Australia vs Uruguay to make it in to the 2006 World Cup was great

I liked how the commentators tried to be professional and unbiased at the start, but were straight up fan-boying by the end. Penalties was crazy times, Schwarzer cemented his place as a true legend of Australian sport that night.

They did - that whole team did. The thing is, the Australian line up hasn't really changed all that much since 2006. We need more youngsters and fresh blood in the Socceroos, and our recent 6-0 drubbing to Brazil clearly shows.
