what happened to Australia at federation

Federation occured in 1901. All the states and territories came together under one government, the Federal government. Some reasons for doing this was for transportation, selling products worldwide and for defence.

think Brazil had an extra gear which they didn't need to use, (Ronaldo never turned up). Croatia will beat the Aussies and qualify for the next round

No.  They played 90 minutes and Australia had a man advantage for 40 of them.  They can only blame themselves for not having scored before then.

Well firstly I am an Aussie.\nI have to say, they are very aggressive, and that comes across as arrogance. I think a lot of people whinge and complain about the way they play, but at the end of the day, they play hard but fair, and get the job done, which is why they are ODI and Test champions at the moment.\nHaving said that, the thing that occurred on the winners podium at the Champions Trophy was too much. It was rude and incomprehesable. I am not really sure what the players involved were thinking to be honest. However, the did issue personal and public apologies.\nI am sure it was just an over the top reaction in the excitement of the moment, and not a true reflection of their character.

Australia through grit and determination, made a lot of people who were neutrals, pick a side.  \n\nBe proud, because pride in this case is the fact that they held up the flag and every Ozzy was proud to a be a part of that.\n\nBe proud because, even I, a long time Brazilian supporter found myself, secretly of course, wanting to see the Australians pop one goal in..\n\nPride in this case isn't just about performance, its about giving everyone a dream.  and sharing something like that is Brilliant.

Australia, simple.Japan has no chance and Croatia isn't good enough yet.

I agree that Harry Kewell was a great winger at Leeds, but either injury or just Liverpool's style of play has just affected him badly. Plus he's had rotten luck as a Liverpool player. He was injured in their Champions League Final and then his so called great comeback in the FA Cup didn't materialize. It's just unlucky for Australia that he seems to have carried his "Liverpool" rather than "Leeds" luck over to the national team - - at least for this World Cup. Look for it in the summer - he'll probably leave Liverpool.

There will be a couple of iffy moments, but us Aussies should get over the line pretty comfortably. We need to shut down Peiterson and Flintoff early on.\nGO THE AUSSIES!!!

Hey Sabrina,\n\nThe referee happened to that game. He ruined what was looking like being a really good match.Now I am an Aussie that outside of my Socceroo's has followed Italy loyally since before the 2002 WC. The disallowed goal was a bad decision, I do not see the offside play that was cited, however The USA rose to the occasion today and the bad sportsmanship shown by De Rossi (sorry if I got that wrong) deserved the red card and he made it very hard on the rest of the team. There was no need for that and I was embarrassed for the Italian side. The referee's handling of the entire game was one of the most pitiful and inconsistent displays thus far.I hope he is demoted. It would have been a great game without his presence.

Not sure your question, but below are  links for Football Federation Victoria, the VIC state affiliate of FFA.\n\nUnfortunately, the site fails to divide Vic into regions.

My guys, the Australian Socceroo's have just knocked our socks off. This whole tournament, they have exceeded expectations and lifted an entire nation to a level of pride not felt for a very long time. To win one game was enough for Aussie supporters. To qualify for the final 16 is something that we always thought they could do but celebrated like they won the world cup. Australia is a very proud nation today thanks to these great men that represent us with such guts and determination. Sorry for the ramble but it's just so great for Australian football.

I don't think any of those teams were a surprise, Ecuador were in a weak group, as Poland aren't that good, Australia were also favourite to finish behind Brazil.\n\nAnd Ghana while they were not expected to advance their team is solid that its not a huge shock.\n\nBut to answer your question I think possibly Australia, could take Italy for a ride.

Brazil will be the first to qualify.. if Japan show the same class they showed in 2002, then it will be a good fight with croatia for second place.. Aussie fans, i am sorry, not strong enough to move to the next round..
