Bresciano, whose famous goal in the play-off against Uruguay in Sydney in November, 2005 was instrumental in getting the Socceroos to the 2006 World Cup where he was a regular member of the line-up, was surprisingly overlooked completely for the first game against Germany in South Africa when Australia was thrashed 4-0.

But he returned for the second game against Ghana where it was his free-kick that eventually resulted in Australia's only goal of the tournament so far - scored by Brett Holman on the rebound after Ghana keeper Richard Kingson failed to hold Bresciano's initial well-struck free-kick.

However even then the 30-year-old veteran of 56 caps was subbed off in the second half amidst rumours throughout this World Cup that all is not well between Bresciano and Verbeek.

And despite the unavailability of Harry Kewell for Wednesday's final group game against Serbia in Nelspruit - which the Socceroos must win to have any chance of advancing to the knockout stages and even then they will also have to wait on the result of the Ghana-Germany game - Bresciano is no certainty to start against Serbia.

There is a possibility that instead Verbeek could prefer Scott Chipperfield to Bresciano on the left side of midfield while David Carney, who looked shaky at left-back against Ghana, would remain on the left side of the back four.

However Bresciano still believes he is capable of playing a major role for Australia not just for the rest of the tournament in South Africa but also beyond this World Cup.

"I could probably still give more to the country," he said when asked about his future.

"It all depends on how the body pulls up but at the moment I am feeling good and there is no reason why I will stop (playing for Australia)."

Despite his lack of game time at this World Cup, Bresciano is adamant he did not fall out with Verbeek over his non-selection for the Germany game or being substituted in the Ghana game despite playing well.

"It's always disappointing for a player to get subbed when he still wants to play and he is still feeling good - that is a normal reaction from a player," Bresciano said

As for the rumours he and Verbeek have fallen out; Bresciano described the suggestion as "crap."

"It's all things made up," he said.

"Obviously you do get disappointed when you don't play - that is just normal for any player and I was disappointed but he gave me my chance (against Ghana) and hopefully I get another chance on Wednesday night (against Serbia)."
