In the previous two FIFA World Cup campaigns, Australia banked on their experience. In the FIFA World Cup 2014, Australian coach Ange Postecogulu has selected a team that has the blend of youth and seasoned campaigners like Mark Breciano and Tim Cahill.

The goals will have to come from Cahill, who is the country’s all-time top scorer. Adam Taggart, the young striker has caught the eye of many and has made a flying start to his career. Despite not being spectacular, Australia’s dogged spirit should give other teams a run for their money.
