SYDNEY, Australia — Tim Cahill has been included in Australia’s provisional squad for this year’s World Cup in Russia, boosting his prospects of being selected for a fourth World Cup. “He is a special case … he is special in everything,” van Marwijk said. The teenage winger, who is also eligible to play for Iran, could become the youngest Australian to play at a World Cup if he makes the final cut. Van Marwijk said Karacic was picked because Australia has a shortage of quality right backs. “Everybody knows that the right defending position, I don’t have a lot of choice for that position,” van Marwijk said.
