Brisbane Roar winger Tommy Oar was playing down his impressive international debut last night.

The 18-year old was brilliant for the Socceroos in their 1-0 Asian Cup win over Indonesia but preferred to not get too caught up in all the attention his debut showing has brought his way.

"Not at all," Oar said to calls of him being a certain squad member for the World Cup.

"I've only played in 20-odd A-League games and one game for Australia, so there is no need to get ahead of myself.

"I don't think things can happen too fast, but they can turn around really quickly, so I've got to keep working hard and make sure it doesn't stop ... because one injury or a couple of bad performances and everything will turn around."

And there are the comparisons to Australia national team star Harry Kewell, which Oar dismissed straight away.

"I think that's very premature to be honest," he laughed.

"When he was my age he was playing against Manchester United, not Indonesia - that speaks for itself.

"The Harry Kewell comparisons aren't really coming from the people whose opinions I really look at like Pim and Ange (club coach Ange Postecoglou), so I'm not too fazed by that kind of stuff."
