The undefeated Aussies are enjoying the bonus of a rare week-long training camp for next Wednesday’s top-versus-bottom Asian qualifier in Sydney.

Uzbekistan, meanwhile, must play Qatar at home this weekend, then make the long flight to Australia and hope to find their feet quickly, AAP reported.

It’s the sort of rush job Australian teams have had to endure for decades.

They know how difficult it can be, so they plan to put Uzbekistan to the sword and hopefully become the first nation to qualify for next year’s finals in South Africa.

"It’s going to be tough for them with the time difference, jet lag and so on, especially after we’ve had a week here before the game," said Swiss-based defender Scott Chipperfield.

"We’ve been in that situation," said midfielder Jason Culina, soon to move from Holland to the Gold Coast.

"It’s not nice, but that’s the way football is.

"We’ve got time to prepare, get over the jet lag and get used to the conditions.

"It’s a situation where we can play our best football, and I’m sure we will show that next Wednesday."

"We’ve definitely got the better preparation," said Russian-based midfielder Luke Wilkshire.

"A week together in camp is the most we’ve had for many a game.”

The Socceroos are also looking forward to unleashing an all-out attack against Uzbekistan after some cautious if valuable performances away from home - a fortunate 1-0 win in Bahrain last November and a dour 0-0 draw in Japan last month.

"We played a very professional game in Japan and got the point we wanted," said Culina.

"Now it’s time for us to step it up a bit.

"We can play more attacking football, a brand of football that we prefer to play.

"We’ve shown in the past we can score many goals, especially here at home."

Some of his teammates, however, are not so fussed over how the results come.

"As long as we get the results I don’t think anyone cares," said German-based striker Josh Kennedy.

Kennedy is battling for a forward berth against Scott McDonald, Bruce Djite and Harry Kewell, depending on how coach Pim Verbeek plans to use Kewell.

"Attacking football is one thing but the most important thing is to play winning football," said Wilkshire.

Culina is not even contemplating defeat.

"In my mind I think it’s going to be a win," he declared.

"They’ve got to worry about us rather than us worry about them.

"As far as I’m concerned it’s going to be a game we will win quite comfortably."
