[LooKiNKeWeLL]

Still gives me shivers....

[vdeferens]

[fknwogmatee]

BEST NITE

[romuztek]

this still sends chills down my spine

[badhooch]

something i can never EVER forget! simply AWESOME FEELING!!

[solidte]

I was there....watching it on tv in my room. The moment John Aloisi kicked it into the net I jumped up and down on the bed, I had to get a pillow to cover my face because I was shouting so loudly (in happiness of course). A defining moment in Australian sports history, my personal favorite of course.

[denny1990]

still gives us goosebumps watching it great night never forget it

[ConnexTrains]

The night Australia united as one. Still brings a tear to your eye.

[HunterDaYid]

great vid great memories!

[BoldBenHall]

Suck shit UAREGAY. Pity FFA sold off the rites to fucking fox sports. We are there again but who knows and who gives a shit.

[israel22nj]

Shut up ignorant

[waheed490]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[christbone]

what the fuck is the americas cup?

[Aust2008]

The US held the America's Cup for 132 years & in 1984 The Racing Yacht 'Australia 2' owned by Alan Bond of Western Oz won the cup. It was headline news all over the world & when it happened it was 7am & people were dancing in the streets. It was one of the biggest party days Australia has ever experienced. Even though it was an amazing moment this qualifyer win was not winning the actual FIFA World Cup. When the Socceroos win the World Cup then it will be the biggest moment in Australian Sport.

[christbone]

yeh but i judge it on a world scale. no one other than a hand full of countries would know about the americas cup, also how many people do you know that even own a yacht. no we didnt win the world cup but im sure qaulifying for the world cup meant a lot more to aussies than a yacht race.

[GianniGivarche]

True, but more people danced and partied on the street than they did when Australia 2 won the yacht race.

[vdeferens]

Yes, the America's Cup means a lot to Australian society. Every young boy and girl from all walks of life, no matter how poor or uneducated, are always on the backstreets racing yachts and drinking champagne, until their mother's call them in for dinner, and Dad tells them again of the magical story of The WInged Keel. Yes, yacht racing, the most humble and egalitarian of all sports, truly unites us all.

[tomwhalan]

@vdeferens ahahahahah classic

[fleaman2211]

lol stupid channel 10. "rivals the americas cup win in 84...." this was way bigger than that, football is a religion, its life

[raizin8]

i kno, asif anyone gives a shit about boat racing, it not even a sport

[Lerlialen]

actually, it is...

[pmoskoso]

right!

[aldoggcairns]

hey come on, we broke a 132 year winning streak against the yanks for the americas cup

[impecabilidade]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh

[EbenezerSydney]

1:10 Johnny Warren RIP

[Shadowish]

cant watch it, made me cry then makes me cry now. I was so glad to be there that night

[DanielLukic]

LOVE IT!

[soccerdior]

AWESOME VIDEO!! YOU ROCKK!!

[simondice17]

Australia got cheated out of the World Cup. I don't think it's a coincidence that the last time Italy won the World Cup, they happened to have had match-fixing scandals that very same year. What a bullshit penalty that was against Lucas Neill. And we fuckin should've won the Final. Allez Les Bleus.

[Maxkabamm]

Best Moment EVER!

COMON AUSTRALIA!

[happypill101]

I rekon afl rules is a better sport than soccer, BUT that moment still beats any premiership the eagles can win.

awsum... awsum to the max

[NewyForever]

afl..lol wat a shit sport :p

[christbone]

for fucks sake, how can you compare the stupid americas cup and that overated cathy freeman race to this. i mean how many people would you know that actually own a yacht and cathy freeman was always going to win by a mile. this is special and any one who disagrees would be a redneck bogan who likes that other shit sport called 'cricket'

[cloverdalewhite]

You can stuff aussie Rules where the sun don't shine this is real football and Aussie rules will never come anywhere near this at all.

[jdmcghj]

uruguay = U R GAY

[tommywm24]

Screw that god awful America's Cup sailing race...this is Australia's greatest sporting moment!

[rkondev]

Along with utd winning the Champions League, this was one of the best nights of my life :D Even watching it now brings tears to my eyes...

[Roopy87]

Hiddink = God

[diegblo1]

fuk i love Aus

[ils1979]

i like how he compares it to kathy freemans win...who the fuck is kathy freeman....this is football....the biggest sport in australia

[philsoulja]

ill i can say is i hope we can see more of this magic soon...

[pmoskoso]

ur tooootally right

[ryan4lozz]

i cried tears of joy

[Vakant]

ok yatch race would have been big still nothing compared to how many people were on the streets for this match, but cathy ahhahaha comeon thats a joke

[christbone]

how can you compare the americas cup(stupid yacht race no one even cares about) and cathy freemans (100% going to win race) at the olympics to the game against uruguay. there is no comparison, nothing can ever come close to this game. all you football haters wake up.

[killbot86]

what a proud moment for australia........hopefully we can see some more of that magic soon.....

[trentna1]

i remember that glorious day go socceroos

[Shahizzle]

Aww Mate, I love this Video! Brings back all the emotion i felt the day it did happen :)

Ole ..Ole Ole Ole ... Aussie ... Aussie.

Love

[americanaztech]

Australia is a fantastic country

[SirAllanQuatermain]

I got amazed over the massive party on the streets made by aussies.....3rd most popular sport in Australia grabbed huge popular attention in order to see Socceroos again in a World Cup after 32 years....with lots of aussies playing around the globe they finally deserved to qualify for the soccer major competition after many frustated attempts throughout 3 decades.....pity they were ripped off against Italy later....

[ConnexTrains]

Your wrong. Football (Soccer) Is the most played sport in Australia. Followed by Netball then AFL.

[w33nie]

the most played recreationally yes, but it would rank far behind Aussie Rules, Cricket, Rugby League and maybe even Rugby Union as most popular.

Football is my favourite sport by far, in fact I was at this match, but even the FFA don't avoid these facts.

[vcarcuro]

I didn'tknow australians lived football (or soccer) in such an intense way....i thought you only enjoyed rugby and australian football....that makes me even more glad that you classified to the WC....besides....uruguay is not a very loved team here in south america

[AussieGoose]

We do enjoy it, there is a large cult following of the game here, the onyl reason its not mainstream is because the media is controlled by people who hold interests in our other sports like rugby and australian rules, and they continually brainwash people against the wonderful game of football. The reason being that they see it as a threat to those sports that no one else in the world takes seriously.

The tide is slowly turning though

[9944556]

its not just the soccer, aussies support any rep team with full strength no matter what code of football or what sport it is..

[Aust2008]

The tide will definately turn and become a tsunami if we win the right to host in 2018 or 2022. If we do win the right it must be said that Australian sport will never be the same and football will become the foremost of the codes here in Oz. Now all we have to do is win the right to host. Just the prospect of having the World Cup Finals in Australia is so freakin' exciting. C'mon Australia!!!!!!

[vehnomen]

Are there any concrete plans for an Australian bid for the 2022 WC? Here in Germany we hear a lot of rumours. I would definitely love to see the WC down under.

btw I think 2018 is not realistic cause after South Africa 2010 and Brasil 2014 the WC will come back to Europe (probably England)

[iamthebest1222]

Id rate it if Engalnd had it in 2018

And Australia 2022.

that would be swweet.

[only1nandez]

thanx for sharing this dude, brings back memories watching it the day after i was there behind the goals during the penalty shootout

[donnaborg78]

SOCCEROOSSSSSSSSSSSSS and now we have the asian cup to winnn i CAN NOT WIAT

[vdeferens]

Yeah that went well, didn't it.
