Australia, you've seen nothing yet!

February the 6th, 2008. That's the day football in Australia will go to a new level, forever.

That's the date of our first ever World Cup Qualifier through the Asian Football Confederation.

Imagine if Australia qualified for the next TWO World Cups. How many games would Australia have had to win. At least 5 competitive World Cup games each year, followed by the actual World Cup itself.

How much media coverage will these Socceroos World Cup games earn?

Even the "old media" attitudes will be defeated by the size of the World Cup, the interest of the people particularly at key points along the road.

Football will never have had such consistent coverage.

And of course, because the A-League is in place, the Women's league soon to start, Asian Champions League and a Fox Sports TV deal, Australian football is in a position to grow like never before.

February 6th. It all starts then.....now we just have to win a few games!
