SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia coach Ange Postecoglou says the Socceroos are sticking to their high-risk, high-reward game for their World Cup playoff against Syria despite it failing to secure a direct ticket to next year's finals in Russia.

After Australia's 2-0 loss to Japan and a laboured 2-1 win over Thailand, Postecoglou heads into the two-leg playoff under huge pressure but defiant that his highly criticized 3-2-4-1 formation will ultimately bear fruit.
