A Trip Down Memory Lane...
Indulge me for a moment...I'm in mourning remember...
Happier days when Australia beat Uruguay to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup with John Aloisi in the foreground:
Guus Hiddink - AKA Miracle Worker - embracing the boys after the win:
Lucas Neill leading the victorious charge into the Round of 16:
A poignant (for me) shot of the devastating Australia Vs Italy game:
"We came here as a lowly ranked team, lucky to make it in the eyes of the world, but the world has taken notice, big time, of what Australia has done." (John O'Neill, FFA Chief Executive)
"There are far more positives than negatives...I think we've got a lot of new followers because of the way we played. I think everyone now knows we can match it with the big boys." (Mark Viduka, Socceroos Captain)
