will soccer become our national sport, page-4

I read an article in the Australian prior to the Uruguay match and Australia qualifying, this current team has a lot of very capable players who won't be there for the next World Cup. Recent results ensure more potential for good players in 8 years time as more juniors play but we are no monty to qualify for 2010, regardless of the Asian route. Soccer is not out of the woods yet as the team will likely not be near as strong in 4 years time. But it looks like the sport is finally on its way here.
