They'd be pleased, but those interested in soccer know that friendlies are meaningless and thus wouldn't care much, and those not interested in soccer wouldn't care regardless. Australia beat Germany in Germany in a friendly in 2011, but it wasn't huge news. The most celebrated friendly win was when Australia beat England at Upton Park in 2003, but even that was forgotten pretty quickly. And the Australian Rugby Union team has about equal care factor for most people as the soccer team, perhaps less now.
Spoiler!

I've read this series flew under the radar in Australia. People more interested in AFL & State of Origin.
Still it was interesting to see England play a rugby match against the Wallabies at SCG for the first time in half a century. Likely to be the last time actually given the new stadium being built in Sydney. Also the administrators have decided to replace these traditional tours with a more lucrative 'Nations League' concept.
