Socceroos GO GO GO!

[Black Orchid]

The Socceroos love playing for Australia. Why doesn’t Australia love them back?

There’s never been a better time to get behind the Socceroos.

In June, they’ll play at their sixth consecutive World Cup, and a deep run into the knockout phase is eminently possible. Coach Tony Popovic has assembled a squad with more upside than perhaps any team Australia has sent to the game’s biggest stage: in Nestory Irankunda, Alessandro Circati, Mohamed Toure and Jordan Bos, there is the nucleus of a group that, over the next decade or so, could do some seriously special things.

So why does it feel like people aren’t that interested?

They will be, of course, when the World Cup is on. It’ll be the biggest thing since sliced bread – just like Qatar 2022, when the Socceroos produced their best-ever finish and huge crowds flocked to public squares to watch them at stupid o’clock.

But when the World Cup ended, people moved on. Nothing stuck.

That’s the nature of the public’s transactional relationship with this team: uber-passionate once every four years, and too casual in between.

C'mon people get behind the Socceroos!

The Socceroos beat Curacao 5-1 in the last World Cup friendlies game in Aus before the action starts in June.

Prior to this they beat Cameroon 1-0.

Now they're off to the USA where I hope their winning streak continues.

GO YOU GOOD THINGS!

Because they couldn't even score one lousy goal in their final with Japan.

WOW Bobby what a disgusting arm chair attitude.

I'm sure if you were on the team you would have had no trouble scoring goals right?

Imagine if you were in the crowd and it was your team and
in the 95 odd minutes they couldn't score even one goal?

Don't criticise from your arm chair. It's not a good look. It's obvious that you have never played real sport.

Hello - I played soccer for 3 years,
2 at school and one year after school.

Then you should well know that all it takes is a bad call, a bad ref, a strong defence with no breaks or any number of things that can deprive you of a goal.

Sure can - soccer is a hell of a game - such low scores quite often.

The goal should be 50% wider.

Sounds like the team from town where I grew, that's why I dislike soccer. But we were good in ice hockey.
