Why Is Soccer On The Decline in Australia?

At the 2006 FIFA World Cup, a Socceroos squad containing the likes of Tim Cahill, Mark Viduka, and Harry Kewell made it through to the knockout stage, where they were only beaten by a 95th minute penalty against eventual winners Italy. Now, Australia's men's national team is only the fourth highest ranked AFC nation in the FIFA World Rankings, and is in danger of falling behind both Qatar and Saudi Arabia in the imminent future. So in this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a closer look at some of the reasons behind the decline in Australian soccer, the Socceroos' struggles, and what can be done to fix it.
