The Australian national team has landed in Dallas ahead of their upcoming Round of 16 match against Egypt at the FIFA World Cup.
Following Japan's elimination by Brazil, the "Socceroos" remain the sole representative of the Asian Football Confederation still competing in the tournament.
The squad, led by Tony Popovic, secured their spot in the knockout stage by finishing second in Group G with four points. The Australians achieved a 2-0 victory over Turkey, suffered a 0-2 defeat to co-hosts USA, and drew 0-0 with Paraguay, which sealed their progression.
This Friday afternoon, Australia will aim to win their first-ever knockout stage match at a World Cup when they take on Egypt.
The winner of this clash will advance to the Round of 16, where they will face either Argentina or Cape Verde in Atlanta on July 7th.
