Beating Honduras will boost football in Australia, says Troisi

San Pedro Sula: James Troisi believes that qualifying for the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 would help improve football in Australia as the Socceroos prepare for the first leg of their Intercontinental Play-off with Honduras on Friday.

Troisi was part of the squad at Brazil 2014, coming off the bench twice as Australia exited at the group stage, but firmly made his mark on the national team the following year when he scored the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Korea Republic in the 2015 AFC Asian Cup final.

Australia have since stuttered on the Road to Russia, proving tough to beat but not posting enough wins; however, after overcoming Syria in the Continental Play-off, are now just two games away from progressing to their fourth successive FIFA World Cup.
