THE Socceroos say they've got a point to prove as they touched down in Uzbekistan this afternoon ahead of Wednesday night's vital match.
The 'Roos arrived in Tashkent for the crucial 2010 World Cup qualifier match against Uzbekistan.
While buoyed by their win against the Netherlands on Sunday morning, penalty hero Harry Kewell said the team will not be taking anything for granted.
“While it will be good to get off to a good start, the Uzbekistan team will have the same kind of plan,” Kewell said.
Uzbekistan played their first match in the qualifying round on Sunday against Qatar in Doha and were defeated 3-0. In the other group match, Japan defeated Bahrain 2-3 in Bahrain, with Qatar and Japan at the top of the group.
“We are going to go out there and show the rest world what we’re capable of doing,” Kewell said.
Australia need to finish in the top two of their group to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup at the completion of this round in June 2009.
The match will be broadcast live and exclusive on FOX Sports 3 from 1.30am on Thursday.
