'The return of Tim Cahill is the big, scary thing about Australia'

Tomorrow, South Korea have the chance to end a 55-year wait for glory in the AFC Asian Cup when they take on rivals Australia in the final.

The Taeguk Warriors have won every game at the tournament so far without conceding a goal - including against the Socceroos in the final group stage match.
