Sydney - Football fans were convinced Thursday that Australia would make it to a third World Cup, after their team snatched a goal in injury time to clinch a 1-0 victory over Bahrain in Manama.

Palermo midfielder Mark Bresciano blasted past goalkeeper Sayed Jaffer to consolidate Australia's position atop of their qualifying group.

The top two Group One teams in these Asian qualifiers will play in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, while the runners-up will play each other home-and-away, with the winner advancing to an inter- confederation play-off against New Zealand.

Rate scores new high overnight into early New York but sellers take a stand; likely stops building in size over the 1.3520/30 area. Firm NY open likely to attract offers if US data is USD-supportive. Close at 1.3380 area last week makes a seven week high close and argues for more upside coming but a correction is likely.

Likely bulls will lighten up. OK to buy a dip on a test of 1.3080 area near-term; dips likely to be bought hard now that sellers couldn't make a stand over 1.3000 with confidence on the three tries last week. Support also from cross-spreaders as they unwind Yen.

Rate is an absolute screaming buy in my view-I can't see further weakness being ignored by the buyers.
