"But late on Monday SBS announced it had reached an agreement with Optus to simultaneously screen World Cup games for the next two nights."

Make the most of it, Nicksters!

With Holland and Italy yet to play.

Cruyff v Rivera is a mouth-watering match-up and I look forward to seeing how Costacurta, Maldini, Baresi and Albertini cope with Bergkamp, Robben, Johnny Rep and Neeskens.

Eriksen with the early goal.

Denmark 1-0 Australia.

Penalty to Australia for handball.

Jedinak! GOAL!

Denmark 1-1 Australia.

[K]

1-1 at half time.

Somewhat lucky, in that the ball was headed straight on to the hand --- a desperately retreating hand at that.
Jedinak perhaps struggling physically in play, but a remarkable machine from the penalty spot.

Risdon lacks silk, but his endeavour has been excellent.

Entertaining, end-to-end play, even before the 2nd-half fatigue hits. Expect chances for both sides in the second half.
