Australia v Uruguay in World Cup play off...
Following Uruguay's 1.0 win over Argentina this morning, Australia will play Uruguay (again) in a 2 leg play off to qualify for the World Cup in Germany.
First leg in Montevideo, date TBA.
Second leg: Wednesday 16th of November at Telstra Stadium - Sydney.
(Shown live on SBS).
Woohoo!
Should be a brilliant excuse to have a few beers and cheer on The Socceroos!

It was between Uruguay & Columbia for who got the play off spot in the South American group. Columbia won this morning as well, but any win for Uruguay would see them through to play Australia.

Re: Australia v Uruguay in World Cup play off...
No matter how optimistic I am, my money has to be on Uruguay.
The last one of these I was in Oz for was when they played Iran in '97. They won in Tehran but absolutely blew it in Sydney.
But anyway, come on the Socceroo's.

Re: Australia v Uruguay in World Cup play off...
they should play this game somewhere else, in a made for 'football' stadium, such as the suncorp stadium. yeah, sure less people would get to go, but the atmosphere would be electric.

No, they should play it in Perth.
Plenty of brits here, so proper singing/chanting on the terraces. Should be simple enough to create a good old british style football ground atmosphere instead of screaming kids

Re: Australia v Uruguay in World Cup play off...
there's enough brits in brisbane too (too many in fact). does perth have a big enough 'football' stadium? perth glory's capacity is only 18,000 and subiaco, while seating 43,000 is an oval.

Yeah. It's revenge time for the Socceroos. Gus Hiddink is going to guide the Australian soccer team to glory, just as what he did previously with South Korea.
