Soccer World Cup - Australia Betting Update - 06-11-06

June 11 - After 32 years out in the cold, Australia will finally make their second Soccer World Cup appearance when they take on Japan in their opening World Cup match at the 2006 Finals. Many believe that this is Australia's final - lose the game and they will struggle to make it through the group stages...

Australia won a heart stopping penalty kick shootout against Uruguay to win a birth at the World Cup Finals. The long wait is over today when Australian Striker Mark Viduka (+600 First Goal Scorer on Canbet.com) leads the Socceroos onto the field in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Fellow Australian and English Premiership player Harry Kewell is +700 on Canbet.

The island nation has put their money on Australia (+155 on Canbet) to kick off their campaign with a first up win. Japan is quoted at +200 on Canbet.com, as is the draw.

The game will be played at 3 pm local time with the heat certain to be a factor for both sides. Australian boss Guus Hiddink has worked his players hard in the lead up to the World Cup finals and that work will no doubt put the players in good shape for the all-important clash.

Australia’s second game is against current World Cup holders Brazil, meaning tonight’s clash is a must win game for the Socceroos if they are to play a deciding game when they take on Croatia in their third and final group match.
