Australia vs Uruguay 16 Nov 2005 - SHOOTOUTS

[@EvertonLions]

I never get bored of watching this over and over again.

[@joesakic91]

Graham Arnold was an assistant under Guus Hiddink for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and today, he was the boss who saw Australia qualified for their fifth straight tournament with a penalty shootout victory over Peru.

[@jaysan2540]

Will never forget this game. One of those moments that you know exactly where you were when it happened.

[@lukestapley]

because after 32 years of heartbreak, he can't believe Australia are one kick away from the World Cup. He knew. Im 21, I was 16 at the time, i never believed i'd see Australia at a World Cup, here I am about to see them at their second

[@ngkos17]

Makes my eyes watery every time I remember this moment.. a classic moment and one that would always be remembered for those who saw this match in the stadium as the crowd erupted

[@kage7785]

meh, I reckon Foster just showed as a former socceroo how much it meant to him, he was on the verge of tears after it. Man such a great climax to the series, I was screaming my head off when this happened, thanks for posting I could watch it 10x over! =D wooo lets go South Africa 2010!

[@ricky887]

I was there and made a video ive been trying to post on youtube, i have never been happier when a goal has been scored, i always get goosebumps watching that and i guess i always will. I was in tears after we qualified.

[@RainingStigmata]

I watched this game on my year 12 formal night. What a way to remember it.

[@mr0speaker]

I was at this game and it's the first time I'd cried with happiness. The second time was when Cahill scored his second against Japan. Great memories.

[@ZaneTaylorMusic]

I love this. So much.

[@KrazzieWilson]

No matter how many times I watch this match I still get excited at every goal Socceroos score and save, and still get a tear in my eye when Aloisi pumps the last one home! Stuff History indeed!

[@Majicmilla]

I sat and watched this as a AFL follower only, I ended up jumping on the couch and crying still sends shivers down my spine

[@neris27]

That still makes me get goosebumps watching that. YOU BLOODY BEAUTY!!

[@onewildcarl82]

As i'm someone from England I was delighted Australia made it to the world cup and they gave such a good account of themselves.

[@fraddstar]

I feel the nerves every time I see it ! Unbeleivable, cant put into words !

[@danclay530]

i'm not from australia, i'm english, but that is amazing, it put a smile on my face! Give it 10 years and you'll be a world force!

[@adambarbaro1]

i remember watching this, i was so happy

[@st.infocus]

Wow. i was 8 at that time, 14 now, i never understood how important this was to our nation. Looking back i understand it now, im proud to be Australian and proud to see us in our second World Cup in over 32 years.. GO THE SOCCEROOS!!

[@Dman2406]

Absolute fricken shivers every time I see this. And the Japan game

[@spizdogg]

cant watch this without getting goosebumps

[@levansRS]

Brings a tear to the eye, Go aussies!! Johnny Warren would have been proud!!

[@dim125]

My friend, you can't compare Uruguay and Australia in terms of football culture. We have a lot more people than Uruguay but about 75% of them follow other sports such as Rugby, Cricket an AFL (a kind of rugby but with different rules) and believe me, it bores me to death. Football is going in the right direction now and all thanks to the last penalty you saw in the video and some good performances in the Germany WC, it changed everything. We are also playing in Asia now, no more easy games

[@GCPollitt]

lovin the celebration run at the end :D

[@trenchy1990]

i never seen football become so popular in australia until this defining moment

[@oinotna527]

i am with tears in my eyes right now ,and im brazilian congrats australia

[@Forthevline]

Best moment in Socceroos History. It's too bad we lost today- the 2006 team were MUCH better.

[@0odp]

I reakon Vidukas miss added to the tension, was great moment for Australia.

[@superboberdo]

I was there!! it was like the best thing that ever happened to me, i was ecstatic and i partied for like the rest of the week. everyone was pissed off when viduka missed his penalty but luckily schwarzer was on form and saved the next penalty. then when aloisi scored the whole stadium went up. i hugged like 15 people aroud me and it was like awesome.

[@TomBennett68]

Brilliant mark schwazer!

[@KrasHHH001]

In the Top 3 moments of Australian sport.

[@TheInternet22]

it wasn't the best way for us to win, but we won and got to the world cup for the first time in 32 years, we were happy to make it any way nescessary.

