Nugget: Now Crowy, as you are no doubt well aware, World Youth Day is next month, with young Christians from all over the world set to converge on Sydney, the German bloke who lives in the Vatican and wears a pointy hat will be there and there is a hot rumour that the big dog himself “JC” might put in an appearance.

But walking on water and loaves and fishes aside, if he can't make it, I reckon there is another bloke who can show up, the real Miracle Worker, his holiness “Aussie” Guus Hiddink.

Crow Boy: Yes, our Guus has been extending his heeling hands to those in need, first he took the Dutch to fourth in the 1998 World Cup, then the South Koreans to the same in 2002, the Socceroos made the second round of the World Cup, and now Russia into the Euro 2008 semis. The man’s achieved more resurrections than Hugh Heffner.

N: It is no doubt an impressive resume, but let’s be honest, despite his many achievements, they are still confined to the world of soccer. If a yellow sack of meat like Mark Viduka can rise to the levels of the round ball game that he can skipper this great brown land to a World Cup, perhaps it’s not that tough. Surely a man of Guus’s undeniable skills is in serious need of a real challenge.

CB: Yep, it’s about time we upped the ante on Guus. I say we let him loose on Benny Ikin and see if he can mould the granny-glasses-wearing commentator into an individual who is able to open his eyes and speak in coherent sentences at the same time.

N: Whoa, hold on tiger, while he did get us to the World Cup for the first time in 32 years, he is only human, to make Ben Ikin behave and broadcast in any other manner than that of a confused labrador is too much for any one man to handle.

I feel like we need to start Guus off on something a little less challenging, perhaps convincing Chris Guccione to take up something that all rangas are good at ... once it is discovered.

CB: Mmmm, yes, another difficult task. Poor old Fanta pants Guch, he’s borrowed the Wayne Arthurs game plan. I’d also like Guus to tackle the Craig Gower belt. For years it’s been buckling under the pressure.

N: The main issue that Guus will have to tackle with the Gower belt is a feeling of abandonment, that leather strap is often the only thing between the good people of the community and a sight worse than a West German swimsuit calendar in the mid ’70s.

I would like to see the great man do some work with another famous pants man in the shape of Wayne “The Duck” Carey. If Guus can get “The Duck” into a hot tub, on his own and wearing at least a Speedo, the world will be a safer place, not to mention the sizable drop in Wayne’s chlorine bills.

CB: If Hiddink got cold in the spa, would he have Guusbumps? I’m sure the master would also get The Duck involved in some amateur theatre, undertaking some lines of a new variety.

But there’s one team who could do with a healthy dose of support, and that’s St Kilda. In recent years they’ve had almost as much talent as Mark Philippoussis, although unlike the Poo, the Saints have never been able to seal the deal.

N: The Saints could benefit form the Miracle Man’s input like few others. The similarities between the Saints and the Socceroos are more than just passing.

Both have a horde of fair-weather fans whose allegiances are at their greatest when things are going well, they have a good season every four years and after a stint working with Mark Viduka, Guus is well versed in the challenges of an overpaid, largely useless forward whose appeal is as mysterious as his lack of goals, so the Reiwoldt/Hiddink marriage should be a happy one.

CB: While the Guus-Ship Lollipop is touring struggling team, I’m sure he could pop his head in the door at South Sydney. Not even the gladiator himself has been able to inspire the Bunnies, who seem to have the venom and intestinal fortitude of Noni Hazelhurst during a scrapbooking convention.

N: The NRL club would offer an enormous challenge to the great man, so much so he may need some assistance from Rusty Crowe, the very sight of Guus in a red and green track suit and the Oscar winner with nothing more than sword, sandals and the order to ’unleash hell’ would be enough to whip the Bunnies into a frenzy that not even a healthy dose of myxomotosis could solve.

Do we dare challenge Guus with possibly the toughest ask in Australian sport, stuff the World Cup, could Guus make a man out of Shane Watson?

CB: Some things are even beyond the great Guusto.
