ADELAIDE United gloveman Eugene Galekovic believes his Reds defence may have a huge say in whether he'll be at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
The Reds skipper was in e- boss Pim Verbeek's 2010 Socceroos World Cup 23-man squad in South Africa and won accolades from former Australia coach Holger Osieck before the German was fired in October.

But Galekovic sitting behind the A-League's leakiest defence (17 goals in nine matches) has caused the two-time goalkeeper of the year concern.
Galekovic's World Cup chances may also take another potential hit if Adelaide bows out of the finals race to make its home-and-away season end on April 11, 64 days before the Socceroos face Chile in its first Group B clash in Cuiaba on June 13.

"It's going to help (my Socceroos chances) if we make the finals and do well in the finals, " Galekovic said.
Eugene Galekovic's Socceroos hopes will be affected by Adelaide United's defence.
"But we're not going so well so we're going to have to change those results."
"I think the longer you play (the A-League season) those extra games are important."
But his immediate Socceroos World Cup squad competition - Matt Ryan, 21, (Club Brugge, Belgium) and Mitch Langerak, 25, (Borussia Dortmund, Germany) have had an easier life guarding goal for their clubs.
Ryan has copped 14 goals in 18 league matches for his second-placed Belgian club but Langerak has only started one Bundesliga match for the 2013 UEFA Champions League runner up.
The pair were named in new boss Ange Postecoglou's debut squad in a 1-0 win over Costa Rica last month where Ryan featured for the entire clash in Sydney.
Galekovic, 32, said he hasn't yet spoken to Postecoglou since the former Melbourne Victory coach won the Socceroos gig.
But Galekovic was hoping to be part of Postecoglou's plans in a Socceroos friendly in March where the Australians are expected to face South American opposition in Europe.
"I'm not sure (where I stand) I haven't really talked to the coach about that,'' Galekovic said.
"Obviously the next game is in March it's a long time away so the boys are going to have to wait to see who gets picked for that.
"But I think most boys will be doing the same thing play football and trying to play good football and give themselves a chance to play the friendly in March."
