Bresciano Mark
Did you Know?
Australia made up for lost time at the Fifa World Cup “Germany 2006” and qualified for the Round of 16 before narrowly falling to eventual champions Italy. Buoyed by his strong club season, Bresciano played in Australia’s opening game of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, being substituted before the team went on to score three goals and defeat Japan. He came on as a substitute in the second game against Brazil and, in the third Group Stage game, was instrumental in the 79th-minute goal scored by Harry Kewell against Croatia. The goal resulted in a 2–2 draw, a result securing Australia’s place in the second round. Against Italy, Bresciano was judged to be in a scoring position in the 50th minute when fouled by Marco Materazzi, the Italian receiving a red card. Italy went on to win after being awarded a penalty in the dying minutes of the game, eliminating the “Socceroos.” After being identified as a key player for Australia, Bresciano’s overall performance at the tournament failed to live up to expectations, described by an FFA writer as “solid without being spectacular,” although his role as a set-piece-specialist was highlighted.

Oar Tommy
Did you Know?
This shirt was issued for Tommy Oar for the International friendly game between Japan and Australia which took place in Osaka, “Nagai Stadium”, on November 18th 2014. Japan defeated Australia 2-1. Oar didn’t play and he either wasn’t a substitute. On 22 December 2009 Oar was named in the Australian national team squad for the first time for the 2011 Asian Cup Qualifier against Kuwait but did not receive match time. On 3 March 2010 he made his debut for Australia in a 1–0 win over Indonesia in the final 2011 Asian Cup Qualifier. His performance in this match led to comparisons to Harry Kewell and the potential for Oar to succeed the Australian great. In August 2011 he played in the U-20 World Cup in Colombia where he scored a 30-yard free kick in the last minute of the game against Ecuador to level 1–1. The goal went on to be voted Goal of the Tournament. In 2013, Oar scored his first full international goal in a World Cup Qualifier against Japan. The matched finished 1–1, the goal aiding Australia’s efforts to qualify for the 2014 World Cup.[28] Oar was later named as part of Australia’s 2014 FIFA World Cup squad, where he started and played in all the respective group matches, and later in the 2015 Asian Cup squad.
