Australian Joey Danai Gapare talks to Football in the Capital.

Danai is a winger with pace and skill. He has travelled to many countries including Scotland and Zimbabwe, but he found Japan very different.

"It was really hot, very different culture and different language. It was good to see how the country was," said Danai.

Danai played against Japan, USA (full game) and against Korea.

Did you score?

"No, I set up Stevie (Domenici) twice." smiled Danai.

Did you tell him after?

"Yeah,"

Often?

"Yeah often," he laughed.

Danai admires Thierry Henry and would love to play professionally.

Danai attends Deakin High, in Canberra. And his goals are clear.

"I want to stay in the squad and go to the (World Cup) qualifiers in Singapore in October."

He found the attention of being a Joey interesting to say the least.

"We were asked to sign stuff. A lot of stuff."

Like what?

"Shirts, scarves, books"

How did that feel?

"It felt sick, really sick," laughed Danai.

Here's hoping it's the start of many autograph moments for Danai and his Joey mates.
