The Caltex Socceroos are in the final stages of their preparations for tonight’s 2018 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers – Asian Play-off match against Syria at Stadium Australia in Sydney. 

Earlier this afternoon the squad undertook its traditional match day team walk through Sydney Olympic Park. 

Following the walk Wollongong-born defender Matthew Jurman, who made his Caltex Socceroos debut in Malaysia last week, spoke with FFA TV.

The former Sydney FC and Brisbane Roar defender, who now plays in Korea Republic with Suwon Samsung Bluewings, could feature for Australia in front of a raft of family and friends at Stadium Australia this evening.

Below are links to download video overlay from today’s team walk, as well as interview vision with Jurman.
