MONTEVIDEO (November 14‚ 2001 8:52 PM EST ) - Uruguay booked a World Cup playoff against Australia on Wednesday after a 1-1 home draw with group winners Argentina here in their final South American World Cup qualifier.

Uruguay placed fifth in the South American group after Brazil qualified directly by beating Venezuela 3-0 while the Uruguayans edged Colombia out of the picture on goal difference even though
the Colombians won 4-0 in Paraguay.

Australia will host the first leg of the playoff on November 20 in Melbourne and Uruguay will host the return five days later in Montevideo.


BRING IT ON BABY! GO U AUSSIES

Thats exactly what the Aussies were hoping for Vanders ........ could we really be on our way to the World Cup?

Don't get too excited just yet. Although Uruguay is the best team to be playing, they still have many superstars, and have also played a lot more together.

However, the away leg will be at sea level, Uruguay haven't qualified in 20 years, and we have a damn good team.

Prepare for an absolute blitz of soccer publicity in the 10 days....the hype and excitement will be unbelievable.

COME ON AUSSIES!

This is good news, just imagine if we had to play Columbia or even worse Brazil.

Best team to play, but you must remember they drew with the best team in South America, so this ain't gonna be easy.

This is great news, we have a great chance of qualifying now, and on their day, I think Australia could challenge any team in the world cup, providing the other team didn't have a great game.

Our ranking is now 48 in the world, which isn't great, but is up 3 in the past 2 months, and up 24 over the past year.

However, Uruguay are ranked 23rd in the world, which is a slight fall from their 21 ranking 2 months ago. Still a bit of a tough challenge, but better than playing Brazil(2) or Colombia(8)

Three requests:

1) Please let's not say "could we really be going to the World Cup?" because anyone who has followed Australian soccer would know that we have a fantastic ability to shoot ourselves in the foot.

2) Can we call them Uruguay please?

3) Can we not call ourselves "Socceroos"? We're Australia, thanks very much.

You know I have never been interested in soccer, but the past few days, with the 'friendly' between France and Australia, I have become very interested indeed.

Go Aussies! :)
