Them fighting words! Socceroos: Hopping Our Way Into History. That’s what will be emblazoned on the team bus as the Socceroos travel around Brazil during next month’s FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

The slogan was decided by an online poll conducted by FIFA and the bus supplier and sponsor Hyundai. Fans were invited to submit a slogan in October last year before voting was opened in February.

Fans of the Socceroos have vented on twitter. One wrote "Why must we keep embarrassing ourselves on a global stage".
