Cahill ready to shine against Serbia

(GSM) – Australia midfielder Tim Cahill revealed he is ready to give his all for team when Socceroos face Serbia in Wednesday’s must-win World Cup match in Nelspruit.

The Socceroos must beat Serbia and hope Germany loses to Ghana, if they are to progress into the second round at the World Cup.

Tim Cahill is returned after his one-match suspension and the fire in the belly is burning for the Everton midfielder.

“I’m ready to go now. For me, it’s about making sure of that. This week I have kept myself really fresh and sharp and made sure that the management can see that I’m edging to still be in selection and make sure that I try and start, if not come on at some point and make a difference,” he said.

“The hardest thing is. I can’t see many teams in this World Cup and trying to have a crack at it. Going down to 10 men, we showed that we can do it. Still in the second half, it could have gone either way and it could have bit us a bit,” he said

“It could have been another drubbing where they could hit us on the break. Those opportunities and those chances show how close we are.”

“I’m not the best watcher, but the one thing I did feel was the togetherness of the team. After all that, the lads were really disappointed, because it’s an opportunity gone, but at the end of the day, it’s still another opportunity, we’ve got one more chance.”
