Socceroos: Hopping Our Way Into History slogan ‘not too bad’
The Australian football team have revealed Socceroos: Hopping Our Way Into History is 
set to be emblazoned on the team bus taking the squad around Brazil during next months’ FIFA World Cup.
Decided by an online poll conducted by FIFA, the bus supplier and sponsor Hyundia, fans were invited to submit a slogan in October last year before the voting was opened in February. Every team in the tournament will have a slogan on their bus.
Many fans have taken to social media to vent anger at the chosen slogan, but Jack Lamacraft, director at M&C Saatchi Sports and Entertainment, described all the team slogans as “pretty amusing”.
“I don’t think you can take any of them too seriously,” he said. “Japan’s is my favourite for sure “Samurai, The Time Has Come To Fight!”, but I am not sure that my team (England) could get away with that one as there would be slightly different connotations.
It’s a bus slogan people – how unlike Australians to take this so seriously!
Best is Chile’s: “Go Chile”
Amazing stuff, to come up with that.
The only history I can think the Socceroo’s will be making is the how many goals Spain, Holland and Chile will score against our feeble lineup. However our slogan is not the worst one on the list; I think Switzerland’s, Italy’s and Korea’s are far worse, at the end of the day its only appearing on the team bus not on the shirt or teamwear.
Did I just read that Australia are a mediocre World Cup football team? Pur-lees! The author’s own team, England are pretty poor themselves!
I think they will come to roo this decision.
One too many P’s in that slogan
Shocking, was it a 5th class assignment?
The inclusion of an exclamation mark says it all.
Self conscious, uncertain, shouting to cover up for embarrassment.
I suppose it slightly better than ‘Hopping home straight after the group stage!’
Jacks favourite Japanese slogan could easily be adapted for England … “Three lions the time has come to be shite”
I wrote the slogan. I thought it was witty and that australians, famous for your sense onf humor would get it. I might have been mistaken, probably met and dated the wrong australians. sorry if you didn’t like it, somabody did if it won by popular vote of course. I will recieve a framed photo of the bus I “dressed” with this phrase and it will hang on my wall with pride.
What did we have to choose from? Bussy McBusface?
“Travellin’ in a fried-out Kombi” or “The Time has Come” would have worked, as would have, “We have a dream, we sing with one voice” , if copyright issues were not a problem. Pity I missed the deadline.
