SOUNDBITE (English) Angelos "Ange" Postecoglou, Australia coach:

"Well, look, I mean, I don't know if it's a 'high', I mean we're obviously... we're extremely pleased with the way the Asian Cup went and extremely pleased obviously to have won the tournament on home soil and you know, I thought our performances were really consistent throughout it, but you move on pretty quickly in football and all the boys have been back at their clubs and sort of been getting stuck into their club football... We know that there is World Cup qualification on the horizon and you know, it's a great fixture for us to really measure ourselves and another great test for a lot of the players in this group. Look, you feel good about what's happened, but for the most part, we've moved on from it."

SOUNDBITE (English) Mile Jedinak, Australia captain:

"Yeah, it's a great game to be involved in. I think to be given the opportunity to play the world champions in their own backyard is... we all know it's going to be a mammoth task, but once again, just reiterating what the boss has said, it's a good measuring stick to see where we're at. If you want to be the best, you have to play the best and it's great that we've been given this opportunity, but I think for us as a group, it goes on further to... you want to keep building and you want to try and take the team to the next level and a game like this will stand us in good stead for that."
