    With Australia's World Cup future on the line, coach Ange Postecoglou's confidence in his players is as strong as it has ever been.
    The Socceroos go into Wednesday night's sudden-death second-round tie with Honduras in the driving seat, having gained a 0-0 draw in San Pedro Sula on Saturday morning.

    Now the coach is expecting them to finish the job.

    Postecoglou is confident in his game plan which has, at times, been the subject of severe criticism, especially when the team failed to qualify directly from its Asian group.

    And he pledges to continue using the template he has sought to make synonymous with the Australian approach to football: a high-tempo, pressing style that takes the game to the opposition irrespective of the scoreline or the circumstances.

    "It all comes down to this last 24 hours ... the feeling within the camp is that we are ready for a big game and hopefully getting the job done," Postecoglou said at the match venue, Stadium Australia, on Tuesday afternoon.
