Facts
- Australia have appeared in the FIFA World Cup™ qualifiers a
total of ten times since 1966, making it to the finals only once, in
1974. Following defeats by the former DDR and subsequent world
champions Germany, they held Chile to a creditable 0-0 draw in their
last group game but were still eliminated.
- More recently, their hopes of qualifying for the 2002 FIFA
World Cup were once again dashed at the final hurdle. The team from
Oz lost out in the play-offs between Oceania's top side and South
America's fifth-placed team.
- Following a 1-0 home win, they were beaten 3-0
