Australia left-back Jason Davidson had this to offer ahead of today's encounter (via Soccer News): "Football's governed by results. People remember at the end of the day what you did with results and points. It was a step in the right direction at the World Cup, but now we have two games coming up and we have an opportunity to change that and start getting some results our way now."
"It's very important we start working towards the Asian Cup with these games," he added. "We can't take them lightly. We have to work hard and try and get a result. It starts with Belgium, and I'm sure the boys will be eager to come into camp and work hard and on Thursday to get a result."
