James Troisi (1 start, 2 substitute appearances) – 7: Mercurial midfielder Troisi loves a big goal. He found the winner late in extra time at the 2015 Asian Cup final, scored against Germany later that year and in Russia he beat Claudio Bravo for Australia to take the lead against Chile. Troisi created opportunities in his other appearances, without being outstanding. A solid tournament from the 28-year-old.

Tim Cahill (1 start, 2 substitute appearance) – 6.5: In the lead-up to his 100th national team cap, Cahill made consecutive late substitute appearances against Germany and Cameroon, but failed to make an impact on either. In his century game, Cahill started and wore the captain’s armband. While his footballing impact was again limited, the Socceroos talisman was a potent leader on the field, willing his team forward whenever their heads dropped. Cahill might no longer be the same attacking threat for Australia, but he remains an important figure within the camp.

Tom Rogic

Tom Rogic (2 starts) – 6.5: Celtic playmaker Rogic was anonymous until the 41st minute of the opening game with Germany, when he scored from long range with a crisp strike. While he came alive in the second half, Rogic then went missing again against Cameroon and was rested for the Chile game. In Rogic’s defence, he is often reliant on his team-mates creating the space and opportunities for him to wreak havoc. But for too much of the Confederations Cup Rogic was a bystander, when Australia needed him to step up.

Aaron Mooy (2 starts) – 5.5: Despite starring for Huddersfield Town in the English Championship this season, Mooy had an underwhelming Confederations Cup. Postecoglou started the 26-year-old too high against Germany, and his discomfort showed. He improved in a deeper-lying role during the draw with Cameroon, but was again far from convincing. Mooy looked fatigued and may have been feeling the effects of Huddersfield’s successful run to the play-off finals.

Aaron Mooy

Massimo Luongo (2 starts) – 7: QPR midfielder Luongo had a tournament of contrast. Against Germany, he was the worst Australian player on the pitch. He conceded a penalty, and had woefully misplaced passing. Mercifully, Postecoglou withdrew him at half time. After sitting out the match with Cameroon, Luongo returned in incredible style, and was one of the Socceroos’ best players in the encounter with Chile. His dynamism in the midfield was stellar and he drove Australia forward.

Jackson Irvine (1 start, 1 substitute appearance) – 7: Irvine, who enjoyed a strong club campaign this season with Burton Albion, was absent from game one and a late substitute in game two. But given a starting spot against Chile, the long-haired 24-year-old was superb alongside midfield partner Luongo. Irvine was a constant presence, measured in moving the ball forward and swift in dispossessing his South American counterparts.
