Tony Popovic has been named in Australia's 23-man squad for this summer's World Cup.
The 32-year-old central defender has been a regular foe the Aussies over the years, earning more than 50 caps, and he and his team-mates will hope to cause an upset by progressing from Group F.
The Socceroos face a tough challenge to achieve that goal, with Brazil, Japan and Croatia lining up as their opposition in the group.
However, they will take heart from the fact that coach Guus Hiddink has got to the last four in the previous two World Cups with Holland (1998) and South Korea (2002).
