The Aussies Won, But what else happened

I know Australia's win is of supreme importance. Tim Cahill is in supreme form. So are many of the Australian side. But there were a few other things happening in sport since Sunday's wrap-up.

In the World Cup
Italy and the Czech Republic have continued what is a notional European dominance (dented by Trinidad and Tobago, and by Ecuador).

In the Rugby
Australia Beat England easily; New Zealand Beat Ireland. The dominance of the Southern Hemisphere seems to be reasserting itself.

League
Canberra defeats Bulldogs, which is a nice result.
Parramatta drenched by the Storm. (The crowd at Parra Stadium made me think there is club soccer there, not NRL).
Origin Tomorrow Night, interesting comments have been made and will continue to be observed.

Tennis
Rafael beats Roger, and things look quite interesting. Definately a change at least on clay has been happening, how much this impacts Roger longer term we will have to wait and see.
