Cahill packs a punch
Australia's top ever international scorer Tim Cahill is a box-to-box midfielder with an eye for the goal and an eye-catching trademark goal celebration of boxing the corner flag. He scored Australia's first World Cup goal as he hauled them from behind against Japan in their 2006 opener, a 3-1 victory that propelled the Socceroos toward the second round. Cahill would score another World Cup goal in 2010 in a 2-1 win over Serbia, but he had already been sent off early in the 4-0 mauling by Germany, thereby missing the tie against Ghana as Australia failed to make the second-round cut. From Sydney with European and Samoan roots he is now 34 years old and has traded his career club Everton for New York Red Bulls, where last season he scored a goal after just seven seconds in a Major League game.
