A good result against a good, albeit jet-lagged, opposition.

A solid effort on the field but we were on the wrong end of the scoreline.

This was the big one - the match to decide who would finish top of the group and automatically qualify for the next stage. In the end it was almost an anti-climax as the Socceroos simply overran Jordan.

The Socceroos thoroughly thrashed Tajikistan - an excellent tune up for next week's big game against Jordan.

The Socceroos put the pre-match drama behind them and ran out comfortable winners for the second match in a row.

A dominant performance means the Socceroos are back on track.

Our first loss of the qualifying campaign is cause for concern but should not result in us failing to qualify.

Australia were made to work for it and came away with an important win on the road.

A quality performance that saw us comfortably put away Bangladesh.

A match Australia should win given the relative rankings, but an away game in Asia is always tough. We ground out a 2-1 win and will be happy to take the points.
