Mat Ryan isn’t dining out on his new-found status as the third Socceroos captain to salute at a World Cup.
He’s hungry for more.
Ryan joins Mark Viduka and Lucas Neill as Australians to captain the Socceroos to victory at the cup finals.
Viduka achieved the feat in 2006 and Neill in 2010, with Ryan now added to the list after Australia’s 1-0 win against Tunisia in Qatar on Saturday.
“It’s what dreams are made of, what unfolded here,” Ryan said.
“Just super-proud. A collective effort from the get-go.
“We just left it all out there on the park. That is the objective every game we play, but somehow we took it to another level.”
But Ryan said the message to the Socceroos was clear: the job isn’t done yet.
Defeat Denmark in their last group game and Ryan will likely join Neill as the only skipper to steer the Socceroos to the knockout phase.
“We are by no means satisfied with where we’re at,” he said.
“It’s a great feat what we have done but we’re hungry for more.”
