Message: [QUOTE="pennywisealfie, post: 2302806, member: 1813"] just because its not well known, doesnt mean that we dont have tradition. Im very proud to call the Socceroos my team. Being a fan of Australian football all of these years, I've seen my fair share of disappointments. I remember taking a day off school in 93 to see Argentina go to the world cup in our place after a deflected goal off Alex Tobin, i remember in 97 on the verge of tears after losing to Iran and then again 4 years later against Uruguay. While these are all bad memories, we wouldn't be where we are today without them. Yes things change, I'm no longer the only person I know who is passionate about football, soccer is now called football, we no longer hire guys like Frank Arok & Eddie Thompson as coach, a win against NZ is no longer cause for celebration, rather criticism that we didn't beat them by enough...all these things are different then when i was first into football, and I'm happy to see that, but some things shouldn't change, the gold and green jerseys and the socceroos name are good examples.
