Garang Kuol has been named amongst the substitutes for Australia's final game of the World Cup group stages. The young Newcastle United striker came off the bench against France in the Socceroos opening game of the group but was an unused substitute for the win over Tunisia.
Graham Arnold's side can qualify for the knockout stages of the tournament with a point, if Tunisia fail to beat France in their final Group D game. The Socceroos will take on Denmark for a place in the last 16 with kick-off at 3pm this afternoon.
Kuol is yet to start for his country at the competition, which should come as no surprise given he's not made a single start for his current club Central Coast Mariners this season, despite being in rich form when he has played.

In just 60 minutes of football this month across two sub appearances, Kuol has netted twice and found two assists after coming on later into the match - something we could see Socceroos boss Arnold if they need to chase the game.
