If the football gods offered the Socceroos a draw in Sunday's World Cup opener against Germany they would snap it up right now.
"Yes, we would take it," Australian captain Lucas Neill said without hesitation when the proposition was put to him.
"A draw would be a fantastic result.
"Germany are a superior team to Australia.
"Clearly they are favourites and we have the underdogs tag.
"Their record suggests they are the most consistent team in world football, and the pressure is on them to win.
"Nobody in the world, apart from our team, expects us to beat them."
As the Socceroos enjoyed their first full day relaxing at their new camp, the luxurious Kloofzicht game lodge 50 kilometres outside Johannesburg, Neill said it was important not to lose Sunday's first game in Durban.
"If we draw it means other results can go for us and against us and we've still got everything in our own hands," he said.
"If we manage to win, we will shock the world."
Midfielder Mark Bresciano was quick to agree with his captain.
"Yes, yes, I would definitely take it (a draw)," he said.
