Everton midfielder Tim Cahill was the first Australian to score a goal in the World Cup finals and is now doing his level best to make sure his country host football's global showpiece for the first time in 2022.
Cahill, who starred for Australia in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, is part of Australia's official delegation in Zurich ahead of Thursday's crucial decision and told CNN that earning the right would be a "dream come true."
Cahill and fellow English Premier League star Lucas Neill have joined actress Elle McPherson and film director Phillip Noyce in promoting Australia's 2022 cause.
"We have held some of the biggest events on the planet like the Olympics and the Rugby World Cup and to share Australia with the world would be pretty special," he said.
