Oh man the memories
"You have to believe the lie!"
Even if we get grouped with zero points?
We demand an investigation into the replacement of referee Rafshan Irmatov and his departure at a difficult time in such an important match.

We ask for an examination of the grassland that was not suitable for the Syrian team, while Australian players seem to be wearing shoes that cling to the long grass, so we saw Syrian players fall during the game, while Australia's players are steady.

نطالب بفتح تحقيق حول تبديل حكم المباراة رافشان ايرماتوف وخروجه في وقت صعب من مباراة مهمة كهذه .
ونطالب بفحص ارضية الملعب العشبية التي لم تكن ملائمة للمنتخب السوري بينما يبدو ان لاعبي استراليا يرتدون احذية تتشبث بالعشب الطويل ، لهذا رأينا لاعبين منتخب سوريا يتساقطون خلال المباراة ،في حين لاعبي استراليا ثابتين.
Even if we get grouped with zero points at the World Cup the expectation is that Tony Popovic will immediately bounce back from a disastrous campaign and lead the Socceroos far into the Asian Cup, perhaps going all the way but definitely topping the group at least given how easy our opponents will be.

It does feel like there is a surge of young talent coming through who could push further than the last couple of generations. Is this a Bielsa in Chile moment where someone can take a talented generation, instill a mentality etc? Even if it is I wouldn't really trust anyone other than Bielsa or maybe Ange (no doubt there are others out there who I don't know about) to actually have the confidence to do it.
Whilst it's nice to have a start towards the next cycle the Asian Cup is an international tournament that we have a chance of actually winning. We should pick our strongest squad in this tournament (although the squad you suggested is a reasonably solid one and I think most of the players you mentioned will be there). I'm hoping that not all the experienced guys you left out will retire after the WC ande some of them will stick around to play a part (provided they maintain their fitness and form).
We should ideally be choosing the strongest possible Socceroos playing list for our 2027 Asian Cup campaign so we can capitalise on the opportunity we have to be going all the way in that tournament, and heading into the 2030 World Cup cycle we should be building on those foundations to improve the squad following the inevitable retirements of key players between now and then.
I'm only going with the article what is saying, they clearly want stability but at what cost?
I completely agree but would probably argue this world cup probably came way too soon. 2034 could possibly be the peak for a lot of these guys. If we are assuming prime as a footballer is from 27-32? A lot of water to pass before this of course.
It poses the question who are our next generation midfielders?
Robbo’s still only 23! I think it shows how bad losing Nektar and Sega was though.
Having watched Quintal this year at SFC & Segecic a couple of years ago, I think Quintal is the better player.
Better as in better ceiling? I hope so!
Could put Robertson and Leonard in those spots. I have no doubt there will be some new names emerge in that time too to displace some of those listed. We potentially have a very bright period for the national team ahead.
