As a 4-year old in 1974, my parents could not afford to send me to pre-school. So I watched lots of Sesame Street and Play School with my stay at home mother. Back in 1974 only 5-10% of 4-year olds went to pre-school! Still to this day, pre-school and all its issues (cost, rebates, age of entry, what is taught at pre-school and universal access, if any is wanted!) is still heavily debated here in Australia. But one pretty side bonus of this is that I watched the Socceroos play all three games at the 1974 FIFA World Cup in West Germany on full replay! But the Socceroos went on a 32-year drought and I said "If they made another FIFA World Cup in my lifetime I will buy Sesame Street CD's". On 17/11/2005, a day after this match I brought two Sesame Street CD's.

The golden generation

Lost too Italy with a rubbish penalty

🥲😂😭

What's the song in background

This was the Golden Generation of Australian Football......every players were legendary in own ways !!!

Ever since that night on November 16, 2005 and up until Japan broke that hoodoo during 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying, Sydney's Stadium Australia was a good luck charm for the Socceroos. Australia clinched three of their five straight FIFA World Cups including 2005 against Uruguay and outlasting South Korea in the 2015 AFC Asian Cup Final.

❤

hiddinks reaction after that 2nd save from schwarzer was priceless

Uruguay did a very good game, had many possibilities to score a goal, but this day we had no luck 😅

I still thank my brother in-law for taking me to the game all those years ago. Magical night, great football and the piss-up to end all piss-ups. Magnificent video.

The golden generation what a team! They went on to beat England 3-1 in a friendly in London after this. The best team we've ever had!

OH MY LORDY LORD, i was there, and i will never forget it. The 3 hour multilple bus ride home was so worth it, was buzzing for weeks

I went to the 2006 World Cup in Germany because I was so captivated by the golden generation… Covid another challenges made me drift away from sport the last couple of years and in particular the Socceroos and right now I am filled with the most delicious regret… What an outstanding story what an outstanding group of young men

A proper shoot out with proper men

잘 봤습니다. 고맙습니다.

Super Australia, you're big well dones 💪🇦🇺 Greatings from Russia 🇷🇺

What a sad, sad, memory...

As a Uruguayan I remember this match quite well. I was so frustrated watching it. That was probably one of the worst moments in our football history, but that match also changed everything. Finally, our football association brought in a good manager whom not only worked with the major team but also with the U17 and U20 teams. He, Mr Washington Tabarez convince them to invested in infrastructure creating a modern training complex and our football returned to the place from which it should never have left. So actually i not only congratulate the Aussies on that victory, now with perspective I learn to appreciate it. You did us both a favor. I wish you the best in Qatar !!

This Aussie team was loaded with talents, guts and experience. Mark Viduka, Mark Schwarzer, John Aloisi, Neill, Harry Kewell, Bresciano, Brett Emerton, Popovic, Vidmar and Tim " the boxer" Cahill

Aus - nation of winners

me just randomly watching this in 3 july 2022 like why not

Unfortunately it's going the opposite direction last few years.

One of the greatest sporting nights in Australian history.

congratulations to Australia for your achievement against Peru to go to world cup 2022; As a Vietnamese, I am proud that 3/5 teams above us in third round qualification goes to world cup, this time an Asia team defeated a Commebol team

It's definitely a great story here, but I always wondered which team would of replaced australia in brazils group in this world cup if Uruguay made it instead since Uruguay is in the same confederation as brazil and can't be in the same group as them.

One day india will also play im fifa wc a big football giant is growing like cricket how india dominate over all big teams same they will do with football hope !!

proud of you boys, from England

Congratulations Australia!!!!🇦🇺 As a Kiwi supporter who saw our team get shafted, go and ROAR!!! Our corner of the World is not the pushovers we once were!!! Create havoc!!! See you in September for a "Friendly", ...bring your game face! SALUTE TO THE OCKERS!

As uruguayan still hurts, but that was a turning point for Uruguay in order to improve and be a competitive team as we are nowadays.

La Australia que eliminó a Uruguay ...equipazo

Moist eyes every time! <3

2022 Australian soccer results in World cup qualify : 3:0, 1:1 China, 1:0,4:0 Vietnam, 3:1,2:2 Oman, 1:2,0:2 Japan, 0:0 , 0:1 Saudi Arabia . Then they have to versus UAE and Peru in play off. Let's pray for them even we know it's very tough to them. cause this socceroo team strength is far away from 2005s'. Do you believe they can make it? like my comment if you do.

Still mesmerized by the scale of this event.

Nick, so good to see this all put together! Nice work!

As a Panamanian fan I can relate on what you guys felt that night after so many failures...It happened the same to us, failing to qualify being that close and to finally qualify to a World Cup in Russia 2018, what a moment dor us.

I'm Australian and this documentary is absolutely great. I'm so proud to be Australian. This was the best and the most beautiful moment of Australian sports history 💛💚🇦🇺

Excelente equipo de Australia en 2006, no fue un mal Uruguay , fue un grandioso Australia, Cahill se iniciaba y cn poca experiencia saco adelante por muchos años ala Australia, felicito a ese país futbolero por el buen juego, nos vemos en junio Doha y que gane el mejor..... Lima Perú
