Wait people here have been watching the Asian Cup??
Havent missed one of Australia's games myself, was so doubtful of the team coming into the tournament. We were just so Cahill reliant up front, now we have 10 individual goalscorers in the Asian Cup this year =D
Cant wait to take on South Korea in the final, if we can win then this team will probably go down as the 2nd greatest Aussie team of all time, sorry but nothing surpasses the 06 World Cup squad... well maybe a QF appearance =P

I dunno, I think winning a major trophy, in Australia as well, would be better than their 2006 world cup.

Considering how poor Asian football is compared to most of the world it isnt the most impressive thing to win, still great for an Asian country though. Also the general attention around it is just, well meh. Sure its in the news each day and some people are talking but its nothing compared to how big it was back in 06. Hell us making the WC was a bigger deal then what we are doing now is in the AC let alone the fact we made the knockout stages.

Oh well who cares, lets just hope its not a repeat of 2011 for us ='(
