Super Socceroos

16 November 2005. It was the night a nation came to a standstill...
the night football in Australia came of age. The night a proud sporting nation\'s 32-year World Cup drought
came to an end. The star-studded Qantas Socceroos boasting international stars
Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka, Marco Bresciano, Tim Cahill and
Mark Schwarzer took on two-time World Cup winners and their
2001 nemesis Uruguay. More than 80,000 fans at the Telstra Stadium in Sydney made this
the hottest ticket in 2005. More than three million viewers made
SBS the only channel to watch history in the making. Fresh from a close-fought loss in Montevideo, the Socceroos would
draw level before embarking on the most gut-wrenching penalty
shootout Australian fans had witnessed. This was a match for the ages and an event of national significance
unrivalled in this country... and now this collector\'s item will
be a permanent record of one of Australia\'s truly great sporting
moments.
