In one mad month, Australia discovered what the rest of the world already knew. The FIFA World Cup is the greatest sporting event on earth.
Tony Wilson was in Germany for every minute of the Socceroos World Cup roller coaster - from those eight magical minutes against Japan in Kaiserslautern and the Samba showdown with Brazil in Munich, to the dramatic draw with Croatia in Stuttgart and the final catastrophe against Italy back in Kaiserslautern.
In a journey through 13 German towns and cities, with a stop-off in Strasbourg for the Tour de France, Wilson met bikini-clad Brazilians, a crazy conga line of Ghanaians, and a fan who hasn't missed a Socceroos game since 1969.
He learned how to say "We're going to Berlin" in seven languages, discovered German delicacies such as calves' feet, and sung the new Aussie classic "You've got no kangaroos". He was even part of a mission to hand deliver a bag of Cherry Ripes to Harry Kewell.
Tony Wilson is a fan, observer and student of the game. Australia United is his story.
"Part diary, part memoir, he captures the specialness of being there." Sydney Morning Herald

Australia United eBook Tony Wilson Reviews
For those Australians who were lucky enough to be in Germany in 2006, after 32 years in the football wilderness, this book will raise more than a smile as you recall those days of intrigue, passion and glory. For those who never got there, Australia United is the closest you'll ever come to sensing what it was like. I was there, and seven years later I feel like I'm there again reading Tony Wilson's wonderful account. Well researched, humorously written and sometimes gripping, this is a must read for any Australian football fan.
Hard to find a paperback version so this will have to do for now. Se the best sushi train you can be.
