Socceroos seek to reward early risers in Australia with World Cup qualification

• Jackson Irvine hoping to inspire in win-or-bust playoff with Peru
• Trent Sainsbury skips training but Adam Taggart does light duties

Jackson Irvine hopes Australia can reward fans who get up early to watch their World Cup playoff against Peru and inspire the next generation of Socceroos' with victory. The one-off clash for a spot in the Qatar finals kicks off in Doha from 9pm on Monday, meaning fans in Australia will need to rise in the wee hours of Tuesday morning to catch the game on screens at 4am AEST.

It seems like a lifetime ago but in a different time that was me getting up and watching games in the morning," Irvine said in Doha. Hopefully the younger generation will be waking up and some future Socceroos can tell their own story about how they saw us qualify and come live it themselves."
