Montevideo was such a dissapointment: but can't Australia make it to the world cup? afterall, Australia is world champs in half a dozen of sports: rugby union and league, netball, hockey, cricket. Why not soccer?

can't win, don't try... just kidding. :D

well they cant be champs at all sports you know ...

Why not? I don't see any reason why not... :D

Alright they are champs in many sports...but football is really different...the teams involved are quite many when compared to other sports...they need to have more players who play outside aus.

We'd whip every countrys butt in football (AFL :D)...

They need to expand AFL to every country... Then it would be another trophy in Australia's case :)

1st you'll have to qualify mate..and that would be another 4 yrs..

They will have to win the important qualifying games. As they have not managed in their recent opportunities.

three words -
nsl is ****e.

i mean, apart from maybe perth glory, no other nsl team can string together three or four passes before giving the ball away. :)

No other country is as versatile as Australia in the number of sports they take part in and conquer,,,,

Swimming (Ian Thorpe)

Tennis (Pat Rafter , Mark Philloppusis.....back till Rod Laver's days)

Cricket (Steve Waugh and company.....yes i have knowledge about cricket)

Rugby....(the only major sport i'm ignorant of)

.....and many other sports .......


Soccer is soon on the cards.....may take a while....

cheers.....
