AUSTRALIA
With Australia's 2006 World Cup linchpin Mark Viduka in virtual retirement and lingering question marks over the Socceroos' firepower, Tim Cahill has found encouraging form ahead of South Africa with three goals from his last two starts for Everton in the Premier League.
Cahill, who became the first Australian to score a brace of goals at a World Cup during his match-winning performance against Japan in 2006, scored two during the Toffees' 2-2 draw against Aston Villa last Wednesday, then tapped in the third in Everton's 3-2 win over Blackburn Rovers at the weekend.
"We are thankful for any player who is in top form at this time," Bierhoff said. "I think we would not lose face if we re-thought certain things, in this case Kuranyi's past misconduct."
But the Brazil-born 28-year-old has set a personal goal record for a season, hitting 18 goals so far with three matches left, more than all of Low's first-choice Germany strikers (Miroslav Klose, Lukas Podolski and Mario Gomez) combined.
Teenage defender David Addy has made his debut for FC Porto, enhancing his chances of making Ghana's World Cup squad.
