North got dragged at HT the other week for Wellington and he starts for Socceroos, what a joke.

Korea to win the tournament!

Blessing in disguise potentially, no grabbing top spot. Gets us on the other side of the draw to Japan and obviously South Korea.

good to see mile jedinak making the most of his chance in centre midfield, we need more players like him to step up before the next world cup

Walter can you please confirm that result of Korea? All other reports Ive seen had them beating India 4-1, hence having Australia finish top.

Australia win the group, in the quarter final play either Iraq or North Korea.

Hi Guys, sorry about the mistake. I was watching the Australia game and they were giving progress scores in the Korea versus India game and I'm sure I heard a late goal made it 5-1. Can anyone tell me if the Koreans did get the ball in the net for a fifth time and whether it was ruled out for some reason? Then again, perhaps it's just my hearing at fault. Apologies and thanks again for the corrections. Much appreciated.
Cheers!

Walter, I watch the game live also. I heard the commentators say that Korea had scored a late goal to go 5-1. I spent the last few minutes of the Aus game hoping for a second goal and went to bed believing Aus had finished second in the group. The commentators appeared confused about what position Aus would end up.
