Socceroos World Cup Success


Australia has become the biggest growing sport in todays society. It is the most viewed sport in the World. However Australia has recently come to grips with this matter, where they find themselves put up on a podium due to the success of their previous World Cup in 2006.

They achieved much more than was expected, but thats the reality. Once u place yourself in a stiaution you rise to the occasion.

Australia has produced top players with the likes of Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka, Tim Cahill and so on. But it seems these elite players have had influence externally, meaning outside of Australia. Why is that? well firstly we can see that Asutralia has only recently adopted this sport as a national sport.

Where they have looked to one of there sister countries England for that expert level to benchmark off. However we have seen recently the Asutralian way of playing cannot be adapted to the english game. Where it should be noted successfull adoption and influence by the Dutch system, where it allows the players to play a game of tactition where it implements the focus on technicality and possesion of the ball, support and working up the ball as a unit rather than a long ball.

Now introduced into all junior competitions starting, FFA have injected into the system small sidded games, focusing on technical skill, game awareness, possesing the ball, confidence in a junior environment resulting and benchmarking against the qualities of countries like Brazil, Holland, Japan and e.t.c

I think it's all about having a very strong juniors program, which the FFA seems to be doing a good job with. If you get that right the rest should follow over the years, both in terms of having talent coming through, and generating spectators to support the game.
