Sydney FC have cashed in on the remarkable rise of Hayden Matthews, selling the Socceroos centre back to English Championship club Portsmouth for a club record fee.

Australia are yet to compete in an ASEAN Championship although Tony Popovic is hoping that will change.

Tony Popovic has thrown down the gauntlet to Daniel Arzani and other Socceroos hopefuls, declaring that only those who can raise their game to an elite level will "survive."
