DVD Review: England 1 Australia 3
Reviewed by Sally Murphy

Australia's amazing soccer victory.




On February 12, 2003 at Upton Park, London, Australia created history. Not content with having beaten England in every other sport, the Socceroos defeated England 3-1 in a football upset which will live in the hearts of Australian soccer supporters for a very long time.

Australia had never beaten in England in football and there was no expectation that it would happen this time either. WIth superstars including David Beckham, Michael Owen and Paul Scholes on the English team, the 'friendly' game seemed to many to be a mere workout. The Australian team, however, had other ideas, proving they can play the sport at world level.

This commemorative DVD includes the full match, plus post-match interviews with the coaches. A must-have for sport fans.
