Back on home soil for the first time since the World Cup, Australia take on world number 63 Iran as they get their Olympic qualification underway.
Hey Sam 😕 I've already eaten...let's not. Now I'm having a beer...I'm not sure the ABC would appreciate me talking about how much I love beer while on the job, so all I'll say is: drink responsibly.Australia take on world number 63 Iran in the first of their three Olympic qualifiers in this window.
In 2011, the country was banned from participating in a second-round Olympic qualifying game against Jordan because their players were wearing hijabs. One study I read suggested that almost half of Australia watched this game, shattering the previous record for a single television event. Aside fromat the Sydney 2000 Olympics, I really don't remember another sporting moment that stopped the entire nation like this one did.
