I don't think anyone expected us to even get close to the second round, let alone do better than 2006 squad, which on paper at least was by far the best team Australia has ever produced.

Full credit to Graham Arnold and the team.

I missed the game this morning, but did catch the one vs Tunisia.

I know it’s grown considerably in Australia but has soccer become more popular in New Zealand? , obviously it’s behind rugby and cricket as well as Netball but do kids play it in schools?
