Schwarzer: Socceroos will be less of a shock
Mark Schwarzer believes Australia will no longer have the same element of surprise about them as they make their final preparations for the World Cup in South Africa.
The Fulham goalkeeper, who has more caps (73) than any other member of coach Pim Verbeek's preliminary 31-man squad, believes the Socceroos' performances at the last World Cup - where they reached the last 16 - will ensure far more attention is paid by rival nations this time around.
"We are more well-known now and teams won't underestimate us as much as they did last time," said Schwarzer.
