Australia is very hard working and united team in this World Cup 2014. I am hopeful that they will qualify 2nd round in 2014 World Cup..
Australia 2014 World Cup Squad:
Goalkeepers: Mark Birighitti (Newcastle Jets), Eugene Galekovic (Adelaide United), Mitchell Langerak (Borussia Dortmund), Mat Ryan (Club Brugge).
Defenders: Jason Davidson (Heracles Almelo), Ivan Franjic (Brisbane Roar), Curtis Good (Dundee United, on loan from Newcastle), Ryan McGowan (Shandong Luneng Taishan), Matthew Spiranovic (Western Sydney Wanderers), Alex Wilkinson (Jeonbuk Hyundai), Luke Wilkshire (Dinamo Moscow), Bailey Wright (Preston North End).
Midfielders: Oliver Bozanic (Luzern), Mark Bresciano (Al Gharafa), Joshua Brillante (Newcastle Jets), James Holland (Austria Vienna), Mile Jedinak (Crystal Palace), Massimo Luongo (Swindon Town), Matthew McKay (Brisbane Roar), Mark Milligan (Melbourne Victory), Tommy Oar (Utrecht), Tommy Rogic (Melbourne Victory), Adam Sarota (Utrecht), James Troisi (Melbourne Victory), Dario Vidosic (Sion).
Forwards: Tim Cahill (New York Red Bulls), Ben Halloran (Fortuna Dusseldorf), Josh Kennedy (Nagoya Grampus 8), Matthew Leckie (FSV Frankfurt 1899), Adam Taggart (Newcastle Jets).
Possible Australia Starting Line-Up
4-3-3
Ryan
Franjic McGowan Spiranovic Davidson
Milligan Jedinak Bresciano
Leckie Cahill Oar
The Coach: Ange Postecoglou
The new man has a number of issues he needs to address, primarily the regeneration of an ageing squad. Postecoglou likes his teams to press and dominate possession, although the latter will be hard to achieve against what will be high caliber opposition in Brazil. Postecoglou will be expected to get his team fighting, with a heroic group stage exit probably deemed acceptable in the knowledge that the squad lacks quality in key areas.
Player to Watch: Tim Cahill
Almost certain to be Cahill’s last World Cup, the New York Red Bulls midfielder will want to go out with a bang. Cahill epitomizes the Aussie spirit that was missing under Osieck and has had no problem finding the net since his move to the US. In a squad that will feature several younger players, Postecoglou will be looking to Cahill to provide leadership out in Brazil.
Group Matches:
Friday 13th June v Chile (18:00 local time in Cuiaba)
Wednesday 18th June v Holland (13:00 local time in Porto Alegre)
Monday 23rd June v Spain (13:00 local time in Curitiba)
Prediction: Group Stage
