For the book
Max Vieri, the younger brother of Italy striker Christian Vieri, made his international debut for Australia against Turkey on Friday, giving the siblings a rare place in soccer history. Striker Vieri was not in the starting line-up for the friendly, which Australia lost 1-3, but got his chance at halftime when he replaced Scott Chipperfield.
