Australia has the best chance ever of getting through this round of the world cup.
I think we can beat Japan and Croatia (both tough matches, for different reasons, but winnable).
We have held Brazil to a draw with a lesser team, so we can do it again, and perhaps even beat them.
Brazil seems to build up a head of steam as it moves through the rounds, and we got them early so we have got a chance.
Aussie Aussie Aussie!

hehe.
Soccer is getting some traction in Australia, one proof of this is the number of high-powered sponsorship offers the sport is getting.
We now run four footy codes and are world class in three (also the only ones in Aussie Rules). With Soccer on the up and up, we will be world powers in all four soon.

Well Guys, don't underestimate the Swiss
We've got secret weapons like cheese to perform anestethic tricks on our opponents. And believe me, the use of this cheese we've got is a serious infringement on the Geneva Convention.
On the other hand...
If the Aussies fill a stade with surfer dudettes and strand beauties, their summarized cleavage, erm, beauty will be the ultimate 'Weapon of Mass Distraction'.
And the Japanese won't be a problem if you just cangaroo-jump over them. Small guys, eyh?
You can't beta France
Yeah, it's perfectly safe to call the French team a beta.

Although Australia holding Brazil to a draw is a possibility .. not a joke at all!

Thanks for the clarification.

Double negative turns positive, no?
That's right then. There should definately be no option that Argentina can't be beaten.
