The 1993 World Cup Socceroos that
faced New Zealand before meeting
Argentina.With a large number of the
squad based in Europe, they were
dubbed THE DREAM TEAM by
the media. The Socceroos beat the
Kiwis comfortably before they were
narrowly knocked out of the World
Cup by three time Champions Argentina
after a 1-1 draw and a 0-1 defeat
!!!!
!!!
 One of my greatest memories was
meeting Diego Maradona in November 1993 when Australia
faced Argentina in Sydney and in
Buenos Aires for the last available spot in the 1994 World Cup. A 1-1
draw in Sydney followed by a close
0-1 away loss denied the Socceroos
a deserved place in the Finals
