year\u2019s World Cup 2022<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Australia top World Cup Golden Boot Contender &#8211;\u00a0 Jamie Maclaren<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The 29-year-old Maclaren has proven himself as the elite goalscorer of A-League football over the years, scoring 120 goals in 176 appearances in Australia. It&#8217;s a record that earned him a move to Europe, firstly with German side Darmstadt, and then in Scotland with Hibernian, where he experienced limited success. His return to Australia with Melbourne City showed his class, though, and, if he hits the ground running in Qatar, he could be an outside shout for an each way bet to win the Golden Boot.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Australia player to Watch &#8211; Riley McGree<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>McGree has accomplished quite a lot in a relatively short career so far. The 23 year old has played in Australia, Belgium, USA and England, as well as being nominated for the 2018 Fifa Puskas Award for his scorpion kick goal for Newcastle Jets. He&#8217;s impressed wherever he&#8217;s played and this has made him integral to Arnold&#8217;s plans, with the attack-minded midfielder earning nine caps for his country so far.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Australia emerging Player to Look Out For &#8211; Garang Kuol<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The 18 year old forward has taken the A-League by storm this season, scoring four goals in 12 appearances and doing enough to secure a move to Premier League side, Newcastle United, in January. Pace, power and unpredictability all his hallmarks and he could make a big impact off the bench for the Socceroos in Qatar.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Australia tactical analysis &amp; likely formation at the World Cup<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1287415 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-66x65.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-999x999.jpg 999w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-20x20.jpg 20w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1-330x330.jpg 330w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/08\/15133252\/1271219_1271219_Australia-World-Cup-Squad-copy-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Arnold prefers to operate quite defensively in a 4-1-4-1 formation, which allows Mooy to play just in front of the defence, offering protection defensively and the ability to transition quickly going forward. This affords a little more freedom to Irvine and Hrustic, who are box-to-box operators. The &#8216;wingers&#8217; play more defensively than most but they both have the ability to move quickly with the ball at their feet, allowing Australia to hit teams, dangerously, on the break.<\/p>\n<p>The flat back four isn&#8217;t likely to have much mobility and this provides much of the stability for the side. Behich and Atkinson won&#8217;t be expected to get forward too much, with Goodwin and Leckie tasked with providing much of the width. Maclaren is capable of getting on the end of crosses but not as adept as Duke, who should operate as a dangerous option off the bench.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/midnite?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1288274 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/11\/14135957\/1288270_1288270_midnite2020-v3.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"330\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Australia FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Where are Australia in the Fifa World Rankings?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span>Australia are currently 38th in the Fifa World Rankings, whilst their highest ever ranking was 14th in September 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who is the Australia manager?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span>Arnold was appointed as head coach in 2018 following a spell in charge of Sydney FC in the A-League.
