AUSTRALIA
The team from Down Under has been quite consistent and has been part of each World Cup campaign since Germany in 2006. It is a different story that the group stage is usually where their journey ends, this time though, they will be hoping for something different.
They were good in the World Cup qualifiers as they topped their group in Round 2 and finished third in their Round 3 qualifiers. Now, talking about how they play, their main aim is to build up good attacking scenarios and when they lose the ball, most of their players move back into their defensive positions, so that they have a nice and compact structure to fall back upon.
Sometimes, some of their attacking players stay up and try to press the opposition players, while their midfielders run back, so there is space for the opposition team to exploit, if they can sort this out, they will not be susceptible to good attacks at the World Cup, where teams can punish every mistake you make.

TEAM NEWS
The Socceroos usually play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, sometimes also in the 4-4-2 formation, but usually in the former. Their skipper, former Brighton & Hove Albion goalie, Mathew Ryan will be key in instilling his defense with confidence as he has played in the top flight more than most of his teammates.
Aaron Mooy will also be vital in the middle of the park, as he will be the player through which the attack of the Socceroos will flow. We have seen his creative exploits in Brighton & Hove Albion, Celtic FC, and also for Huddersfield Town and if he brings out the same for his country, then we are in for quite a couple of fireworks.

INJURY LIST
Defender Kye Rowles is going to miss the tournament with a metatarsal fracture. Apart from him, no major injuries that could hamper a player’s chances of making the tournament have come out, so the Aussies look good in that regard.
