How they qualified No qualification cakewalks against the Cook Islands these days. The Socceroos squeaked through the Asia group, a late goal against Iraq securing third place and automatic qualification. World Cup high Got to last 16 in 2006 and has a glorious opportunity to progress against 10-man Italy, but couldn’t apply the coup de grace and lost to an injury-time penalty. World Cup low Put up a decent show in South Africa and were harshly eliminated on goal difference in favour of Ghana, a 0-4 paddling off Germany the hammer blow. Familiar faces Rhys Williams (Middlesbrough), Mike Jedinak (Crystal Palace) The manager Only sacked Holger Osieck in October, after successive 6-0 defeats toBrazil and France, so former Melbourne Victory coach Ange Postecoglou will surely take the team to Brazil. How in danger is he? 1/10 Most likely to light up Brazil ... Tim Cahill remains their classiest act, and got new gaffer Postecoglou’s term off to a good start with a header to beat Costa Rica last month. Most likely to be sent home in disgrace ... If he’s there doing media work, and he manages to get involved with the green room buffet, then you can’t look beyond Mark Bosnich. Title odds 300/1 The stereotype is ... About the 83rd most popular sport in Australia, so well done to them for even being there. Grit. Battlers. The reality is ... A tradition of talented but somewhat flaky players. Now play decent football. Still a minority sport though. What they're known for Mateship 50 per cent Rugby 35 per cent Funny hats 12 per cent Minogues 3 per cent How Brazilian are they? Shirts look quite similar. It’s hot. They go to the beach. Roughly similar abilities in cricket. Very Brazilian. How Google translates the national anthem ‘Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi’ [language unknown] Duration A suitably no-nonsense 1 min 10 sec. How to dress like their fans Shorts (longer for formal wear). Shirt optional. Beer essential. Commentator's go-to stat Australians from Queensland are called “banana benders.” Bound to come in handy if they get a free kick in what used to be called “BeckhamTerritory”.

澳大利亚队的出线资格： 现如今，对阵Cook Islands已不再是一件轻而易举的事。澳洲队在勉强战胜亚洲组后，以一粒进球险胜伊拉克队，保住了其第三的地位，晋级下一轮赛事。 在世界杯的巅峰时刻： 澳洲队曾于2006年打入过16强，并十分幸运地遇上了被罚下一人的意大利队。尽管如此，澳洲队仍在补时点球阶段错失了决胜时机。 在世界杯的低谷时刻： 在以0-4被德国队血洗赛场之后，澳洲队在南非又遭到了与加纳比较净胜球时，当头一棒，致命的一击。 熟悉的面孔 瑞斯·威廉姆斯（米德尔斯堡），迈克·杰迪纳克（水晶宫队） 球队主教练 继澳洲接连以0-6惨败给巴西队及法国队后，10月霍尔格·奥希耶克被解雇，澳洲国家队迎来了前墨尔本胜利队教练——昂热·波斯特克格鲁，而球迷们也坚信，波斯特克格鲁定能带领澳洲队打进巴西。 他正面临着怎样的困局？1/10 最可能在巴西大放异彩的时刻... 在波斯特克格鲁休假期间，蒂姆·卡希尔挑起大梁，保持着其一贯的良好姿态，并于上月以一头球战胜克罗地亚，一举开门红。 最可能“落败”回国的情况： 如果你是想找从事媒体工作，并穿梭于演员休息室自助餐的人，那你可不能错过马克·博斯尼奇，但谈及足球... ... 夺冠赔率： 300/1 固有成见： 足球在澳洲人民的运动喜好排名中，约被排在了第83位。他们能够坚守在这里，真是不错！——格利特·贝特乐 现实是... 足球是一项传统的运动，却只有单薄的阵容。尽管人们日益重视这项运动，但仍只有少数人真正地关注它。 他们以什么而闻名？ 队友情谊 50% 英式橄榄球 35% 搞笑的帽子 12% 米诺格 3% 与巴西队的相似度比较： 与板球队之间存在相似的装扮似的，澳洲队队服的上衣与巴西队十分相似，十分惹火。非常“巴西”！ 谷歌是如何翻译其国歌的：“澳洲人！澳洲人！澳洲人！喔！喔！喔！” 歌曲时长： 合理的时长为1分10秒 怎样打扮才能彰显对澳洲队的热爱 短裤（比正式场合的短裤略长）；随意的衬衫；啤酒是必不可少的！ 评论员微评： 在澳洲队被判任意球（人称“贝克汉姆任意球”）时，来自昆士兰地区的“香蕉乡人”们迟早会一显身手。
