Of all the "what if" teams I have created, this team is the most unrealistic.  I am stretching this blog team to the very limit and created a team that would be the ultimate fantasy team of many soccer fans around the world.  

Imagine Cristiano Roanldo and Lionel Messi playing on the same national team. And it could have happened.

Cristiano Ronaldo's grandparents moved to Perth, Australia when he was 5 years old. His mother decided to stay behind in Portugal while her parents and siblings left for the Down Under. Meanwhile, it was reported Lionel Messi's parents also studied the idea of moving to Australia, but did not go through with the plan. If fate had it, both Ronaldo and Messi could be playing for Socceroos around the same time.  

Please read my source here about Ronaldo and here about Messi.

Why do I decide to create a blog for Australia 2006 team? Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were better players in the World Cup Finals of  2010, 2014 and 2018, but there are more things to spice things up in 2006. The 2006 World Cup Finals was Australia's Golden Generation in their prime. Furthermore, Christian Vieri who grew up in Australia was still an active player. 
Australia World Cup 2006

Prediction
The 2006 World Cup Finals was Australia's first World Cup Finals since 1970's.  The 2006 team was probably the greatest ever Australian team.  Mark Viduka, Tim Cahill, Harry Kewell, etc were widely considered among the greatest ever Australian players in history.  Meanwhile, Croatia also included three Australian-born players namely Joey DidulicaJosip Šimunić and Anthony Šerić on their World Cup team.  Georgios Samaras (Greece)'s father was also born in Australia, making him eligible for an Australian passport.  Please do not forget that Christian Vieri was eligible to play for Australia. 

I do not believe Ronaldo and/or Messi would be the same players if they grew up in Australia. Without the same soccer culture from Portugal and Argentina, their development might have gone through a different path. They might not be Ballon d'or level player. However, they still have the same DNA to become extremely good footballers. Christian Vieri who spent his childhood in Australia turned out very good.  So Australia do have the capacity to produce world class footballers.  Ronaldo and Messi should at least become on the same level as Vieri.

In the actual World Cup Finals, Australia narrowly lost to eventual winner Italy in the second round by a controversial penalty on the 93rd minute.  Italy was playing with 10 men for most of the second half.  So it is entirely possible that Australia could have beaten Italy with Lionel Messi and Cristano Ronaldo.  The next opponent in the quarterfinal would be Ukraine, a team that Australia would be capable to beat.  So reaching the semifinal was very possible.  Germany the host awaited them in the semi-final.

