One player missing is Mark Viduka, who has seen a sad end to his remarkable career, suffering injury problems ... and looking as though he lives on a diet of pork pies and pizzas.
The fat man has disappeared from the scene, and Australia hoped Celtic striker Scott McDonald would fill his boots.
But that has been far from the case ... McDonald has failed to score for Australia in the 15 matches he has played for his country.
Australia squad:
Mark Schwarzer (Fulham), Brad Jones (Middlesbrough), Adam Federici (Reading); David Carney, Patrick Kisnorbo (Leeds United), Mark Milligan (Shanghai Shenua), Craig Moore (Brisbane Roar), Lucas Neill (Everton), Rhys Williams (Middlesbrough), Luke Wilkshire (Dinamo Moscow), Scott Chipperfield (Basel); Jason Culina (Gold Coast United), Brett Emerton (Blackburn Rovers), Brett Holman, Mile Jedinak (Antalyaspor), Harry Kewell (Galatasaray), Carl Valeri (Grosseto), Mark Bresciano (Palermo), Tim Cahill (Everton); Josh Kennedy (Nagoya Grampus) Bruce Djite (Genclerbirligi), Dario Vidosic (Nurnberg), Mile Sterjovski (Perth Glory).
