Phew! Just had a walk round the garden to calm my nerves!!!!
The Aussies looked really nervous for the opening 20-25mins and with good reason. The Uruguayans are very technically gifted especially up front and our defenders will have to concentrate for the full 90mins to keep them out. Getting the goal reasonably early has definately heped though and Guus should be able to calm them down at the break and remind them of how they can play when they want to. I notice he made a thing in the prerss today about not being afraid of extra time. I think patience will be the key as hopefully the Uraguayans will suffer from the long trip and slightly shorter rest. Would you say that the Aussie guys particularly those form the English teams will be more used to fast paced games and should be fitter?
