Against a much younger and much quicker opponent the best hope for Australia, apart from the referee who was wearing red colours for Korea against Japan in the semi-final, would appear to be another Schwarzer blinder and a prayer that the Japanese lose their radar in front of goal.

Failing that it is difficult to see Australia win, but in any case they will have a significant advantage in height and strength, but the question remains can they keep up yet alone catch the Japanese?
