Seemingly every game the Socceroos play, they're up against an opponent described as their nation's Maradona or Ronaldo.
Next up for the Socceroos is United Arab Emirates and its star Omar Abdulrahman in Tuesday night's semi-final in Newcastle.
"The Chinese had the Chinese Ronaldo, Maradona ... everyone has a Messi or Maradona," Postecoglou said wryly.
"(Abdulrahman) is a good player, so is (Ali) Mabkhout up front."
But Postecoglou said he concentrated on the collective threat, rather than individuals.
"They are a good side," he said of UAE.
"They are probably one of the few national teams in this region, and particularly the Middle East, who have been pretty stable in terms of their coach and their team.
"And they have benefited. They look more cohesive than some of the other sides that tend to chop and change a bit.
"That is where the danger lies, rather than with the individuals.
"I think, as you have seen this tournament, every team in Asia has technically gifted players.
"The ones who use them better are the ones who have a really cohesive team and I think UAE have one of those squads."
The Socceroos will put the finishing touches on their preparation with a light training session on Monday evening at the game venue.
Postecoglou declared every player in his squad fit and available, apart from Aston Villa defender Chris Herd who has returned to England for treatment on his tournament-ending Achilles injury.
