Good on them, they did well and even though they are out of the tournament they went out with a victory so I think they did great
What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Cruellest Win Of All?
AUSTRALIA have bowed out of the 2010 World Cup at the first hurdle but not before regaining some lost pride after producing a sensational 2-1 win over Serbia - a result which also cost the Balkan nation a chance of making it to the knockout stages.
Have your say.

Am a shattered but also a very proud aussie.
The boys gave 150% and restored my belief that we really are a top 20 football nation.We truly belonged at the WC. In World Cups you obviously need to win but luck also plays such an important part and we had none. The red cards shagged us. Most top quality teams with 10 men would have got toweled up and bent over by the Germans. Finishing with 4 points is respectable.
Honorable mentions must go to Schwartzy, Beauchamp and Holman. And, yes im still removing the egg from my face when it comes to Holman. Hes proved me totally wrong.
Am also impressed with Valeri he looks like he could end up being quality.
The future looks bright i just hope we can get sum tip top friendlies organised against more 1- 10 ranked nations to bring these young guyz on. Hopefully a quality o/s coach will help these young guyz develop with confidence and the killer aussie instinct. Have heard Scolari mentioned and the current Chilean coach. Wouldnt hurt us to move away from the Dutch model.
We have alot to be positive about moving forward.
