Unfazed by being written off by Turkey captain Hakan Calhanoglu, Socceroos coach Tony Popovic has urged his charges to "spoil the party" and show the world what they can do.
The Socceroos open their World Cup campaign against the world No.22, who have qualified for their first finals since 2002, at Vancouver's BC Place on Saturday (Sunday AEST).
When asked about Australia at training on Friday, Calhanoglu declared he expected a "more talented" Turkey to dominate the clash.
"Of course, our coach analysed them with us together," Inter Milan defender Calhanoglu told media in Vancouver.
"So we know that they're a physical team, that they're good at the corner kicks and on the free kicks because they are tall and strong.
