Australia are the first side to qualify for the World Cup (well, nearly)

Uzbekistan’s hardcore training is in vain
The Socceroos have become the first side to qualify for next year’s World Cup in South Africa after a 2-0 win over Uzbekistan. A goal from Josh Kennedy (no relation to Dr Karl) and a Harry Kewell penalty gave Australia the victory they needed to secure qualification with three games to spare.
The result will be a disappointment to Uzbekistan who were quite up for the game, you might remember!
Actually they only qualify if Bahrain and Qatar draw.
