Based on what Paphitis, your fantasies?
Based on the quality of players and the standard of the A League which is far superior to the Greek and Cypriot First Division.
Also based on the fact that there are Australian Players in just about all the pro leagues of Europe. Over 300 in fact and some are worth a shitload and play in the top leagues such as EPL, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Turkish Leagues etc
Also based on the fact that the Australian Team do not play as many games. When they do, they mix it with the best of South America, Asia and Europe and have won a lot of games against top quality opponents such as Brazil whereas Cyprus would get hammered all the time.
Also based on the fact that I do not believe Greece has the mental toughness to play against Australia and survive.
Also based on the fact I believe that Australia would defeat many countries ranked higher, including the US and Greece.
Just as I suspected… hallucinations!
Now I’m gonna introduce you to a different kind of ranking… the league rankings where Australia’s league wouldn’t even rank 100th!

As you can see, even though our national team sucks, our league is pretty good.
