AUSTRALIA v NETHERLANDS

Socceroos take on Netherland in Holland tonight 8:30pm Perth time. This match comes after the friendly with the dutch amateur team VV Kloetinge which the Socceroos won 8 -1 on Friday.
The big supprise was Harry Kewel played the whole game and scored 3 goals. The worry was Tim Cahill may have aggrevated his injured knee.

Socceroo coaching staff were happy with Kewell's return. Assistant coach Graham Arnold said that Kewell had only played at his own insistence because he wanted to boost his fitness. "It was good to see Harry back on the field. He got through 80-odd minutes with no repercussions. Timmy (Cahill) just felt a little bit. It's not a problem at all," Arnold said.

Some interesting news ahead of the game against Holland tonight in Rotterdam. It is being touted that Luke Wilkshire will in fact start tonights game, and take on a role similar to that of Cahill’s. With Cahill not being 100% match fit, it is likely he wont get game time until the second half.
Schwarzer is almost certain to get the nod ahead of Kalac in goal, while Sterjovski looks like keeping in Harry Kewell’s left wing position. As mentioned before, we are likely to see Aloisi partner Viduka up front in a new look attack.

Probable team for tonights game:

Schwarzer

Emerton Neill Moore Chipperfield

Bresciano Grella Culina Wilkshire Sterjovski

Aloisi Viduka.

This is gonna be a very tough game. Cmon Aussie!
