Adam Casey is off to Japan

What a week for the boy from Weetangara Primary school in Canberra.

Canberra's Adam Casey has a two-year contract with Sydney FC.

On Wednesday he was on the bench for the Olyroos as they secured a crucial win against Iran.

This afternoon he flies out to Saitama, Japan to take part in Sydney FC's crucial do-or-die game against the mighty Urawa Reds.

Urawa Red Diamonds are possibly Asia's biggest club with over 60,000 expected at the game on Wednesday.

Casey told Football in the Capital, "Its a massive game. I've never played in front of such a large crowd and I'll be really nervous. But if I get on the park, my nerves will go, and I'll be totally focused on the game."
