Socceroo Dario Vidosic has revealed his excitement at the prospect of facing the nation where he plies his trade at next year’s World Cup.The 22-year-old forward, who currently plays for German Bundesliga club FC Nurnberg, admitted on the club's official website he couldn't hide his excitement after Friday's World Cup draw pitted Australia against Germany.
"It's great! This is a big thing for us," Vidosic said.
"Of course the Germans are the favourites," he added. "It's a tough group, Ghana was undefeated in qualifying.
"But in 2006 we made the last sixteen, so we have much self-confidence and believe in our chances."
And the Aussie added he had pencilled in the June 13 date with Germany into his calendar, with an extra incentive.
"Maybe (we can beat Germany) and get revenge for 1974," Vidosic added.
The Socceroos faced East and West Germany in the 1974 World Cup group stage, with Australia losing both games.
