wtf!! come on now, they played two games against the fifth ranked team in south america, only to win it in pk's how's that an accomplishment?
At any rate, congrats aussies
you obviously dont know about football in australia, and why would you, we are on the other side of the world and you are stuck in your world.'
Football or soccer as they used to stupidly call it here has never really taken off because of big business, racist median etc etc etc .
By the ozzies making it to the cup it lifts the profile of the sport and hopefully gives it a big push in the right direction.
There is a very large multinational community in this country and if managed properly, football can take it place as the number one sport, whrere it should be!!
So before you make those statements please educate yourself.
As as far as the game goes, uruguay didnt even show up!!! australia deserved to win.
