The Daily Telegraph , true to its name, was more succinct: "Enjoy a week or two off Pim- you've plenty to think about." The Sydney Morning Herald lamented the fact that Australia had spoiled their excellentrecord in home qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup: " The onlycertainty is that Pim Verbeek has to look harder in the mirror, andcloser at his dressing room. Australia's first World Cup defeat onhome soil in 27 years was a sobering experience. There's no pointpapering over the cracks."
Some in the Chinese media, by comparison, took some time off fromblasting their team and dished out some cautious praise. "Althoughthe result did little to change China's fate as analready-eliminated team, at least the national team can walk awaywith their head held high," observed the Jiangmen Daily .
The Peninsula Morning Post , however, was less forgiving: "After the academic match againstAustralia yesterday, we are facing the tragic fact that, despitethe win, China have slipped into the third tier of Asian teams."
East Asians fail to impress
Another match which had no bearing on qualification was the Group 2encounter between already-qualified Japan and Bahrain. Although theJapanese were delighted to reverse the defeat which had unsettledthe early part of their campaign, the Asahi Shimbun was sanguine about Japan's chances in the next stage, given theirearly stumbles: "One thing we must understand is that Japan islonger the top dog in Asia," was the conclusion.
Nikkan Sports expounded on the problems facing Japan in the next stage: "Theroad to South Africa must seem a long one for Japan at the moment;it is worrying that Japan only won [against Bahrain] with such alucky goal. It will be tough to fight teams stronger than Bahrainwithout much more variation in attack."
