Travolta pays visit to Australia's World Cup team

Jun 11, 2010 - 7:11 PM MULDERSDRIFT, South Africa(AP) -- John Travolta showed off some of his dance moves in a visit to Australia's World Cup team Friday ahead of its opening game against Germany.

The movie star is an ambassador for one of the team's sponsors, Qantas, and dropped in on Australia's five-star resort lodge in Muldersdrift, 25 miles west of Johannesburg.

Midfielder Carl Valeri was thrilled with the visit, saying "I watch his movies and I love them. ... It's fantastic really."

Goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer said Travolta "wished us well," and called him "inspirational." Schwarzer said "you just have to look at how the guys were excited to get photos with him."

The Socceroos play Germany in Durban on Sunday. Serbia and Ghana are also in Group D.
