CAHILL ON DUTY?

Tim Cahill is keen on playing for Australia in their forthcoming World Cup qualifier.

The Socceroos take on Qatar in Melbourne on February 6. Everton face Blackburn at Ewood Park on February 2 and host Reading on February 9.

Cahill, who won a landmark case to represent Australia having turned out for Samoa's under 20s in his youth, understands the viewpoints of both his club and his country.

"I'm available for Australia any time," Cahill told Sydney radio station 2KY.

"I fought so hard in court cases and things to play for Australia.

"I'm not all of a sudden going to turn around and say I don't want to play for Australia."

The Toffees' free-scoring midfielder said he and new Australia boss Pim Verbeek had met with Goodison chief David Moyes.

"I've had a meeting with Pim and David Moyes and I think it just comes down to common sense with Pim and common sense with Moyes," Cahill said.

"But he (Verbeek) knows he's got my 100 per cent backing and that's the main thing."
