Australian Dual Nationals 🇦🇺🏳️

Statements like his gives me some faith we can win the occasional superstar off a big nation. Hopefully arena feels aussie haha.

20-year-old Aussie in the Bundesliga dreams of Socceroos call but has played for Turkiye: 'Wow, do I wear both jerseys?!'

A World Cup in Australia often throws out fixtures with deep family connections and Socceroos v Turkiye has done exactly that.

Another example where we didn't keep in contact. We need to fix that.

Its baffling. If they are broke get volunteers to do it

I wonder if this World Cup is helping our cause to attract our dual nationals?

I really want to see Arena, G. Okon, Bennie, Memeti gradually introduced post World Cup.

Some details in here re Gianluca Okon

Paul Okon snr never graced a World Cup. His son made sure his name finally did

Paul Okon snr never got to play on the grandest stage in football. But his eldest son now has. His other boy, Gianluca, is bound for the big stage, too. Though it might not be for Australia.

Daniel Bennie and Medin Memeti definitely heading into the 2027 Asian Cup cycle along with maybe Gianluca Okon-Engstler.

Yeah. Adrian Segečić was in Croatia’s prelim squad but didn’t make the final cut.

I think so. The Iraqi-Aussie whose name escapes me didn't make the final squad. Does John Souttar count?

Peter Gwargis made Graham Arnold's preliminary Iraq playing list but not the final 26-player squad and John Souttar might count but Football Australia never came into contact with him.

Ali Auglah. But yeah I forgot about Lachie Bayliss and John Souttar.

Ali Auglah. But yeah I forgot about Lachie Bayliss and John Souttar.

Ali Auglah is another Australian dual international who has opted to represent Iraq and didn't make the final playing list either.

Yeah but he didn’t make it to the WC.

Can add Charbel Shamoon and Mohamed Al-Taay to that list as well

I wonder how Segecic would've fared against England?

This England team isn’t great thanks to Thomas Tuchel’s braindead picks so probably better than expected.
