Fifa World Cup 2006 Fever

I'm Australian and I support the Socceroos.

I don't support Harry Kewell though. And apparently neither does the rest of the Australian football team. In Australia vs Brazil which was televised yesterday morning from 2:30 am, Brazil scored a resounding 2 goals against Australia. How many did Australia get you say? Nil, 0, zilch, nada.

Now other people place the blame squarely on Kewell's shoulders. There were certain chances and open goals which he could have rightly taken. Like when the goalie went out of the goal to catch the ball, only to let it drop, giving Kewell a wide open goal... but like all the other attempts to score that night, it failed miserably. As they say though, there is no I in team and so Kewell cannot be relied upon to do the job of the rest of his team, at least the rest of the strikers.

He needs support from other team members to score that elusive goal. He's great at passing but he's not a leader, the goal visionary that the team needs him to be. He passes really well, but really, who is he passing to?
