"The Socceroos have made Australia proud through their efforts at the World Cup," Australia Post Philatelic Group Manager Noel Leahy said in a press release.

At its first entry to the World Cup finals in 32 years, Australia made it through to the second round of the World Cup, only being stopped by Italy.
