To see the 'Roos meet the Granville youngsters...

Australia head into Wednesday's clash on top of AFC group A qualifiers with 10 points from four matches.

Uzbekistan were bottom of the five-team group, with just one point from their first four games but a win against Qatar overnight will have re-invigorated their faltering campaign.

Either way, Neill is wary of a side he says are technically gifted.

"They'll come here like it's a World Cup final," he said. "And with a win against Qatar, they are well and truly back into contention to qualify.

"For us, I'm not worried how many goals, how we please the crowd, the best way to entertain and please you is to tell you we're in the World Cup.

"The only way is to get points, it doesn't matter how we do that. You can criticise the players and the team but ultimately we're undefeated after four games and we're possibly one win away from the World Cup.

"We're not here to be entertainers, that [to entertain] is a bonus."

However, star man Harry Kewell suggested that while the Uzbeks are technically gifted they may lack mental fortitude and he's hoping the Socceroos with a full strength squad can exploit that.

"They are a very talented team, they are very technical," he said. "The only thing they probably do lack is a little bit of belief, that only comes from experience."

The pair were on hand today at a local junior football club to help launch the Australian Football Awards. The aim is to recognise players from a professional and non-professional level. 

It's been one of a number of events the Socceroos have attended this week. Neill described 's preparations as "slow and inconsistent" with a busy PR schedule of appearances built into this week but he says as of this weekend, the Socceroos will be firmly focused on the job at hand.

He added: "Now that's all going to stop and we can focus solely on the game which is obviously why we're here.

"But the best way to raise the profile of the game in this country is to win a game that could possibly take us to South Africa."

Quizzed on whether the relaxed week will work in Australia's favour, he replied, "I'll tell you next Wednesday."

FFA officials are hopeful of a crowd of around 50,000-60,000 fans for the game but urged as many supporters to turn up to make ANZ Stadium a green and gold cauldron.

"They can be our 12th man," said FFA CEO Ben Buckley.
