Australia played Nederlands (Holland)

The game startedwith an increadible pace with Australia's  Errol Heagney scoring the first goal. Then the Holland started moving the ball with speed around but the Australian team broke there game plan with Beven Hurley scoring again and then again taking Holland 3-1 to the half time break.

Coach Chris Shar looked to have the team playing a perfect game against the top seaded team. Half time started with the Aussies keeping ahead until Holland scored with a nice individual goal. Then from knowhere came Beven Hurley with a slap shot from right mid court into the top left corner...one of the best shots of the champs!!! 4 - 2 with 6 minutes remaining Holland turned on a display of 4 goals in a minute taking back the lead 6 - 4 and then in the dying minute scoring again taking the win 7-4.

Well done to the Aussie team for a great game and coming so close to beating the top seeded team and without Glenn Cox the captain playing due to injury. Aussie must beat Uruguay to finish 3rd in there section other wise they will meet USA in the 2nd round. Good luck guys!!!:)
