Australia beat Brazil 1 : nil in the playoff for 3rd spot in the Confederations Cup. It was a good game, with Brazil controlling the tempo with Austrlia willing to sit back and defend and counter attack. Australia scored late in the second half from a header off of a free kick from wide on the right.

Quick Summery of the the tournament.

Australia 2 : Mexico 0

Australia 1 : France 0

Australia 0 : S. Korea 1 (this game deserved to be a draw).

Australia 0 : Japan 1 (We totally dominated this match, and there was no way Japan should ever of scored. Their goalkeeper played a blinder. Oh the game was played in the middle of a monsoon).

Australia 1 : Brazil 0

Didn't Brazil have a reserve side out though? Somebody said that yesterday but I haven't seen the team myself.

The game was played in a monsoon - well now you all know what the world cup will be like - wet and sticky (careful Gav).
