Australia Gets Their Beatdown

Team USA buried a big Paul Hogan-style knife into the Australian national team last night, winning by 40 in a game that wasn't as close as the score would indicate. Carmelo had 20, Joe Johnson 18, Dwyane Wade 15, and Shane Battier and Chris Bosh had 12 each. More »

All Hail The Glorious People's Italian Football Collective!

Reverberations from Italy's 1-0 World Cup win over Australia on Monday continue. The Italians won on a disputed penalty kick in the final seconds of stoppage time, and it's caused a whole fuss. Australian assistant coach Graham Arnold told the Australia Daily Telegraph that "FIFA didn't want us here in the first place," and Australian Prime Minister John Howard told the BBC he was "brokenhearted." Many people are stopping just short of claiming that the match was fixed. More »

Live Blog: Australia Vs. Croatia

This game is deceptively underbilled; it's pretty huge, actually. If Australia earns a tie or a win, the Socceroos will advance to the next round; a win for Croatia does the same for them, barring something crazy from Japan against Brazil. It's rare that this round of games end up with two teams playing against each other for the last slot, but it looks like what we've got here. More »

Checking In At The World Cup...

Brazil 2-0 Australia. It might just be me, but does Brazil seem a little but underwhelming thus far? They seemed lethargic in their 1-0 win over Croatia, and all anyone could talk about afterwards was Ronaldo's apparent tubbiness, and Australia really gave them all they wanted today. They do not look like the shoo-in some projected them to be. As for the Socceroos, if they manage even a tie against Croatia, they'll be advancing to the knockout round... More »
