The Team:

With Jacob Italiano ruled out of the World Cup due to injury, it's very likely that Tony Popovic sticks with Jordy Bos at right wing back so he can cut inside in attack onto his left foot, with Aziz Behich remaining off the left.

Jason Geria is the obvious replacement if Tony Popovic wants to shift Bos back to the left side. In midfield, the St Pauli duo of Jackson Irvine and Conor Metcalfe could be a great combination.

Both players have impressed so far, but the central midfield places are hard to predict, with Aiden O'Neill coming off a player of the match performance, and Paul Okon-Engstler playing very well so far. Tough to pick, but an experienced due could be a masterstroke, unleashing Australia's best attack.

An attack of Nestroy Irankunda, Cristian Volpato, and a return for Mohamed Toure would be top class. This trio would cause carnage together and it's a crime against humanity we are yet to see them all together in attack.
