The six days between group games may have given the Socceroos time to regroup following the 4-0 mauling they received from the three-time champions.

It has also given under siege coach Pim Verbeek time to re-adjust his line-up after his controversial team selections against Germany backfired spectacularly in Durban.

But for Moore, the wait between games is just far too long.

"The next game for us can't come quick enough," the Socceroos' most experienced player said.

A win is vital against Ghana, who beat Serbia 1-0 in their opening match, to keep alive the Socceroos' hopes of making it to the knockout stages alive.

And Moore believes that pressure will help the team mentally, adding the team was used to pressure situations.

"There is always pressure," he said. "There was pressure on us to qualify for the World Cup and every game brings its own pressures.

"The first game there was pressure because you wanted to get off to a good start but now we haven't got off to a good start, there is a lot more pressure on us in this game because we know if we don't get three points we are out of the tournament.

"You try and prepare as best you can and the work goes on in on the training ground and hopefully when you cross that white line, things come together and you get the right result."

Moore refused to be drawn into criticism of Verbeek, who left out experienced trio Harry Kewell, Josh Kennedy and Mark Bresciano in the first game and played Jason Culina, Tim Cahill and Richard Garcia in positions they don't usually play in.

"Everybody knew their positions," he said. "Jason has played out on the left before - he played there in the first game of the last World Cup - and Richard has played up front.

"Maybe players weren't playing in the positions they had played in previous games, and the formation was a bit different, but it certainly wasn't unfamiliar."

Moore refused to compare Verbeek's coaching to that of fellow Dutchman Guus Hiddink, who led Australia to the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time four years ago.

But he maintained Verbeek had done a good job during his two and a half years in charge of the national team.

"We are not going to point fingers at anyone for the loss - it's just as a team we just didn't perform well on the day," he said.

"The influence of the coach has been fantastic, he had an exceptional record in Australia in qualifying us for the World Cup.

"(The criticism of Verbeek) is coming on the back of one poor performance - a 4-0 defeat to Germany - which is hard to take, but now we move on to the next game."
