Oh give me a break all this "risk him" bullsh*t.

If he isn't 100% fit now then he shouldn't be in the bloody squad. "Risking" him for 10min against Germany would've been my preference, give him a quick run.

Obviously he's not going to be match fit, having been out for a while. But whether he's being 'risked' in a game we can win v a game we can't is a 50/50 question.

At some point we have to take a 'risk' and send him out there. How else is he supposed to get match fitness?

Starting him against Ghana is more of a risk than giving him 20 against Germany.

IMO we should have at the very least given him a run towards the end. At least that way he'd feel a bit more prepped for the next 2 games.

Galatasaray winger Kewell fully fit for Australia: Could have faced Germany
15.06.10 | tribalfootball.com

Galatasaray winger Harry Kewell was fully fit for Australia's World Cup opener against Germany, tribalfootball.com has learned.

A source deep inside the Australia camp has told tribalfootball.com that Kewell is convinced he is in 100 per cent top shape and could have started Sunday night's dismal defeat to Germany.

Australia's medical chiefs have also given the former Leeds United and Liverpool star the all clear.

For Kewell's part, he is convinced he has 90 minutes in his legs and can start against Ghana this weekend.
