Had great seats, just a few rows back on the half-way line. The only thing about being so close is you lose perspective when the ball is on the other side of the pitch.
I'm going to watch the game again (I recorded it) but one thing I really got a sense of was that Korea deserved to win. If any of you play in a club or even socially, you can see pretty quickly in person who the good players are. Korea absolutely schooled Australia down the wings, you could see from the body language - when Australia was attacking, the Korean players just looked like they were totally comfortable, knew what was happening, didn't get surprised. When they got the ball, the Aussies looked like they didn't know what was coming, didn't know which way the player was going to break, etc.
I think a lot of it comes from their movement off the ball, which you don't see so much of on TV.
Funny thing, the faux "equaliser" was actually put up on the scoreboard as a goal, the crowd went absolutely ballistic, even had the scorers confused.

Oh, and another thing - I didn't know why Cahill didn't start but I'm not sure it would have made a difference. We had chances, Cruse's miss was horrible - I had the perfect angle, he had such a huge goal to shoot at and he smashes it straight into the keeper. He could've gone almost anywhere, or even passed it left as there was another player open.
But aside from that, it was the leadup play that was sub-standard. Watching Cahill, you knew nothing was going to happen because no one was getting in a good position to deliver him the ball.
