For A Place In The World Cup

2005 World Cup Qualifier vs Uruguay

It doesn’t get more tense than this. Extra time, followed by a penalty shoot out against a team who thought they had a ‘divine right’ to be at the 2006 World Cup. Up steps the man of the hour, John Aloisi…

"That means that if John Aloisi can score this goal, Australia will be there. Here’s Aloisi for a place in the World Cup. He scores! Australia has done it!"
