Socceroos ready for Poland

The Socceroos showed some positive signs in attack in its opening game under new boss Holger Osieck but failed to convert in a 0-0 draw against Switzerland in St Gallen.

Socceroos spearhead Tim Cahill says the goals will come for the national team if it keeps on creating the same number of opportunities.

"Scotty (McDonald) missed chances, I missed chances, Bretto (Holman) missed chances but the main thing is we are backing each other and trying to make sure we create more chances and really penetrate teams," Cahill said.

Socceroos stalwart Brett Emerton said he enjoyed his first start in some time, having spent most of the opening three rounds of the English Premier League parked on Blackburn Rovers' bench.

The 31-year-old veteran of 76 internationals used all of his tricks to set up several of Australia's attacking raids at the AFG Arena.

"I think I am still enjoying my football and I love playing for the Aussie team," he said.

"To go out there and play with a smile on your face is not too difficult.

"I think there is both positives and a few negatives," he said.

"I think first half we created numerous chances but did not finish them but second half they probably had the better of the game and a we were a little bit suspect defensively.

"That is something we can work on."
