This was our golden generation

Craig Foster shouting “come on Australia!” as Aloisi ran down the sideline after the deciding penalty is one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard. It sums up perfectly how much this win meant to the whole nation of Australia

I’m American and watching this, the one thing I noticed is the Mental Toughness the Aussies had, which was missing v Uruguay 4 years earlier in Montevideo after winning that 1st leg at home. To understand what that moment meant that night in 2005, you have to go back to the previous three trips to the playoffs and not closing the deal each time: 1993 in Buenos Aires v Argentina and the late, great Maradona in the 2nd leg losing 1-0 1997 v Iran, up 2-0 at home and couldn’t close the deal, ending 2-2 and the Iranians going to France. I could see that was a killer loss for that country. 2001 v Uruguay, winning that 1st leg 1-0, then going to Montevideo in that 2nd leg needing just 1 goal to advance and they get waxed 3-0. What a night it must have been back in 2005 in that nation to finally break down the door after coming so close the previous three cracks. Also, they had an extra player from above. I'm referring to Johnny Warren, the Australian Soccer legend, who passed away the year before and sadly never got to see this moment. They did for Johnny that night as well.

40:49 for Bresciano's goal 2:19:00 for the start of the penalties 2:19:45 for Schwarzer's first save 2:23:30 for Viduka's miss 2:24:09 for Schwarzer's final save 2:24:55 for Aloisi's penalty 2:25:17 for Craig Foster's orgasm

I'm from Uruguay. I remember this game. I was in the highschool at that time, i was 14 years old and it could have been the second time to watch my national team in a world cup. You deserved this qualyfication, and i remember the socceroos participation in WC Germany 2006. I'm a fan of Australia too in each WC and i hope one day could travel to that beatiful country

Every time I hear or watch this, I still get very emotional. I am a typical Aussie who supports rugby league but also has a passion for football and wants it to succeed. Don't think anything will ever compare to that night.

I'm from Costa Rica and was amazing waking up that day finding out Australia and Trinidad and Tobago both qualified for the world cup. Amazing times

Sydney's Stadium Australia = Socceroos' good luck charm.

Socceroos back then was such a classy side, Harry Kewell Mark Viduka Mark Bresciano Vince Grella Jason Culina Scot Chipperfield Mark Schwarzer and the list of quality player goes on

I am from the UK but what a fantastic match

Redmayne's save had me screaming like a madman. But nothing will ever compare to Johnny's penalty to send us through in 05. I remember hurting myself so bad during the celebrations, but I didn't care. The pain of 93, 97 and 2001 gave us enough emotion. But to do it on that night, the crowd being unlike anything we'd seen before or since, the year after Johnny Warren passed away and to win on penalties. Massive. It was perfect.

I am French but at Aloisi goal, I clearly feel the explosion of joy of Australian people after 32 years of waiting, it is very touching to see

I'm from Indonesia. I remember this game. I really enjoyed how australia played . Australia absolutely was in their best game.

Así es como cayó mi amado selección,por penales 🇵🇪 . Suerte Australia en esta edición del mundial .

The golden generation of the Australian football team, they had good players who played in the Premier League with the legend Tim Cahill, Harry Kewell winner of the UEFA champions league, the goalkeeper with the German name, Emerton, Bresciano played in Serie A, they offered qualification for the 2006 World Cup. This intercontinental play-off was beautiful with a first long trip to Montevideo and the return match to Sydney where the stadium was full... the whole stadium singing the Australian anthem, not for rugby but for football.

Sitting on a hospital bed in 2024 watching this as a pick-me-up and to fill the time. Never, ever, gets old.

This was the Best Socceroos team EVER.I'm so proud to be Australian. This was the best and the most beautiful moment of Australia's sporting history 💛💚🇦🇺

Im mexican but just a huge football fan i remember watchin this game live middle of the night what a game, theres something special about seeing a team qualify for a world cup, especially when its there first time or haven't been in the tournament for a long time.

The end of the penalty shootout is one of 2 times I have cried watching sport (the other being Cahill’s second goal against Japan in the subsequent WC)

SBS's intro at the start still gives me the chills. Greatest match ever in Australian football history.

Thanks for adding. Incredible game. Still gives me chills.

2:45 Watching this as an American, the only other time I can remember having a tear in my eye was with the late Great Whitney Houston's version of the US National Anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl of American Football here in Tampa. This to me was Australia's version of that moment. To boot, you have 82K singing with Macrae as one. Goosebumps watching it.

One of the best moments in Australian sports

A start of a new era for Australian Soccer

I was there. One of the best moments of my life.

