The Socceroos are out to fulfil their own destiny over the next week in Qatar by converting all the gains of the past decade into a piece of silverware, writes Grandstand's Gerard Whateley.
Entering the knockout phase of the Asian Cup captain Lucas Neill articulated the motivation on behalf of the surviving members of Australia's golden generation.

It's important for the game in Australia that we continue to build momentum and winning the Asian Cup or being successful in a campaign keeps that momentum going.
I don't know how many years I have left in football but I have a genuine chance now - I'm two games away from playing in a final for my country and that's amazing.
