World Cup 2018: 3 Australian players to Look Out For 

#1 Tim Cahill

Cahill is the fourth-oldest player in the competition

As the oldest player on the team, he is also the most experienced, with 106 caps to his name. In the two international friendlies held in June, Australia won both, but Cahill played only 10 minutes and he did not find the net. The forward has scored 50 international goals in his career and it would be his fourth time playing in the World Cup this summer.

The former Everton forward last played in April 2018 and his match fitness does seem to worry many. Australia has long been dependent on their 38-year-old striker who earnt himself a reputation in England and in the world. However, it looks like the senior player may start on the bench instead of the being named in the starting eleven.

Despite that, his team-mates have backed him to join the elite World Cup club-players who have scored at four World Cups. Cahill is regarded to be very strong in his aerial duels and is capable of holding onto the ball and help his team defensively. As the fourth oldest player of the tournament, it is not expected that he will start every match even though Australia look pretty weak in their attack. Even as a substitute, he could still have a huge influence on the performance of his team and in the dressing room. His deep knowledge of international opponents and experience could give the Socceroos a vital edge as they prepare to face tough opponents.
