Vidmar unwilling to comment on Socceroos job
Aurelio Vidmar has declined the chance to express his interest in the Australia job after taking charge for a 3-0 win over Canada.
Vidmar stepped in following the dismissal of Holger Osieck on Friday, with the German sacked just hours after Australia were thrashed 6-0 by France in Paris.

Veteran midfielder Mark Bresciano also chose not to endorse FFA's decision to seek to appoint an Australian.
"I don't have much to say there," he said.
"I just hope that the next coach that comes in can do a good job for us. Not to rush and just to choose the right one."
