Brazil's Carlos Alberto Parreira and Australia's Guus Hiddink annouce the starting line-ups for the long awaited match between the two national football teams. Parreira starts with Ronaldo in the attacking front, while Hiddink left Bresciano, Skoko, Harry Kewell and John Aloisi on the Socceroos bench.

Australia coach Guus Hiddink has described the game against Brazil as Australia's "day of truth". Socceroos striker Jason Culina insists the Socceroos are not scared of Brazil and they will not be overawed at the prospect of facing the likes of Ronaldinho, Kaka, Adriano and Ronaldo.

Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira has expressed concern about the physical strengths of Australia, but is confident the Selecao’s passing and movement will persevere: "Australia are a very physical team but we are not going to fight with them.
