Australian football stands on the brink of history.
Australia has arrived in Sydney for the second leg of the World Cup qualifying play-off with Uruguay full of confidence after their brave and commanding display in Montevideo, despite losing the match 1-0. Not even Brasil or Argentina has won a World Cup qualifier against Uruguay away from home, so it wasn’t realistic for us to expect to come away with a victory. However a very committed and tactically astute performance in such a hostile atmosphere sees our lads brimming with confidence for the return match that requires us to win by two clear goals.
Guus Hiddink has Australia playing the finest football our national team has ever produced. It’s a far cry from the tactically inept debacles of our previous campaigns under the inexperienced Frank Farina and incompetent Terry Venebles. With our players clearly thriving under the technical and tactical organisation skills of Hiddink and a home crowd of 85,000 supporters willing our team on in Sydney, this Wednesday night could turn out to one of the greatest nights in Australian sporting history.
Australian football finally has its house in order. We have a governing body committed solely to the cause of Australian football and a national football league that all Australian football supporters feel they can support. Australian football has never been better prepared to be a part of the world’s largest sporting event and to capitalise locally on the benefits of qualification.
We’ve learnt our lessons, we’ve paid our dues, this is our time; its time to end 32 years of hurt, Australia.
C’mon Aussie.

Yeah, there'll be plenty of people late the next day, for sure. It's not the number one sport here, but everyone feels our pain when we go out, so I think they'll revel in our success this time. It’s such a huge relief for Australian football supporters, we really needed this.
