Has anyone thought that this has actually been in the pipeline for quite a while? He's had to go back to Sydney to sort out Passport issues (which can take weeks if not months)& he's also had to sort out his eligibility with FIFA & the Italian football federation. I'd say that he was omitted...

I thought Okon Jr was very good when he came on yesterday & Herrington showed why he'll be in the Socceroos squad for the next 3 WCs at a minimum.

He had a massive growth spurt after heading to Italy apparently. Yeah he's 6 2 & has great feet

Great to see that Volpato is now listed as Australian on FotMob

That's football mate, we had McGree in our team until last week, until the football gods fucked us over.

Literally can't believe this shit after losing McGree!!! Robertson is the perfect replacement. So does that mean that the players released are definitely out of contention for the final squad? Nestory was playing central for Watford during the season, could he slot in there?

Yeah I know mate, but what the fuck does a player's political views have anything to do with their desire to play for a certain country. And the discussion turned down the path of Left v Right, so has nothing to do with football at all.

Let's stick to the frign football & fuck this political discussion out hey?!!!!

Just come home Joe

Not sure if this was mentioned - Antonio Arena came off the bench & played 26 mins for Roma this morning. Football Australia needs to do everything possible to ensure we don't lose this kid to Italy

If you recall, when Deni Juric was banging in goals for fun 5/ 6 yrs ago, he declared for Croatia & then only scored 3 goals in the next 4 yrs!! Luckily for him, he's starting to score a few at exactly the right time & when we're looking for a number 9 to replace Mitch Duke.

Just had a look at Triantis stats for the season & they're nothing to write home about - I'd pick Robertson over him all day every day. There was no guarantee that he was making the WC squad with Irvine, O'Neill, Ballard, Yazbek, Robertson, Devlin ahead of him. Segecic had more of a chance, but...

Anyone know when the squad will be announced?

Does anyone know what is happening with Elder? He hasn't played the last 3/4 games & he's not listed as injured

Hopefully Volpato, but it was never Sega's spot anyway. He hasn't been starting & his hot streak was a while ago. We're going to be fucked if Mo Toure isn't fit for the WC, but it looks like he's returning in April. Fingers crossed. Jordy Bos could also do a job on the wing for us & play Aziz or...
