Southampton's Japan defender Maya Yoshida is up for their clash today with Australia.
Yoshida, who opened the scoring in last Friday's 6-0 demolition of Honduras, concedes that the next fixture for Samurai Blue will provide a much more accurate picture of their current form.
"Australia will be much more difficult," he told the Japanese newspaper, Kyodo News. "[Tim] Cahill is the one of the most difficult strikers to play against in Asia. Physically he is very strong and is a great header of the ball.
"I think they will try and play long balls to him and pick up the second balls to shoot, but of course I am looking forward to playing against him."
