harshly. Sadly, once the Socceroos did actually wake up, Australia pretty much matched Chile kick for kick and definitely matched them goal for goal. It was a real shame to give away that third goal in time added on because, as always, goal difference is important. Still, against a very highly rated side, the Socceroos help their own and hopefully can play some more good football against two even more highly rated teams.
