I love a sporting country,
a land of skill and style.
Where the of Kewells and Cahills,
show their gusto and their guile.

Theres Schwarzer in the goal square
More solid than a wall
we love the world game here in OZ
a game for one and all
Stepo completed Write a poem about Australia and football for Australia Day

A proud nation,
sporting mad.
Australia,
but one sport made us sad.

The beautiful game,
31 years past,
without qualifying for the World Cup.
but, Aloisi scores, at long last!

We qualified!
Our group was.
The Group of Death!
Kewell scores, we're through!

On a sunny day we call australia day
We gather around and fun abounds
And what better way on australia day
for football to come for us to beat the poms
DbleD completed Write a poem about Australia and football for Australia Day

Once upon a time we were pelted with bottles
Then our sexuality was questioned
Now the others run from us in fear
Fearing what we can become
We are number one in juniors
soon to be number one in all
Watch the socceroos flags multiply
& yell OLE OLE OLE

the world cup has come
no sleep for some
Pim's off doing training the team
getting out of the group is easy it wouls seem
the ulimate feather in the cap
would be to beat the poms by one crack
good luck boys
we've all bought the toys.

There once was a man named harry,
a magician at the least,
with the ball on his feet,

Australians indeed young and free
parks fill with grog and flags of thee

Thousands years people here roamed,

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of football jewels,
Of awesome Timmy Cahills,
Of lethal Harry Kewells,
So bring to us the world cup
In '22 or '18,
Our heroes on our doorstep -
The beautiful game for me.

It couldn't be worse
we were stuck with a curse
Aussie football was dead
untill one man said

I told you so
Johnny Warren and co
Stated our game
would rise and see fame

It was 2005
Millions watched live
one mans left cleet
Booked a world cup seat

Australia Day is about being true blue,
eating lamb chops and playing football too.
For our mighty Socceroos have done us proud,
they're off to Africa where we'll chant loud.
They'll win the cup and make us cheer,
So lets celebrate with a nice cold beer!
