Neill calls on fans to help get team on flight to Brazil Socceroos captain Lucas Neill has implored fans in Melbourne and Sydney to create an atmosphere that will lift Australia to victory in their final two World Cup qualification matches this month. Australia's hopes of featuring at the 2014 World Cup hinge on what happens in the next fortnight. The Socceroos will host Jordan at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday before finishing at ANZ Stadium against Iraq on June 18. Third in their group, the Socceroos must make the top two to automatically qualify for Brazil, with Japan having already booked their place. While Holger Osieck's side is two points behind Oman, it has a game in hand and, if it wins both matches at home, will finish second. Now Neill is calling on the fans to create a hostile atmosphere for both matches to intimidate the opposition. "What Australia needs to take out of this game, from a supporter point of view, is that when you get 70,000 people driving the team on, for 90 minutes, that proverbially sucks the ball into the back of the net, and that's what happened [for Japan]," he said. We need a big crowd, full of yellow and intimidating the other team. We weren't intimidated [by the crowd in Japan] but I know the teams we're going to come up against will be, and that drives us on. Goals become bigger goals, and it helps make moments in the game where you can put them under pressure. The Socceroos did remarkably well to block out the volume that enveloped Saitama Stadium on Tuesday night, where a wall of noise from the home fans threatened to become deafening every time they went near the goal. They kept the Japanese going all night, and we need the same. We need that crowd to play their part," Neill said. We had moments against Japan where we couldn't get the ball out of our own half for 25 minutes, and that was just the crowd egging them on. That crowd got the Japanese team the point they needed to get to the World Cup. That was in stark contrast to the dull atmosphere of Australia's most recent home match, a 2-2 draw with Oman in Sydney, where 34,000 fans showed up - perhaps indicating most fans believed the hosts would cruise to victory. "I suppose it's the problem of going to a big stadium and not filling it, or maybe we should go to a smaller stadium and fill it, or drop the ticket prices, I don't know," Neill said. If I could buy everyone's tickets to the games, I would.