I couldn’t speak for three days after this having seen everything that happened with the Iran qualifier in 1997 and seeing the Australian team not qualify and then again in 2001 when Morales put in their goals in that qualfier for 2002

I remember pretty well this historic world cup qualifer game, no precedents, maybe is the only game like this ever what it was decided by the penalty shootout, I was 10 years old in that time I saw the penalties before I went to the elementary school it was in the morning, it was so amazing, I hope these nationals teams have a match in the world cup someday, such a great video, greetings from Guayaquil-Ecuador australian fellows.

Am from the UK but with plenty of Aussie friends and as a Liverpool fan, great to see Harry play and for them to qualify. Great upload, first time I’ve watched how you qualified! I was at the World Cup in 2006 and was at the Aus v. Japan match in K-town, then back in London to watch Harry’s goal against Croatia... great times!

johnny warren i told you so , it was beautiful for fozz to say this , perfectly timed, sure it was against tv rule but he said it at the perfect time, and this come from a european , i was so pleased for OZ , and they went to the world cup not fearing anyone, GOLDEN GENERATION ! GOLDEN COACH ! GOLDEN MOMENTS!

This was the best socceroos team EVER!!!

Australia: *goes to the World Cup for a 5th time in a row* Peru: *finally goes to 2018 World Cup after 36 years, but looses in 2022 to the Penalty-Shoot Out* As a Peruvian, sometimes it rains hardest, on those who deserve sunshine. But still congrats to Australia for going to the World Cup, I will be watching on TV! 👍

I certainly know what suffering means. 32 years of not qualifying for a world cup and 30 years of not winning the title in England. 2005 what a year. The miracle of Istanbul and qualification for the FIFA World Cup.

I love how Australian team showed its performance, my sister is living in Australia too and yes, Aussies are so amazing Maybe they give me back to old memories of Azzurri Italia

Gotta love how Aloisi runs half way round the pitch to exchange jerseys with Chengue Morales. Classic.

I became a socceroos follower after this game. Been looking for this full match for years, thank you for uploaded it, awesome!

My dad was at this game and told me today about it, now I have to watch.

In which country is Guus Hiddink not a legend?

41:01 goal for australia

I was there on the night ..Pure magic ……Sydney Olympic Park Stadium

Me acuerdo como si fuera ayer de ese triste dia, tenia 2 examenes en el liceo acá en San Pablo y entre esos 2 examenes estubo el partido..sali de la escuela y me fuy a casa para ver el partido y despues volvi a hacer el segundo examen con ganas de pegarme un tiro en los huevos...me acuerdo que despues me enteré que australia metio bicicletas, camas y masaje en su avion, y uruguay cruzo el mundo para jugar un partido importante de esos en clase economica, por algo los jugadores ya ni podian mas correr...mucho se logró todavia que fueron a los penales...tengo mis criticas al proceso de tabarez, pero viendo ese partido, no hay como no decir que el maestro hizo bien al futbol uruguayo...fue una derrota dolorida, pero necesaria, para fijarmos lo mal que andaba la seleccion...pero que podrias esperar de una AUF comandada por eugenio figueredo?

Johnny Warren 😢 I cried when Craig yelled out Johnny’s name

Still one of the most nerve wracking football matches ever what a game and what a win for australia and for football

THANKS for Uploading this entire match!! ⚽🇦🇺

The way our players were treated in Montevideo it was the ultimate payback ... Rocoba "we have a devine right" Boy that really blew up in ur face that night saying that 😅😅😅😅

Who came here to watch this after beating Peru in 2022?

Fue un partido raro Uruguay cuidando la ventaja sacada en montevideo y Australia., si salió a buscar el partido. Y en los penaltis sacó diferencia con un marc schwarzer que estuvo fenomenal.

this still gives me goosebumps

Australia en el mundial de Alemania 2006, perdió contra Italia 1- 0. En el mundial de Rusia 2018, perdió contra Francia 2 - 1, además ya eliminó a Uruguay ( 2006 ) y Perú ( 2022 ). Muchas gracias Seiya PB por la corrección.

Emocionante y merecido Luego les robaron en el mundial vs italia donde dieron baile

Por la ceremonia de los himnos, por la atmósfera del partido y la intensidad este partido no parecía de repechaje sino de mundial

Got robbed against Italy

자국에서 열리는 대륙 플옵 2차전에서 승부차기 끝에 월드컵 진출권을 따내는 스토리.진심으로 스포츠팬의 마음을 울린다

In the WC of Germany in 2006 , Australia didn't deserve to lose against Italy . At least not in full time. It should've been decided at the PK's

I didn't know until I watched this video for the first time (which was a few years ago, JFTR) that Spanish Opera Singers even existed. LOLZ!