Christian Vieri 

Team Explanation 
-- Both Cristano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi played their first World Cup Finals in 2006.  The real Messi was 18 years old making his name in his first season in the senior side of Barcelona while the 21 years old Ronaldo was an emerging star in the Premiership with Manchester United. They would become better players in 2010, 2014 and 2018.
-- Mark Schwarzer, Mark Viduka, Lucs Neil, Zeljko Kalac, Craig Moore, Tim Cahill, Harry Kewell and Brett Emerton are on my Australia's All-Time team.
-- The skill level of a player is sometimes affected by the training and their upbringing.  Ronaldo and Messi probably would not be Latino type of players if they grew up in Australia.
-- Australia is great at many sports.  It is entirely possible that the pair ended up in a different sport.  Cristiano Ronaldo has the speed, height and size to play rugby or Australian rules football.  Meanwhile, Messi might not have the height to play the two sports, but he had the speed to be a top rugby 7 player.  He is as tall as Waisale Serevi, the greatest rugby 7 player ever. With a different type of weight training for rugby, both Messi and Ronaldo could bulk up to take the sport in Australia.  So I won't be surprised that both players would not be playing soccer at all.
-- Because of the presence of three Australian-born Croats (Joey Didulica, Josip Šimunić and Anthony Šerić) playing for Croatia in the 2006 World Cup Finals, I could have created a blog fantasy team for Australia 2006 with or without Ronaldo and Messi. The blog would be similar to the one I did with USA World Cup 2010. However, Josip Šimunić would be the only Croatian player who could make an impact in Germany for Australia.  The blog team would not be much different from the actual Australia's 2006 team. So I did not create an alternative 2006 team for Australia until I found out about Ronaldo and Messi. 
-- At the time of writing, I did not have enough material to create blog teams for Eusebio's alternative path, but I created an alternative team for Brazil with Careca in 1982.
-- Christian Vieri's form dropped during the 2004-2005 season.  He was sold to AC Milan in the summer of  2005, but he quickly moved to Monaco in January of 2006 so that he could make Italy's World Cup team.  However, he suffered an injury in March, 2006 which ruled him out of the World Cup Finals.  While Marcelo Lippi publicly said that he would have considered to have Vieiri at the Finals, I doubted that he would make the team with or without his injury.  His last cap for Italy was in October, 2005 against Malta. However, Australia might be a different story.  Would manager Guus Hiddink take him if he was not injured? 
-- By 2006, Christian Vieri had played more than 15 seasons in Serie A.  If he was "cap-tied" to Australia, he would have been the most experienced player for the Socceroos.  He would be a valuable asset. Besides, the addition of Christian Vieri would make this blog team more interesting.  I also took an injured Denis Law to my United Kingdom World Cup 1970 team so I could put Bobby Charlton, George Best and Denis Law in a World Cup Finals. I have already stretched the limit far enough by making Messi and Ronaldo "Australian".  So why not? 
-- Both Mark Milligan and Joshua Kennedy were new players in 2006.  They were 20 years old.  Realistically, I would have taken Kennedy over Vieri, but this is not a real team.  He was left off the team for Vieri.
-- John Aloisi, Mark Viduka and Christian Vieri were similar type of strikers. I knew for a tactical point of view that I should look into other types of strikers.  
-- Goalkeeper Joey Didulica edged out Ante Covic, but it was not a clear decision.  
-- In 2006, Josip Šimunić was at the peak of his career playing for Hertha Berlin.  He was a regular starter for Croatia.
-- Stan Lazarisdis was 33 in 2006.  So I took Anthony Šerić (Croatia) who was 27 years old.    
-- Luka Modric and Mark Viduka are cousins.  Mark's father Joe is reported to be first cousins with Modric’s father.  In 1991, Modrić became a refugee because of the war in the former Yugoslavia. However, there was no indication of Modric ever going to Australia. So he was not considered for this team. In the 2005–06 season, Modrić signed a ten-year contract (his first long-term contract) with Dinamo Zagreb.  Modric, Ronaldo and Messi would have been awesome for the next three World Cup Finals.
--  Georgios Samaras (Greece)'s father was born in Australia, making his eligibility for Australia possible. Samaras was playing for SC Heerenveen the season before the World Cup Finals and he was on his way to play for Manchester City.  He was a well-known prospect in Europe, but Australia already has Lionel Messi and Harry Kewell in 2006 on the left.  He was unlikely to be selected. So I did not take him.
-- Australian-born Avraam Papadopoulos was playing as a forward in the Greek league before he was converted to be a defender.  In 2006, he would not make it to the World Cup team.  From 2008 to 2014, he was capped 37 times for Greece.

Formation
Both Kewell and Christian Vieri sat on the bench.  In 2006, Kewell was a veteran, but he gave his way to Ronaldo who was an emerging star in Premiership.  Kewell might still be a better option in 2006, but this blog was an imaginary team that meant to put Ronaldo and Messi on the same lineup in a World Cup Finals.  Kewell gave his way to my "fantasy".  Some fans probably preferred to start Vieri to complete this ultimate fantasy.

This 3-5-2 formation allowed Kewell who was voted as the greatest Australian player ever to start along side Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo might want to play as a wing-forward, but he did play this position for Portugal during Euro 2016.  In 2006, Ronaldo was still the "showboat".  He had not developed his scoring prowess.