[@eaglespwn]

shivers down my spine :D

[@lukestapley]

it will be giving me goosebumps for years!!! sorry about the message in the middle of the video, i was using a video editer that was only a free trial so it had to put the message in. doesnt matter though, doesnt really affect the feeling you get watching it.

[@nathanjrutherford]

@stipefan11 it was craig foster and he was saying it purely on the basis that he couldnt believe that we were one goal away from world cup, he was a pro footballer

[@Forthevline]

@djsfilms1, if it's the same team, where is Viduka and Aloisi? THAT'S what I am talking about.

[@trenchy1990]

and the coach Guus Hiddink, man what a legend. gets us somewhere, he gets russia into the semi's in Euro. turning teams from deadbeats in a sport to the dominant forces. thats an awesome achievement

[@mudchair16]

That was some seriously sweet revenge for the 2001 play-off.

[@UnoriginalCinema]

Fantastic. Glad to see Australia at 2010 as well, lets hope NZ join them too.

[@lukestapley]

Fair call, but in my opinion I reckon Foster made it better, coz he showed just how much emotion Australia was feeling about this moment

[@aussiefox01]

Australias Best Sporting Moment EVER.

[@heysoph.9]

we all remember the aloisi moment, but those schwarzer saves was what did it :) champ

[@Beamer22]

The 2nd save from Schwarzer is one of the better penalty saves you'll see

[@lukestapley]

Well said

[@Naveen500]

@UnoriginalCinema they did, but got eliminated in the first round, but so did australia, at least in 2006 they made it to the top 16

[@88fredmcfred]

I love the big "fuck off" from Schwarzer to Rodriguez. Absolute Classic!

[@Knopsy6107]

was a very special night

[@andresland182]

Finally there was justice...Australia made it to the world cup, Uruguay received what they deserved, and Oceania had a team in the World cup ( for the third time in history 1974, 1982) and Australia was amazing in Germany...I will always remember this game Aus-Uru it was 4 o'clock in the morning in my country and I didn't mind to wake up early to see it. Good 4 U aussies!!!

[@Stgfre]

You do not know what you are texting.

[@jonobyrne]

sorry guys the point i was trying to express is that australia has a small soccer following, regardless of what everone else follows, be it AFL rugby cricket or league.

[@wavavoom]

geeze leave the guy alone he has done more for australian soccer then anyone else. he captained australia and been the backbone of the team which took us to the world cup. he is a legend and got australia to where it is now and you ridicule him for missing a penalty. If you ask me he has done way way way more good for soccer in australia then bad (in which he missed a goal)

[@dmontes84]

Was at the game and I was very happy for australia but sad for Uruguay. I'm half Uruguay but was so happy to see them get through... I'm happy now though cause Uruguay has come back stronger and for a nation of three million and third world I couldn't be prouder. Sad now though for Australia they need to pick up their game by starting to fix coaching from the lower levels here in oz. Soccers a joke here now I want to see Australia be a REAL contender in the next world cup and should start learn

[@pepperc0rn]

magic.

[@MrTimmyCahill]

was forlan playing in this game?

[@MelbKnights]

@XerxesVaia I'm aware they had to play the 5th best team in Sth America. But I think it's silly to play tonga, samoa, nz then play a very hard 5th placed team from South America. At least now they have relatively hard matches in Asia.

[@danclay530]

did this make footy(soccer) more popular in Oz?? How popular is it now, what are the most popular sports?? Oz rules, cricket, union, league ??

[@Forthevline]

@djsfilms1, Uhhh... no. They retired from international football.

[@Santi2c]

@lukestapley playing the hosts, the previous' WC finalists, a hungry mexican squad, the best ghanean team, a well posed korean team... Uruguay's path was not easy.

[@storzahany]

Mark Schwarzer - The man who got Australia to the World Cup.

[@zyoidburg]

Goes down as the biggest event and sorry to say it bigger then the olympics in sydney

[@dmontes84]

(finishing off last comment) Start to learn from other countries, I heard recently that we can not sell our players until they reach the age of 18. Is this true? If so this really needs to change....

