Shocka: Would you, or any of your "aerial ping-pong" friends, please explain to me why it is necessary for a game to have a score like a telephone number before it can have any value for you? Is it really so impossible for you to appreciate the nuances of personal skills with a circular ball which, by the way, is the ONLY true football. Aussie Rules, a misnomer if ever I heard one since it has no discernible rules, cannot truly be called football since it spends more time in someone's hands than at the end of a foot. The usual catchcry in denigration of the "game played in Heaven", viz. "rolling about in agony", applies because Football players have retained the sensitivity to be able to feel when kicked, unlike your lumbering troglodytes.

Kind regards,

TheNightOwl.

Question

Have the Soccaroos ever made through to the World Cup? If so, when?

Just asking because I don't know.

Cheers.

Thanks for that, Messiah. Heard something on the BBC that they'd been unsuccessful for the last 27 years.

Huntsman: The All Whites qualified in 1982, so I guess that makes them more 'recent' than the Socceroos, and on the basis of qualification makes the Kiwi v Aussie score a draw at 1-1.

Having said that, best not get into the All White's current form - similar to the Wallabies at the moment perhaps .
