SYDNEY (Reuters) - Patrick Kluivert has promised some surprises from his Indonesia team when they take on Australia in Thursday's World Cup qualifier, despite only having had a couple of training sessions with his squad since taking over as coach in January.
The former Netherlands and Barcelona striker has been handed the mission of taking Indonesia to the World Cup finals for the first time since 1938 and Thursday's clash in Sydney could be crucial to those hopes.
