What a comeback from Australia. First it was 1-0 to Japan then, Australia scores 3 goals in the last 8 minutes of the second half.

The first goal for Japan was scored by Celtic player, Shunsuke Nakamura during the early first half. It looked like Australia's goalkeeper Viduka was bumped into by Yanagisawa but, from the replays, I think Atsushi himself was knocked over too so it shouldn't be a foul.

Next, just when it looked as if Japan was going to win the game 1-0 towards the end of the second half, the substitutes Cahill and Aloisi net 3 goals. Nice finish.

I don't usually watch football but since this is the world cup, I'll be keeping track of how well the two Far East Asian teams play. Too bad Japan lost their first match but they played well.

????????

Hmm... First time I heard there's a Japanese player in Celtic.
