Digging into the archives, Australia "only" lost 2-1 on aggregate to an Argentina side that included Maradona and Batistuta.
This makes me even more thankful for the current Canada squad and qualifying schedule.
Speaking of terrible paths to qualification - remember the terrible Concacaf format for 2022 that Covid mercifully killed? Imagine being denied this Ocho?

But they would have crushed the losers bracket and then new zealand. So either way, I dont think this team was going to be denied.
