Well we have made it to the World Cup for the second time and its only taken since 1974!
I was wondering what if footballers from our major codes had been soccer players instead of the stars they were/are at present, how we would have fared in the past? If RL RU and AFL had been only minor sports then the top players from the past in those codes would have played soccer.
How would past Australian teams fared if players like RL players Fulton, Gasnier, Lewis, Langer, Meninga, Miles, Geyer, Lamb etc and AFL players like Diakos, Carey, Matthews, Hudson, God, etc had been soccer players. God help the Brazilians and anyone else if Barry Hall or Chris Close or Eric Grothe or some other tall strong and skillful player who would not care if they maimed you was running at them!
How many World Cups would we have won and how would our success changed Australian society? Would beless or more xenophobic? More or less tolerent?
