Then lightning struck - ONCE, TWICE, THRICE - 84, 89, 92. Oh joy, oh bliss, oh sweet sweet sweet satisfaction .

BRING ON BRAZIL!!!
Let me try to point this out to you...

* Takahara was standing with his back towards Schwarzer and couldn't see from where he was coming or whatever action he was going to take.
* Schwarzer had only eyes for the ball and not for the situation in front of him.
* Schwarzer bumped into Takahara, and not the other way around, knocking himself out of balance, Schwarzer can only blame himself for that action.

Therefore there's nothing dubious about the goal, it would have been dubious if the goal had been disallowed. If you wouldn't have been watching the game a a pair of yellow/green glasses on, you'd probably see more clearly.

Of course i cannot ask such a thing from you, so i can feel your pain. But no harm done, Australia got the win, and Schwarzer is forgiven i guess. Good thinking of Guus too i suppose, Cahill and Aloisi came into the match when Japan started to look exhausted, typical Hiddink move.
