Current Generation- Asian Champions and yet to fail at qualifying for the World Cup.

"Golden Generation"- Failed to qualify for Japan 2002 and never won anything of note.

It's comparing Apples to Oranges, I do feel for the current lot however as they are often referred to as inferior to the "Golden Generation" who hasn't won anything of note.

You speak to an Englishmen and the team of 66 are regarded as national heroes, much the same as the Greeks feel about the team of 2004. Yet here in Oz we say the generation to deliver us our first Trophy of note aren't good enough. FML
