AUSTRALIA

You may know that the Australian National team, the “Socceroos”, has thrashed soccer giants and world champions like Uruguay, France, and Argentina. It has also fought others like Brazil to a draw. However, you may not know that the secret behind these successes was often the intensity of its fans. 

Its outing at the 2018 World Cup may not have been all that savory, but these super fans kept their spirits, even breaking out beers to celebrate their players. The Australian team was ranked 41st in the 2018 FIFA men’s ranking but has traded that for the 38th position as of October 2022
