And from what i was reading regarding venues for World Cup/Asian Cup joint qualifiers that the Asian Football Confederation deadline to nominate match venues is 3 months (12 weeks) before the match means Football Federation Australia will confirm the venue for first home game for the Socceroos which is Thursday October 10th immediately after the draw held on Wednesday July 17th at AFC House in Kuala Lumpur.

i wish we would play the usa in a friendly they seem the same level as us 

"The draw held on Wednesday July 17th at AFC House in Kuala Lumpur" 

Sweet, look forward to it. 

only 3 months till the first game. Who'd a thunk it!  Given the international window starts on the 2nd of September, what's the chance of having a friendly before we kick off the WC qualifiers?

This is where New Zealand cums in handy, would be a ripper of a game considering the All Whites have a better squad then the Socceroos.

Nah, no more back to the future. Kiwis can believe their own publicity... and fairytales.

What would a nz starting 11 look like?

Who cares. Nothing to gain by playing FIFA ranked 119 side, not playing in our confederation.

Bear in mind that this is correct if the Socceroos are drawn as A1/B1/C1 etc and not moved to A5/B5/C5 etc or otherwise adjust the draw to provide a bye on Match Day 10 (June 9) ahead of the 2020 Copa America kicking off on 12 June.. 

IMO this could be a possibility for both Australia and Qatar and has occurred previously with Japan in 2014 World Cup Qualification ahead of the 2013 Confederations Cup. If we are moved to Pot 5 then other teams in the Group would move up 1 pot meaning the Pot 2 side in our group would be the new Pot 1.

Play our last home game in Canberra in the depths of Winter to completely rattle those Middle Eastern teams. 

I would love to see this.

Send them to Hobart. It meets the requirement of having an international airport but has no scheduled flights.

Official word coming from the Japan Football Association website last Friday Night that next Wednesday's 2022 FIFA World Cup - Asian Qualifiers/2023 AFC Asian Cup joint qualifiers round 2 draw will take place at AFC House in Kuala Lumpur at 5.00pm (Kuala Lumpur Time), 7.00pm (Melbourne Time).

I would love to see this too.

Thanks for the heads up.

We don't need to, our home WCQ record is impeccable in Australia. We lost once against China fielding a youth team with Harry Kewell. That was when we first joined the AFC and that's the only WCQ loss in Asia that we've had. 

So really unless we want to promote the game in Tassie it's not necessary.

It's not about it being necessary, it's just a great big Get Farked to the West Asian teams who we always seem to play in the middle of a desert summer, among their other usual antics. 

Making the Saudis fly all the way to Hobart and letting them suffer a wet and windy game would be excellent shithousery. 

Tonight's the night! 7.00 pm eastern.

While it's true that we have an excellent record at home for WCQs, but there are definitely better footballing nations than us that strategically pick their home games.

Throwing Tassie a bone would also be worth it, as far as I can tell there's never been a Socceroos game down there which is unacceptable.

Most of all as you say it'd be a great middle finger to one of those West Asian teams and give them a hard time, which would be highly satisfying. Maybe we should hold off until the next stage to see if we get Saudi Arabia, hopefully on a match day in the middle of winter.

What's on today?

Like they should have made the Scots play Australia in Darwin for a World Cup Qualifier back in the day instead of Melbourne.  

I'm a big believer in making the opposition as uncomfortable as possible. Especially West Asian team whom I despise on general principles.  

is it the world cup draw?

how do we watch? 

That's what I thought at first but that'll be on next week. Unless this article is wrong:
http://www.the-afc.com/asiancup/news/asian-qualifiers-draw-to-provide-pathway-to-qatar-and-china

Yep I'm pretty certain it's still next week. The AFC should stream it on their youtube channel, I'll be sure to post it if nobody else beats me to it.

Yep even if Darwin wasn't viable, that was unacceptable playing that game in Melbourne.

Oops, my bad, senility setting in!

lol I once went to Docklands stadium in my Socceroos shirt right on time on the day before a WCQ there haha

No full internationals but they had a B match in 1957 against Ferencvaros

Wow thanks, I didn't know that, the history of our game in our country especially outside of Melbourne and Sydney can be really hard to google unless someone gives you some key words to search for like "Ferencvaros"!

Not only did an Australia XI play Ferencvaros in 1957 at North Hobart Oval, but a Tassie XI played against Hearts from Edinburgh there two years later, and two years after that a temporary basketball court was erected for the Harlem Globetrotters: https://turfmate.com.au/the-history-behind-north-hobart-oval/

I think we can all agree that in the 97 years since our first national team match in 1922 the fact that not one single full international home game has been held in one of our six states is not OK.
