Young, exuberant and with talent to burn, a new-look Socceroos are ready for their own chance to shock the world.
Australia will kick off their World Cup campaign against Turkey on Saturday night (Sunday afternoon AEST) at Vancouver's BC Place.
The Socceroos are underdogs against the world No.22, whose captain Hakan Calhanoglu only on Friday said he expected Turkey to dominate as they are "more talented".
But Jackson Irvine believes there's no ceiling on this group, with 17 debutants and eight players under 23.
Attackers Nestory Irankunda, Mohamed Toure and Cristian Volpato are dynamic and Paul Okon-Engstler adds midfield drive.
Defender Alessandro Circati could be anything while 18-year-old centre-back Lucas Herrington is already attracting attention from Barcelona.
"The level of hype around this group has probably never been (this high). In my 10 to 12 years, I've never experienced what Mo and Nestor and Ale are probably having now," midfielder Jackson Irvine told AAP.
