SPO:Young Socceroos can shock world again: veteran attacker

Mathew Leckie has been a part of a team that shocked the world once and with the likes of Nestory Irankunda and Cristian Volpato involved, has every reason to believe a young Socceroos outfit can do even better.

The veteran, who famously scored the winner over Denmark that sent Australia to the round of 16 in Qatar, is heading to his fourth World Cup.

Australia are in Group D and will play Turkey in Vancouver on June 14, the United States in Seattle six days later then Paraguay in Santa Clara on June 26 (all dates AEST).

The Socceroos are again underdogs but Leckie believes they can still do something special.

"The belief's always been there, I think it's a big driver in what we do," Leckie said.
