I blame Terry Venables for the loss at the MCG. Fucken shit cunt got paid 800,000 for a few months and didn't get a team like that iinto the World cup!
Thats gotta be the best Socceroos tribute on YouTube. Fair Dinkum, that just captures perfectly the build up to Germany qualification and why it means so much. People wondered why there were so many Aussies at Germany 2006, this explains it. It was cathartic! Well done.
me and some mates broke our couch by jumping up and down on it throughout that penalty shootout. my mates didnt even like soccer but that was one the greatest moments in australian sport..... lets see how far we get this time..
November 16, 2005. I was in one of the downstairs flats of this complex I lived in on the Gold Coast, a whole lot of us who lived in the complex sat around watching the game, and I began to wonder if this was as far as Australia would ever get- always one game short?
Then it went to penalties and I thought "Shit, this is where we stuff up." When Aloi$i scored, I almost couldn't believe what I was seeing. There was much jumping around, yelling and hugging that went on in that room!
holy craop that gives me chills. i still remember watching the game against uruguay at my university bar, and the whole place going absolutely batshit insane when aloisi made the goal.
Nice video, I couldn't help but noticed that you forgot the defeat to New Zealand in 1981 in the qualifying rounds missing the playoffs. Not quite part of the curse then? Or just a bit hard hitting to take. Anyway respect and see you guys in 2010 when both Aus and NZ are in SA. Fingers crossed.
Probably one of the best videos on youtube. When I was thinking of the battle against Iran, one of the most dramatic matches i've ever seen. Also the commentary is great "is he strong enough now? he's not"...each australian should remember the day they qualified against uruguay. tears of joy...
Brought tears to my eyes. I was at the Iran game in Melbourne at the MCG. I was only 6, but I can still remember it well! And that night back in 2005, I was at Federation Square in Melbourne. It'll be a night Ill take to my grave!
Wow, only sport gives such a thrill. Indeed, I remember they were so close against Iran in 1997...incredible.
You can be proud because many countries do not manage to qualify every 30 years. And I find that the way to qualification is really tough for oceania teams.
Australia did not deserve to lose against Italy, and I don' sy that because I'm french (or just a little).
Well done Soceroos. I'm not Australian but from England and was glad you finally made it to the World Cup, and you put in a great performance but you got somewhat cheated against Italy. Never mind I'm sure you'll make it to South Africa in 2010. Stay positive.
AWESOME video. I felt all the heartache I'd been used to feeling pre-2005, and then the euphoria I felt on November 16th. I'll never forget that night, I am one of the luckiest people alive to have been there - FANTASTIC VIDEO!!
Sorry. I don't remember what happened last time we played each other. What was the scoreline? Who won? Us! Are you serious? 3-1. Oh my God! Didn't England invent football? And they were beaten by a bunch of convicts. How embarrassing for you. England, like Uruguay, are stuck in the past, thinking they're still football greats when they both haven't done anything good for 40-50 years each.
I think that's unfair. Maybe england aren't as good as they used to be, but they're still better than a lot of teams will ever be. But they seriously need a better mid-field and attack -.- they're games are so boring
This video is great! It captutes it almost perfectly. Seeing any footage of THAT game in November last year brings me goosebumps but this sums up the previous years of heart ache as well. RIP Johny Warren.
The Aussies played clean games, we played well, and we now have no doubts that we can and will succeed in future World Cups. This cup has done more for Australia than for any other country...Italy included. ^_^
To patriotically echo an earlier post: Advance Australia Fair!
Excellent, I like it how it foccused on schwartzer's save as much as aloisi's penatly, cos saving a penalty is harder than scoring one.
We will get our revenge on Italy someday, till then we will play them in other sports, like rugby soon. That game will be hillarious, Australia will be the team doing the diving (diving to score tries) though.
Absolutely hits the spot and captures the feeling that many Australians felt during many and for some all of those 30 years. We all know that Australia was inspirational and are now respected as a football/soccer nation which is just sensational!:)
This video is down right amazing. Watching Australia make it into the World Cup was a true inspiration. Through the rest of the tourney I wore my jersey to school in america and laughed at the other countries. Though my heart was shattered that horrible morning with the game vs italy. Australia was the inspiration of the world cup.God bless the socceroos and god bless australia.
Quality vid. What was the second song used there? It may be the music the Chicago Bulls used for their player intros when Michael Jordan was playing, but my memory ain't the best. PS: I've always wondered why people post negative comments on Youtube. It's like they haven't figured out that it's easier to press the back button on their browser and find something they like.
awesome vid mate -- ppl dont understand what it means for australian soccer fans following the Socceroos for so long only to see disappointment time and time again. Last October I had tears in my eyes when we qualified and this vid still gives all my mates goosebumps just watching it
i luvd this vid. brilliant job! i refuse 2 ever admit that australia lost 2 italy. we may have lost the oscar, but not at soccer. stupid ref. i hope he's de-refereed or wateva. he was the same ref at the uraguay game.. stupid guy has a bug up his arse about us aussies. damn him! we'll win the cup next time!! and no more drama from italy, eh!?!
diehard socceroos fan
we left germany with dignity. we didnt lose that match. we gained respect. we got fans. italy is so over in 2010.
I was there to watch us defeat greece, and we have now drawn with the 3rd best country in the world. It's an embarassment Uruaguay lost? It's embarassing we didn't beat the cheating fools by more! Go Australia.
Well Bl***y done mate. I agree with MHJansen that Peter Wilson the captian and is basically a recluse now. But then again very well put together there's a salty translacent liquid running from eyes.
what are you talking about? did you watch any soceroos games at all? and the game against italy we were fucking dominating that field! Anyone who thinks that game ended fairly is a fucken idiot that game shouldve ended with a shootout not that bullshit penalty kick
