Sometimes I wished...
that the world ended with me. And that I still had my copy of The World Ends With You. What a great game.

Germany Vs Australia
After a performance that sent shockwaves throughout the Footballing World, Australia come up against much stronger opponents in the form of Germany. A top of the table clash that will be a telling tale in where both sides are in terms of form and more importantly, their chances in winning the World Cup. Stay tuned...
KICK OFF
4th minute - GOAL for Mario Gomez. Disastrous start for Australia, after Gomez slots in a rebounded shot from Schwarzer. 1-0 Germany
13th minute GOAL for Tim Cahill. Equalizer! Tim Cahill has four for the tournament after he volleys a cross from Bresciano into the goal. 1-1.
24th minute - Header by a German forward fizzes past the post. Still 1-1.
38th minute - A chance for Kennedy to add to his goals for the tournament after a breakaway. Shoots straight at the keeper which results in a corner...1-1
HALF TIME
Australia starting to take control towards the end of the half. Both sides with chances to take the lead but a combination of good defending and poor finishing leaves the scores deadlocked. Stay tuned...
SECOND HALF
47th minute - Early in the second half and Kennedy rises high for a header. Past the keeper but past the post too.
57th minute - GOAL for Scott Chipperfield. Contentious penalty after Kewell breaks into the box and is brought down as he attempts to score. Chipperfield sends the keeper the wrong way. 2-1 Australia.
65th minute - Australian defense almost made to pay for laziness. Gomez' shot bounces off the crossbar, oh so close.
76th minute - GOAL for Harry Kewell. Quick counterattack by Australia and there is no one defending for Germany. One on One with the keeper and Kewell has his first goal for the tournament. 3-1.
89th Minute - Germany still desperate to salvage a goal. Gomez comes up with another shot but once again it bounces off the post.
FULL TIME Australia 3 - 1 Germany
Both sides in it until the penalty was given. From that point it looked like the Germans were playing catch up. Another goal to Australia and it looked clear from that point. Germany also guilty of not taking their chances when it counted. The Australians clear at the top of Group D and guaranteed a spot in the round of 16! Celebrations ahead!

Australia Vs Scotland
Jared Araniego here providing updates on Australia's first match in the 2010 FIFA (Virtual) World Cup. Can Australia build some confidence with a good performance against Scotland? They're gonna need it in their next games against Germany and Croatia. Stay here to find out...
THE MATCH STARTS!
9th minute - GOAL to Tim Cahill after a quick breakaway. 1-0
19th minute - GOAL to Tim Cahill. Exchange of passes, Cahill takes a shot just outside the box, keeper can get a finger to it but not enough and it goes in. 2-0
23rd min - yellow for C.Moore
27th min - GOAL for Mark Bresciano after a combination of good passing and lacklustre defence allows him to calmly a slot a goal into the bottom left corner. 3-0
35th min - GOAL for Josh Kennedy. Bad marking and defending allows Kennedy to get into some space, shoots pass the keeper into the goal. 4-0
40th min - GOAL for Josh Kennedy. Counterattack catches Scotland off guard, no reply to quick passing and Kennedy scores. 5-0
44th min - Australian defence caught napping with McFadden latching onto a cross from Miller, providing the first real test for Schwarzer. Rebounds off the post and tipped away by the Australian Goal keeper. Corner.
45th min - A red card for Naysmith caps off a horror first half for Scotland. Australia with a chance to score another goal going into halftime.
45th min - GOAL for Mark Bresciano. A free kick for Bresciano pays dividends with the aussie scoring a spectacular goal. 6-0
45th min - Own Goal for Scotland. Can it get any worse? A mix up at the back ends with Caldwell kicking it into his goal. Oh dear..7-0
HALF TIME 7-0 to Australia.
Well the scoreline tells the story. 7-0 to Australia. One side completely dominating while the other side is playing the worst football imaginable. No way back for Scotland from here...
SECOND HALF STARTS
46th min - GOAL for Josh Kennedy. HAT-TRICK! Again bad defending from Scotland and quick passing from Australia results in yet another goal. 8-0
57th min - GOAL for Josh Kennedy. Four!! It's Arshavin all over again. Martin Tyler thinks the game is over after that goal. I thought it was over in the first half. Each to their own I guess. 9-0
68th minute - Rare chance for Scotland as Schwarzer tips away a header from one of the forwards. Corner…
74th minute - GOAL for Fletcher. FINALLY Scotland gets on the board after a mix up between goalie and defender. Thrown straight to one of the forwards, passed to Fletcher and he takes the chance. Any hope of a comeback though? 9-1
75th minute - GOAL for Josh Kennedy. Right from the kick off, Australia catch Scotland napping and a few passes later, Kennedy's in for his fifth. 10-1.
89th minute - GOAL for Tim Cahill. Him and Josh Kennedy will be fighting for the match ball, because they've both got Hat-Tricks. 11-1
FULL TIME AUSTRALIA 11 - 1 SCOTLAND
I don't think anyone expected such a smashing performance from Australia. Dominating a lackluster Scottish side that didn't have any answers.

Can Paul the Octopus predict this result?
So what do you do when you don't have the official FIFA 2010 World Cup game? You attempt to make the World Cup in the next best thing, which in my case is FIFA 10.
Yes I know Japan isn't there along with some other teams, so I'm gonna have to make do with what I have. Of course I'll be playing as Australia, cause there isn't a Filipino team. C'mon guys! Make yourself a powerhouse of Football!!
Wish me luck!
