Soccer-Australia qualify for sixth straight World Cup finals


(Reuters) -Australia qualified for a sixth straight trip to the World Cup finals on Tuesday when they defeated Saudi Arabia 2-1 in an Asian qualifier in Jeddah.

After beating Group C winners Japan in Perth last week, the Socceroos only needed to avoid a heavy loss to the Saudis to take their place in the finals in North America next year.
