Socceroos coach Tony Popovic stands with his arms folded at training.

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Four games. That's how many fixtures Tony Popovic has been allowed to coach in the five months since he took over as Socceroos manager. In the next week, he has two more against lowly Indonesia and China. They'll go a long way to deciding if he gets to take Australia to a FIFA World Cup. The squad he's picked to achieve that feat is full of curiosities, second chances and unknown quantities. The stakes feel high. Featured: Daniel Garb, football reporter, ABC Sport.
