Midfielder Tim Cahill is pleased with Australia's World Cup preparations ahead of their opening game against Germany in Durban.

Australia are still in the midst of the physical conditioning stage of their preparation having arrived in South Africa just over a week ago following a win over Denmark.

"We're happy, we've trained really hard the last seven days and it's all about making sure that we have some nice fluent football and that we play well. It's always nice to get a good result, but I think everyone has come off feeling really well," Cahill said reflecting on the Denmark game.
