Clad in his latest Nike casual wear, Lucas sat down with us to discuss World Cup qualification, spiraling expectations from the Australian public and why he'd happily take on Italy at the World Cup, but be keen to avoid the English!

He also reflects on his time at West Ham and discusses returning to the A-League before it's too late.

Keep your eyes peeled for the interview appearing online at the end of the month too.
