After a strong start to the campaign with three wins in a row, they then stumbled in the next three with a loss and two draws.
A loss to Japan in Sydney prevented any chance of the Socceroos automatically qualifying and they had to get through UAE and Peru in single match playoffs in Doha.
The Socceroos were in Group D at the World Cup. They qualified for the round of 16 for just the second time ever after defeating Tunisia and Denmark, despite losing 4-1 to France in their tournament opener. However, they would gallantly lose 2-1 to Argentina in the knockout stages to end their campaign.

Australia made their run to the World Cup difficult, after spluttering through the Asian qualification stage. They managed to qualify after a strong play-off win over Honduras, but were drawn in a very tough group with European powerhouses France and Denmark, as well as Peru – who defeated New Zealand to earn their place.
The Socceroos were competitive in the group stage, but were unable to break through for a win and were subsequently eliminated after finishing last.
