Cockytoos Storm Into Last 16

It’s bad enough that they call their team the Socceroos, but now Australians will be absolutely impossible to live with after a late Harry Kewell equaliser was enough to send Guus Hiddink’s yellow and green fighting machine into the last 16 of the 2006 World Cup.

After twice coming from behind against Croatia in a game that featured three red cards, the Aussies now face a formidable test of their ability, organisation and spirit – a date with the Italians in the first phase of the knockout stage of the competition.
