Join us on the 15th anniversary of the famous shoot-out win over Uruguay by reliving the entire November 16 documentary. More Socceroos videos: www.socceroos.com.au/
I’ve been to champions league matches, a uefa cup final, English premier league matches, fa cup matches, many Socceroos matches. This evening/match was special, not just as an Aussie, this atmosphere is what I still crave for to this day, the best night ever. Was there with my dad, it meant everything, I still tear up all these years later. Magic
One of the best sporting nights of my life.. I was seated in the most bleed section in the top tier with my wife and friends. The place went off when the last strike went in. What a moment.
Same here, what a night, I was in the nose bleed on the top deck, and I’ll never forget how loudly the Australian National anthem was sung by the 82,000 crowd. But what I’ll never forget is how complete strangers were hugging each other in celebration, after John Aloisi scored the winning penalty.
It is incredible how after that November 16, 2005, everything changed for both of them. Australia was never absent from a World Cup and Uruguay was not absent either after Germany 2006. I remember that participation of the Australians was historic, memorable, incredible, magnificent, they did not deserve. Australia did not deserve to lose to Italy
I am indian, please pray for us, one day we can be witness just like that, The group of FIFA World Cup, 48 teams and India are one of them, best of luck socceroos.
I was there that night, I followed every campaign from 1974 but I had a feeling the pain was about to end. I still get goosebumps and tears watching this
I'm just an ordinary 61 yr old aussie, limited talent but love my football, cricket and afl. I felt every one of those 32 years of narrow defeats. I was at the G for that Iran match when that F***wit attention seeker came on and cut the nets. 2-0 up we should have won. Biggest disappointment of my sporting life, and as a Pies man I've seen 9 losing grand finals! So this day - Nov 16 - still remains my best ever sporting moment. Hard to explain to the younger generation how intensely cathartic and emotional that moment was. If you could only bottle that feeling . . . .
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 💛💚🇦🇺
The way that Guus prepared us and made sure everything with right for us to qualify that campaign, absolute genius, what a legend for Australian Football
And to top things off, the Australian team celebrated the win afterwards in the changerooms with John Travolta and Kelly Preston, singing the Grease mega mix. Travolta was there as the ambassador for Qantas and Australia was sponsored by them at the time.
I like this video. It is about disappointments and human endurance. Australian team has just won a fan half way round the world. May you continue to improve and excel
I think the biggest irony of this is that this result directly led to Uruguay's newest golden era, while Australia has since faded into irrelevance in the footballing world. Crazy how things turned out.
Qualifying through the inter-continental play-off is tough, but whenever you did that by beating a South American team, that means this team is no average team. Coincidently, Arnold is in both teams.
My birthday is on November 17th... went to the game on the 16th had 10beers before kickoff as Kewell wore the 10 jersey so 10 beers before kickoff... Boooed the Ffff our of “UareGay” it was just a sensational night,
it was around 12pm local London time when i was at gatwick airport sitting in the air canada lounge waiting for my flight home to toronto they had the australia uruguay match playing on the tv's and an hour later at 1pm is when the penalties started almost everyone regardless of nationality exploded when aloisi scored
This was your greatest triumph in "soccer". Congratulations on that. I must confess that as a kid, I suffered a lot for this defeat. But on the other hand, I think it helped Uruguay start over again, and become a top team again. In 2005 we had many organizational problems, among other things. Anyway, I can't wait to face Australia again, in a decisive instance, of course, and show the world who's really boss. Yo 4 y vos? Guus Hiddink TLTT con el bolso en el 88. Chengue Morales for life.
@@mahootissherlockis2055 That's the only answer or argument that you all have? That I supposedly use google translate? Obviously yes. Cause you are a bunch of losers with no history in football. You can't refute anything I say. Go take a look fifa ranking
Harper got it right, if you are from Uruguay, you fear nobody in football, simple as. Check them, qualified for the 2023 rugby world cup, imagine the pool of players in a 3.5 million football mad population. No chips on their shoulders, ever. I'm Italian-Argentinian
And Australian football has been on the decline ever since meanwhile Uruguayan football progressed significantly. Yes Australia qualified to more world cups but via asia....
