Oz simply have to qualify so that they can get a chance to meet the dirty cheating, diving, penalty grabbing Italians again and give them payback for 2006.
I think the Socceroos should treat this as a practice match for that forthcoming encounter and just pretend that Germany are in fact Italy.

here is an excerpt from the mild mannered BBC for the lazyWith the clock ticking down, Fabio Grosso marauded down the left flank and worked his way into the box before falling over Lucas Neill's prone body.
Totti kept his nerve to convert with the last kick of the game, breaking Australian hearts in Kaiserslautern.
I swear to God if I ever saw Grosso walking down the street I would punch him in the testes. Was praying that he'd miss his penalty in the final.
If we somehow get out of our group I hope we draw Italy. That slimy fucker is injured this time though.
was Totti who converted.. but that wasn't his fault.. it was as you say the cheating rag Grosso.
Im not Aus.. i respect their hard work and organisation and spirit.. and i will never forget that game as it was one of the most despicable acts of cheating in football after the Australians had to all intents and purposes pretty much outplayed Italy for the whole game. How the fuclin ref fell for it i have no idea.. but the whole thing made me super indignant.. i was ranting non stop for hours.. still haven't forgotten it and never will until the BIG REVENGE arrives.
cmon Aus..remember the last kick of the last WC finals game you played.. (i know it is Germany but it doesn't matter)
