Australia will play its fourth consecutive world championship in Russia, the fifth in its history. The first participation of the Socceroos at the final stage of a World Cup dates back to 1974. The Australians arrived first in the qualifying round and went to play for the play-off against Iran (link). The victory in the play-off against South Korea gave the final qualification to the Australian national team. Unfortunately, in the group of Australia there will be East Germany, West Germany and Chile. The Australians lose the first against East Germany and also the second against Gerd Muller's West Germany. Finally, in the last game, the Australian national team got a draw against Chile. It was their first historic point in the final stages of a World Cup. For the 2018 World Cup, Retrofootball® launches the retro shirt of the Australian national team of 1974: yellow with green collar and trim, and the emblem of the time.
