New Delhi, Mar 11 (PTI) Australia coach Ric Charlesrworth is pleased with his side''s semifinal win over the Netherlands but said they have to play better to beat nemesis Germany in the World Cup final here on Saturday. With just three players from the 2006 World Cup winning squad in their ranks, Germany are a new look team but Charlesworth said they are always a difficult bunch to beat. "This German squad is different (from 2006). But whatever squad they came with they have always been tough customers. Germans always play consistent game. "Everybody talked about German defence but they have also very good forwards," he said of the Germans against whom Australia had lost 2002 and 2006 World Cup final. "We played a good game today. We made a lot of chances though not solid as we can be. We are a good side and we have quality. "We can play better and we have some of their chinks in mind. It will be a tough match on Saturday and we want to win," said Charlesworth who had won the World Cup in 1986 in London. Star player Jamie Dwyer said his side wants to change the losing streak in the two World Cup finals -- in 2002 and 2006 -- against the Germans. More PTI PDS AT