[@dfest6969]

man i luv australia

[@TwiztedDezign]

Feel proud Australians. Your team made the Top 16 and lost only because of the ref. I was pissed and I aint even Australian! Great performance at the 2006 WC. See you in 2010? :)

[@Naveen500]

it's funny how Australia BEAT Uruguay to QUALIFY for the 2006 world cup, last world cup Uruguay didn't even make it. And now look at them now in 2010. They are in the quarter finals!

[@LehmannDaHero]

that was one hell of a save by schwarzer. the second one i mean

[@hesterjester12]

haha, Craig Foster on Tony Vidmar, "Good on ya, son!"

[@Champane97]

amen!!

[@johncena1fan100]

was that in austrailia?

[@ulisesalonso7202]

vaya que si les dolió esa eliminación y fue la revancha de ese repechaje de 2001, sigan viviendo de sus copas de la prehistoria

[@Stgfre]

Uruguay sigue ganando copas. No sabes lo que estas diciendo.

[@po_tat]

i was there and i still get goosbumps gr8 moment

[@Hamsterman691]

Haha great emotion! I'm hoping we can do the same against bahrain on november 14

[@jepa0708]

soy colombiano y las 2 ultimas eliminatorias nos hemos quedado x fuera del mundial x un gol y la ultima x un punto espero que esta vez ballamos, pero lo que me preocupa es que siempre tenemos ir a asuncion a definir el boleto para la repesca y que uruguay y argentina juegen al bobito en la mitad de la cancha del centenariox que entre ellos nos damos cuenta que se hacen favores

[@wearetheloserz]

u tell em damosanchex. But u gotta feel for Mark Viduka

[@Biggestisland]

can you hear the THUNDER?

[@Paperbagman555]

What a memorable moment to knock out a team who has won 2 world cups =0

[@yuanator]

Looking at the positions of the australian penalty takers, Carini never dived to the obvious side. Even against defenders Neil and Vidmar.

[@esaint66]

RIP Johnny Warren

[@Meatballer]

guss hiddink we miss you alot....:(

[@danwood891]

el shwarzer es asombroso

[@killbot86]

yeah I agree coz if viduka scored and schwarzer saved that 4th goal then we would have qualified and the moment just wouldn't be the same.....

[@lukestapley]

yeh. i think he's just in shock though of the thought of Australia ACTUALLY going to a world cup after 1 simple kick, he doesn't believe it so he's just double checking. probably like everyone else, didn't think they'd ever see Australia qualify

[@Giumelz]

Uruguay are a very good team. I think Australia played very well in the away leg and deserved a draw which would have meant Brecsiano's goal would have sent them through

[@djsfilms1]

@Forthevline it is the SAME team as 2006, thats why were not as good. there all old fellas

[@0odp]

cant believe mark viduka missed.... but still .......WE WON

[@geniousgerrard]

Schazzer is a superstar

[@hockly1]

thats what u call a keeper

[@CharmanderTheAndy]

Imagine going in the match with a shirt "U R Guay" Craig Foster biased commentary haha.

[@PersianAustralian]

I was there! It was kickarse!

[@edge1rated2superstar]

you gotta love australia =)

[@bloodnut12]

if u listen closely craig foster says 'we're going to greece'

[@steakyum2]

Uruguay is too good now.

[@ripitup32]

Craig Foster haha, so happy.....'johhny warran!'

[@haydesj]

@MrDimitri2826 and Italy*

[@TomasEsquelles]

no puede ser que perdamos contra un equipo que no tiene cuadro, claro si esta carini nos golean

[@Mollarooza]

@LetMeShowU414ever we dont suck at it we ranked very high, just that we are good at even minor sports like soccer

[@LetMeShowU414ever]

Uruguay kicks ass...we're the best! :D

[@rogeedodge]

don't worry Uruguay, it was your DEVINE RIGHT to sit the 2006 World Cup out. lawl

[@midgetwars1]

u gotta love the boos

[@Fludeyy]

its neil! its 2 neil!!

[@xiyuemaa]

@MrDimitri2826 uraguay did have an easy path to the semis though compared to the other teams (wat if england didnt f up and come 2nd to usa) ... but nethertheless did wlel to get there

[@lukestapley]

@johncena1fan100 yeh, 2005 in Sydney, stopped the nation

[@lion5]
