Australia on Friday routed the Czech Republic 4-0 in a tune-up friendly ahead of the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup as ageing Tim Cahill continued to be embroiled in controversy. The game was played amid the controversy caused by the calling up of 38-year-old Aussie football great Tim Cahill to the Australia team's 26-man roster. Cahill's face is synonymous in Australia with Caltex, an international petroleum company and one of the main sponsors of the Australian soccer federation, reports Efe.
