History of the Australia national soccer team : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of the Australia national soccer team The history of the Australia national soccer team dates back to the teams formation and first ever international match in 1922. ==1922–64: Early years==
The first Australian national team was constituted in 1922 for a tour of New Zealand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ozfootball.net/museum/index.php/archive/129-australia-vs-new-zealand-1922 )〕 During the tour, Australia suffered two 3–1 defeats and scraped a 1–1 draw.〔 Australia, New Zealand and South Africa became regular opponents in test (exhibition) matches for the next 36 years, with Australia playing South Africa on 14 occasions in three test series and Australia playing trans-Tasman neighbours New Zealand on 21 occasions in seven test series during that that time period.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://australiansocceroos.com/ )〕 During that period, Australia also competed against Canada and India during their tours of Australia in 1924 and 1938 respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/Socceroo/1924A.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/Socceroo/1938A.html )〕 Australia would have a rare opportunity to compete on the world's stage during the teams very first major international tournament as hosts of the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. A squad coached by Richard Telfer set out to try to win the tournament on home turf where they were drawn against Japan in the round of 16 (as the tournament was held in the knock-out stage format). A goal in each half, a penalty scored by Graham McMillan on the 26th minutes and then a goal by Irish born striker Frank Loughran on the 61st minutes, was enough to see off Japan. Facing India in the quarter-final stages, two goals from Bruce Morrow saw Australia equalise twice in the first half (first 1–1 and then 2–2). Locked at 2–2 until the 50th minute, India's Neville D'Souza put his side ahead before Krishna Kittu would add another on 80th minutes. It was ultimately an inexperience squad that proved to be reason for the teams disappointing performance in the tournament, with Laurie Schwab from The Age comenting, "''Australian soccer has lost a wonderful chance to gain world prominence and the game has suffered a body blow''".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ozfootball.net/museum/index.php/en/archive/84-1956-olympics )〕 The advent of cheap air travel in the 1960s allowed Australia to diversified its range of opponents.〔 However, its geographical isolation continued to play a role in its destiny for the next 30 years.〔
