Socceroos march on...but still no shots.

It's fantastic football, when you are top of the group on the way to the next World Cup.

0-0. Love it.

So I reckon we had one shot against Uzbekistan but played well. 3 points
One late late shot against Bahrain, totally outplayed 3 points.
No shots against Japan unless you count Tim Cahill's (a striker?) pass back. 1 point.

It's not pretty upfront, but defensively we are reasonably sound and thank god we come up against the ever pretty but ever toothless Japanese attack in front of goal.

Still we're on the way but the lack of depth for Emerton, Kewell and Viduka is beginning to stand out.

With any of those three on the park last night we would have created one, just one chance. That could have been enough to win the game.

For those without Fox think yourself lucky.

The crowd was awesome. It was tense. Endo showed the J-League can waltz over Adelaide in ACL finals but he's still got a way to go against the European boys.

Japan pretty to watch, pretty toothless though in front of 65,000.
Australia...tight enough in defence, miserable to watch.

And Brett Holman..the instructions were NOT to give free-kicks away out the box...guess you weren't listening Brett!
