Cahill may get nod for Denmark
Print Edition
Australia鈥檚 coach would not say whether all-time leading scorer Tim Cahill would play today against Denmark.
鈥淭here鈥檚 always a chance 鈥 for all the players,鈥 Bert van Marwijk said yesterday when asked if Cahill might play or even start.
The 38-year-old Cahill is Australia鈥檚 top scorer with 50 goals in 106 appearances. He has been on Australia鈥檚 roster for four World Cups, and could join an elite club with four other players who have scored in four straight editions of soccer鈥檚 top tournament.
With his hat trick against Spain in Portugal鈥檚 opener, Cristiano Ronaldo joined the group. Others who have goals in four consecutive World Cups include Pele, Uwe Seeler and Miroslav Klose.
Cahill did not play in the Socceroos鈥 1-2 loss to France in their World Cup opener in Kazan on Saturday. After playing Denmark in Samara, Australia will face Peru on Tuesday in Sochi.
France and Denmark lead Group C with wins. Australia, the lowest-ranked team in the group at No. 36, is vying to advance out of the group stage for the first time since 2006.
Van Marwijk, appointed coach in January, did not reveal any of his plans against the 12th-ranked Danes. He said all 23 players were fit.
鈥淚 will not talk about changes or no changes. We analyzed the (France) game very well. Everybody was disappointed, including myself. But we also know that we have to go on.鈥
