Australia coach Guus Hiddink believes Brazil will have to improve considerably in their coming matches if they are to successfully defend the World Cup.

Hiddink watched his Socceroos give the world's number one team a major fright in their Group F clash on Sunday as Brazil won 2-0 to qualify for the second round. The result leaves the Australians only needing a point from their final group game against Croatia in Stuttgart on Thursday to reach the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time.

And Hiddink claimed his team could take a lot of confidence from the way they performed against Brazil, saying his team had dominated the second half. He said: "To me Brazil were forced to play on the counter-attack in the second half and that is not what you would have expected against Australia. To me that is not the characteristic of a world champion (team)."
