2006 FIFA World Cup Group F
Football tournament
Football tournament
Play in Group F of the 2006 FIFA World Cup began on 12 June and completed on 22 June 2006. Brazil won the group and advanced to the round of 16, along with runners-up Australia. Croatia and Japan failed to advance. Australia's win against Japan was the first (and so far only) by a team from the Oceania Football Confederation, having switched to the Asian Football Confederation after the tournament. It is also the only time that a team from the OFC has advanced to the second round of the tournament, as in 1974 Australia went out in the first round.
Standings
Brazil advanced to play Ghana (runners-up of Group E) in the round of 16.
Australia advanced to play Italy (winner of Group E) in the round of 16.

Notes
References
Šimunić was given three yellow cards in the match: the referee ([[Graham Poll]]) failed to send him off the pitch after the second yellow, and was only red carded after the third yellow. The original FIFA match report listed all three yellow cards, however was revised shortly after, with the second yellow card (90') not being recorded; it is unknown whether this was for consistency in the reports, or whether the card was retrospectively overturned.
