Jets coach Ash Wilson hopes Newcastle can harness the Socceroos' success by attracting a large and hostile home crowd for their A-League Women's clash with Perth at No.2 Sportsground on Saturday afternoon.
Football fever has swept across the nation since Australia set up this Sunday morning's round-of-16 showdown with Lionel Messi's Argentina at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and Wilson believes it can have a flow-on effect for the Jets.
