The Olympics are over but this time it's football misery, as the Socceroo's were defeated 3-1 by minnows Scotland.


Scotland came from a goal behind to beat Australia in their friendly match at Easter Road to give themselves a boost ahead of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers which begin next month.
Socceroos midfielder Marco Bresciano opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a thunderous volley from distance, before Jordan Rhodes scored his first Scotland goal in his first start in the 28th minute with a diving header from a Danny Fox cross.
Australia substitute Jason Davidson put through his own goal with a header from a Fox cross in the 63rd minute, five minutes after replacing David Carney to make his debut, before Scotland substitute Ross McCormack, who had replaced Rhodes, stretched the home side's lead in the 76th minute with a drive from the edge of the box.
