1. Australia are playing well defensively

Quickly closing Brazil down.

3. Australia's midfield is a bit all over the place

and they're not able to capitalise effectively on repossessions of the ball.

4. Aussies playing pretty well so far.

I fear it's just a matter of time though... The Brazilians seem a bit anxious though.

I'd like to see the Aussies attack more.

5. The Aussies are hanging in there!

I love a good upset, but on the other hand, I'd really like to see Ronaldo and Rhonaldino score!

6. Again, great defending by Australia

I have to wonder whether they can keep it up for the rest of the match.
