Croatia v Australia - Starting Line-Ups - No Major Changes For Hiddink and Kranjcar in a Must Win Match for Croatia

Submitted by Pavlos Skoufis on Thu, 22/06/2006 - 19:13.

Croatia meet with Australia in a match which could give the winning team the ticket to the knockout stages of the 2006 World Cup.

Socceroos head coach Guus Hiddink has named FC Basel’s newly signed attacking midfielder Mile Sterjovski to start the match for Australia, with only Tony Popovic ruled-out after suffering a calf injury.

Australia only need a draw to win the match, while Croatia need to win in order to qualify.
