I don’t remember the series at the time but it looks like a typical Canadian disaster. In the first game in Edmonton they are up a man early only to find themselves trailing at halftime on an own goal before squeezing out a 2-1 win. Then in game 2 in Sydney they are in a position to advance tied 1-1 before conceding in the 76th minute and losing on penalties. Good times!
The winner went on to play Argentina so likely no Cup anyways but the Aussies did put up a fight only losing 2-1 on aggregate.

Yeah they choked this away. Game in Edmonton was lazy and should've been more early.
Never looked confident back in Aus, and to make things worse, right after the Aid goal, TSN's feed went out, so you only had someone on the phone relaying back audio.
Think they would've had a shot at Argentina. Game here would've been in late fall iirc. Argentina was a mess that lead up.
But, prior to all this, they had a chance to beat Mexico in Toronto and qualify they day, and went up 1-0, and lost 2-1.
