Arena story could be over before it started

Only time we won world class players was when capping them before their debut (kewell) or before they went overseas (viduka)

It is a shame that we are going to lose such a promising prospect like Antonio Arena but this should come as a wake-up call for Football Australia to sort out the selection policy especially in terms of locking in those world-class dual internationals early.

What’s the source for this? Is this Italy’s squad for the next international window?

Also remember he’s only locked after three competitive matches or one at a tournament. I.e. if we pick him for the World Cup squad and play him even for a second he’s locked to the Socceroos.

Sort of how I felt.

When Craig Johnston said at 17 years old that playing soccer for Australia was like surfing for England.
I still marveled at his achievements.
It was sort of understood, we were in the dark woods in the 70s & early 80s, but that changed in the late 80s & 90s with the likes of Slater, Kewell, Viduka, Okon, Zelich & the GG.
Now I sort of think yeah bugger them not interested.

Happy to be corrected outside of Christian Vieri, big loss, but was born in Italy & Josip Simunic, what other great players have we lost.
