Schwarzer hoping Australia can bounce back

Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer says it is up to the experienced players in the squad to ensure morale remains high in the wake of the 4-0 thrashing by Germany in their opening group game.

The Socceroos, who returned to their Johannesburg base from Durban immediately after Sunday night’s defeat, have only a few days to regroup before their next clash against Ghana in Rustenberg on Saturday.
