Viduka wants to lead Aussies into World Cup

MARK VIDUKA has pledged his future commitment to Australia and is determined to lead his country into the next World Cup finals.

Viduka has buried the hatchet with the Australian Soccer Association following the fall-out which occurred in the wake of his withdrawal from last month’s friendly game in Venezuela.

The ASA chose to invoke FIFA’s five-day rule against one of their top stars, resulting in Viduka missing a vital Barclaycard Premiership match for Leeds at Manchester United.