@SocceroosHD Thanks for uploading. I was at this game. Treasure memory. Do you have any of our games from the 2006 World Cup at all?

Look at how young they all are.....

Biggest moment in Australian sporting history followed by the save from Redmayne

After watching this video, watching the current soccer roos game is painful.

2:24:31 2:25:15 my skin shivered and I'm not Australian Promise that you will overcome the obstacles more than once and in the same way as you have been doing, I hope to see you qualify for the World Cup, I will be watching you from the other side of the globe.🌎 greetings from Argentina🇦🇷

2:25:17 Craig Foster screaming Yeah!

the noise during those national anthems is like nothing i've ever heard before

The start of a soccer team

Lucas Neill and Mark Schwarzer belting out the national anthem

Não entendi esse tempo extra que foi dado após o término da 2ª etapa do tempo normal. Estava no regulamento?

Aussie Guus Hiddink is a legend

asi le sucedio a Perú 2022

Atleast I am getting the impression that in Australia they celebrate football more than in United States.

Thank you. Have you got the Germany friendly from March last year?

@1:37 Hahahahaha Pablo Garcia... And I have to say as a New Zealander: Australians are quick to moan and boohoo if anyone boos their anthem, but they seem to happily do it themselves at a drop of a hat...

Esta eliminación fue una enorme frustración pero resultó ser un mal necesario para nuestra selección porque después vino el proceso Tabarez y salimos adelante, y ahora estamos disfrutando de logros deportivos!

its the greatest win in our history! we can beat Argentina! everything is possible Cmon Australia! this is your time! with heart and passion we will win the World Cup when we push our selves!

Australia qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup via penalties against Peru brought me here.

i dont know who you are but if i was able to vote for you as PM for Australia i would!!!!!!!! i was also hoping if you were able to have and put up the 4 games with every minute broadcasted on sbs of the 2006 fifa world cup socceroos games????? :)

FIFA world cup 2006

tears in my fucking eyes this entire world cup campaign was incredible right up until that Italian penalty... Aloisi and Schwarzer absolutely incredible ❤️🔥

QUIEN VINO AQUI DESPUÉS DE LA CATÁSTROFE 🙄😐😭😭😭🇵🇪🇵🇪

con la nueva eliminacion de peru se confirma que australia jugando repechajes nunca perdio de local ni las 2 veces que se enfrento a uruguay ni cuando se enfrento a la mismisima argentina de maradona, si bien el repechaje ante peru era en quatar aun asi se podria considerar que eran locales porque a habian jugado con anterioridad en aquel pais por ende era mas que seguro que contaba con cierta ventaja, en conclusion si australia define su pase de local pues tiene muchas chances de clasificar sea la seleccion que sea

The Greatest Game of Football Ever Played in Australia bar none.

What is the song playing after the game

Australia's greatest sporting moment...yup up there in the top 3....what momentum the boys carried over to Germany...irrespective of what people think about the game vs Italy...we should of won that...then quater final vs Ukraine..who knows...who knows how far the socceroos would have gone in the tournament...just imagine Aloisi taking a penalty shoot out kick against France in the final

Os Simpsons. Previram Esse Jogo. No Episódio Bart VS Austrália

I´m happy from brazil, congrats this australian team.

I love Australia ❤❤❤🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Has an Australian crowd ever booed louder than this? I think not! Payback for the treatment of our boys in Uruguay!!!!

I was in australia when this match played 😍😍😍

Australia got rid of the Dinosaurs again 🦖🦕.

love ya mate

Johnnie Warren I told you so

VIVA AUSTRALIA😀

who was the player who said get in their right at the end?

Good...

8:29 i can imagine uruguayans watching the coverage in disgust thinking that there was only 1 ball in all of australia and it was flat

素晴らしいオープニング

Please we need australia 4-2 Saudi Arabia full match 🙏🙏🙏

Johnny Warren is still smiling to this day.

Si Perú ubiera jugado con Australia el repechaje allí ubiera sido muy difícil para ganarle

man what an emotional moment. Schwarzer take a bow, absolute monster effort

what song was that at the end

Si andas sacando tus 15 copas América y tus dos añejas copas del mundo y unas prehistóricas medallas olímpicas y jactarse de la " heroica" garra sharrúa....NO PODI PERDER CON AUSTRALIA PO WEON!!

The Socceroos
