FA Cup-bound Cahill flying the flag for Australia

Everton's Tim Cahill says he is flying the flag for Australia when he takes on Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday. The 29-year old has experienced the cup final before when at Millwall (losing to Manchester United in 2004) and is hoping this time with the Toffees it will be different.

"Every game I play in the Premier League I have got Australia behind me," Cahill said.

"The Premier League is the biggest thing in the world, the FA Cup final is one of the most prestigious cups in the world, and it's something I am passionate about because I watched it as a kid.

"I'm flying the flag (for Australia) but I'm just so proud to be in this situation."
