Record breaking Socceroos
The Socceroos have rocketed into the top 20 in the latest FIFA rankings. A successful end to our World Cup campaign, including wins over Bahrain and Japan, saw the Green and Gold jump a mighty 13 places to be in our highest ever ranking of 16th.
We are now firm leaders in Asia, with our nearest rivals Japan dropping nine places to 40th, followed by South Korea at 48th and Iran at 58th.
Brazil’s successful Confederations Cup means that they are now at the pinnacle of the rankings, followed by Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Russia, England, Argentina, France and Croatia.
Congratulations to the boys, keep up the good work!

Socceroos 2 Bahrain 0
We won. In freezing conditions. The stalls selling beanies and scarves were the ultimate winners of the night.
Sterjovski got the first and Carney got the second after a bicylce from Culina hit the bar. Overall a tame effort by the Socceroos. Even worse effort by the Bahrainis, surely someone must have told them it was too cold to go ... [read]
Bahrain preview
