So back the the roots with an aussie coach for the Socceroos like Frank Farina and Graham Arnold before. The matches between the Socceroos and France have ended most of the time with tight results, only in 2013 the loss had been a little disaster.

Stats & Facts:
The two teams have met in three previous matches, all in friendlies, most recently in 2009. This has been the only loss of the Socceroos against “Oranje Elftal“. Australia’s defender Ivan Franjic head home after devastating injury in the World Cup match against Chile five days before and therefore missed that game. In the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil he started at right back in Australia’s 3-1 loss to Chile. At the 35th minute he crossed to Tim Cahill who scored Asutralia’s only goal in that game. Franjic later succumbed to a hamstring injury and was substituted in the second half. He was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament to his bitter disappointment.

Stats & Facts:
This is the very last Socceroos kit we were able to watch Socceroos hero Mark Bresciano playing after his retirement in February 2015. His last match was a 2-0 victory over China during the Asian Cup 2015 and his Socceroos career even ends with the win of the Asian Cup trophy. Mark has scored 13 goals for Australia and most of them were special with probably the most important euqalizing goal against Uruguay in Sydney, 2005. Thank you Mark, and we all wont forget the way how you celebrate your scored goals.
