One point away

Last night the Socceroos had an emphatic 2-0 win over Uzbekistan in Sydney, putting them one point away from qualification for South Africa 2010.

Four years ago it was a different story. Qualification went down to the wire. No one will have forgotten that night in Sydney when qualifying was decided on penalties. Fast forward to last night and after the win the Socceroos need one more point to qualify with three games in hand.

A draw in any of those games will be good enough. But can you see our squad sitting on their hands and playing for a draw? Not likely…
