  • The Socceroos first game was a 3-1 loss against New Zealand in 1922. England played Australia for the first time in Sydney in 1980. Despite being Wayne Rooney's debut in 2003 Australia won their first game against England 3-1 at Upton Park in 2003. Australia abandoned the Oceanic Football Confederation in 2005 to join the Asian Football Federation because they believed they could not play against quality opposition on a regular basis. The 31-0 win against American Samoa in 2001 was a case in point and still is the world record win in international football.
