U17 Aussies Representation: Does it guarantee success?

While the current Young Socceroos (Under 20) are taking on the best in Asia, some of them are already making waves in the A-League and elsewhere.

But does success in junior football, international junior football guarantee success.

Here's the most successful Aussie male team ever. Our Under 17s reached a World Cup Final in New Zealand in 1999 and only lost to Brazil on penalties.

See who made it, and who didn't!

Interesting Brazilians Leonardo, Adriano,and USA's Landon Donovan also starred in the tournament.
