A Great Win

The Socceroos have come from behind to win against a strong Bahrain side. What made this win more memorable was the fact that it was our debut into Asia, and furthermore, we did it with a severly understrength team.

Even Guus was not in attendance, which further highlights the strength in our coaching department when someone like Graeme Arnold can step up and keep the team calm while being down 1-0 at half time.

With a draw being played out in the Kuwait/Lebanon match, the win puts us in a very strong position in the group and we are now hot favorites to progress to the 2007 Asia Cup for the first time.
