Football is about moments.
Your first time wearing the Green and Gold. The roar of the national anthem. A frenetic 90th minute winner.
Moments that matter, moments that you’ll never forget.
The same is true for following it. Your first game. The 3am pilgrimage. The joy and despair.
In the stands. In town squares. At home.
We obsess over these moments.
But many look back instead of forward. They think we had a ‘Golden Generation’ and that nothing will ever beat ‘06.
But if the Socceroos have taught us anything. It's that history only exists to be rewritten.
So, let's talk about moments, since ‘that’ moment.
Our first major international trophy. Crowned Champions of Asia. And on home soil.
Qualifying for the World Cup again and again and again. No shortcuts, here. We’ve come to take the long road in our stride.
Earning the right to compete on football’s greatest stage.
And when we’re there. Overcoming Peru. Knocking out Denmark. Giving Messi one hell of a scare.
Our best World Cup performance. So far…
16 years without beating Japan? Streak over. Bend it like Behich.
Qualifying directly for our seventh World Cup. Six. In. A. Row.
These moments are Gold. Immortalised in Australian football forever.
Connected to our culture, which goes far deeper than football.
Forever defying doubters. Forever building.
It doesn’t matter where we’re playing or how early in the morning.
Where you came from or where you’re cheering from.
Every last goal. Every generation. One squad, made of millions.
We’re Forever loud. Forever proud. Forever passionate. Forever dreaming. Forever one.
We are FOREVER GOLDEN.
