31 Years. 4 Months. 24 Days.

2005 World Cup Qualifier vs Uruguay

2005 World Cup Qualifier vs Uruguay After 31 long years, the Socceroos played Uruguay for a chance to reach the 2016 World Cup in Germany.

“At last. At long last… 31 years, four months and 24 days have passed since Australia ended it’s campaign in the ‘74 World Cup. And now, finally, belatedly, wonderfully and joyfully Australia is back on the biggest stage.”
