Former Everton midfielder Tim Cahill has stated that Australia are ready for one final excellent performance the World Cup, as they prepare to take on reigning world champions Spain. Even though Spain come into the match on the back of two defeats that sees them go out of the competition in the group stage, they will be a formidable opposition. Australia were expected to be the whipping boys in the group that contained Spain, Netherlands, and Chile. However, they have done rather well in the first two matches.
EVANS MIGHT BE BACK
The manager of Blackburn Rovers, Gary Bowyer, is optimistic about one of his experienced players Corry Evans getting match fit before the next match against Ipswich Town. That match will be played on the upcoming Saturday.
Evans had got injured while playing for the Rovers in their previous match against Brighton & Hove Albion.
ADAMS STEPS UP
A few weeks ago Chris Hughton was sacked and Norwich City appointed Neil Adams as the successor. This is a step up for Adams as his previous role in the Premier League club was coaching the Under-18s team.
Chris Nughton had to step down from his position at the club after his side lost 1-0 against West Bromwich which was played on April 5 at Carrow Road. Nughton was sustaining criticism and pressure as he just could not get Norwich City out of the bottom relegation spots of the Premier League and his signings failed on making any kind of impact with the squad.
ELEVEN CLEAN SHEETS
Tim Howard recorded his 11th clean sheet of the season during Everton’s victory against West Ham United. Romelu Lukaku scored the only goal of the entire match but it was just enough for Everton to secure the triumph and climb to the 6th position of the Premier League.
Romelu Lukaku has scored 10 goals for Everton in this season which has helped the club on getting into the top 7 spots of the Premier League but the Belgian forward is set to return to Chelsea at the end of the season.
WORLD CUP FOCUS
With the 2014 World Cup on the horizon, some players are trying to keep themselves together and not have many performances that can risk their chances on playing for their respective nation but the Australian player Tim Cahill stated that even though the World Cup is edging closer and closer, it will not stop him from performing at his highest level with his club New York Red Bulls.
CAHILL BACKS MOYES
Former Everton star Tim Cahill has come to the rescue of underfire manager David Moyes, who is struggling in his new job at Manchester United.
The Scot left Everton for United in the summer, but he was already facing a huge task up his sleeve because he needed to replace Sir Alex Ferguson – widely considered as one of the most successful managers of all time.
HIGHS AND LOWS
The season of NY Red Bulls experienced some highs and lows as they clinched the Supporters Shield but were later eliminated from the Play offs after losing 2-1 against Houston Dynamo in their home turf at the Red Bull Arena.
However the real shock of the match was Tim Cahill’s injury as he is not certain about playing with Australia in their next match against Costa Rica on November 19.
The former Everton midfielder will monitor the situation in the next few days before letting Postecoglou know if he'll be fit to join with the squad in Sydney.
CAHILL NOT INVOLVED
New York Red Bulls star player Tim Cahill has said that he will not be involved with the national team for the upcoming friendly match with Brazil. This is a very high profile friendly match for Australia, as they will be getting a taste of their World Cup opponents.
Brazil will be hosting the tournament and they have qualified as a result of it. Australia have been in a poor run of form in recent matches and they could have certainly done with the presence of the former Everton midfielder, who is known for his regular supply of goals from midfield.
CAHILL WANTS LOAN MOVE
New York Red Bulls midfielder Tim Cahill has said that he is willing to go out on a loan deal during the off-season in order to keep himself fit for the upcoming World Cup.
CAHILL NOT WORRIED
New York Red Bulls midfielder Tim Cahill has said that he was not worried about the lack of goals after arriving at the MLS club as one of the designated players.
Each club is allowed only two designated players and Cahill is one of them. Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry is the other designated player for New York Red Bulls. Cahill has gone through almost 20 matches without a goal, but he has said that the lack of regular goalscoring is not affecting him.
