Bell's Viking team mate Daggers gets a Socceroos start in chilly Denver.

Australia on a 12 match unbeaten streak. They are in battle to get a rankings boost and land in Pot 2 for the WC draw in December.

FA still haven't confirmed Socceroos opponents for the November window, where they are trying to secure 2 home games. Apparently they wanted Bielsa's Uruguay as a 20 year anniversary of famous 2005 WC qualification playoff win in Sydney. But the Uruguayans wanted a $4M appearance fee.

Australia secured a seventh straight victory when Nestory Irankunda’s goal was enough to snatch a 1-0 win over Canada last Saturday and are now in line to rise to world No 24 when the Fifa rankings are next updated on 23 October.

The Socceroos are unbeaten in their past 12 matches – including all 11 played since Popovic took the reins a year ago – while the projected rankings would place Australia in pot 2 of the draw for next year’s World Cup.

Little separates the world No 22-25, South Korea, Ecuador, Australia and Austria, as the teams battle for a ranking that would theoretically help them avoid a tougher opponent than if they were to land in pot 3 for the draw on 6 December (AEDT).
