DONNING an away strip that the Socceroos will wear at the World Cup in just two months makes the dream feel all the more real for Tom Rogic.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder - currently on loan with the Melbourne Victory from Scottish champions Celtic - has the carrot of a World Cup berth ahead, but must first concentrate on Victory's trip to Japan to play Yokohama F. Marinos on Wednesday.
"It's hard not to have one eye on the World Cup," Rogic said.

"But I think for me, and the other Victory boys, it's most important just to focus on the games coming up in the A-League and the Asian Champions League and not get too caught up in what's going to happen in a couple of months.
"You have to ensure firstly that you're playing well and that you're fit and ready to go, then the rest will take care of itself."
Rogic has battled an ankle injury that kept him out of one match and a groin complaint that ruled him out of Saturday's draw against Sydney FC.
Victory physio Travis Maude keeps in almost weekly contact with his counterpart at Celtic to update his parent club on his progress.

While returning to Scotland and forcing his way into Celtic's starting line-up next season is a priority for Rogic, his first task is to finish a successful loan spell and slip from the Victory's blue jersey into the Socceroos' alternative strip.
These exclusive pictures reveal that, as in the previous two World Cups in Germany and South Africa, Australia's alternate strip will be predominantly dark obsidian blue.
But like the home kit that was worn for the first time in a friendly against Ecuador last month, the design has also been inspired by the 1974 strip worn by the Socceroos when they qualified for the first time.

Australia wore their blue away outfit in the 2006 World Cup against Brazil and in 2010 against Germany.
By the end of the month FIFA is expected to have decided what kits teams will wear in each of their group games, but it would be logical for the Socceroos to wear blue against the Netherlands given the Dutch home strip is orange.
Nike, in conjunction with Football Federation Australia, will officially launch the new strip on Wednesday morning.
