Australia plays rough against Holland

 

Last night Australia met Holland in a friendly match before the beginning of the World Cup in Germany. I bet the Dutch coach regrets letting his best squad out to play Socceroos as the Aussies played a very rough game of football. As a result of that Wilkshire got a red card at the end of second half.

Generally Holland played better football throughout the game, however Australian goalkeeper Mark Schwartzer was just too good for the Dutch strikers.

The final score is 1-1. (V.Nisteroy (NED), T.Cahill(AUS))
