If they where born her and followed the Socceroos like you are so sure of, they wouldn't need to come here from anywhere, they would already be here. Question is why leave AUSTRALIA so young if the dream is the Socceroos?
Lucas Bergvall left Sweden at 18 to move to England. Why did he leave Sweden so young if the dream he successfully fulfilled was to play for Sweden? Perhaps because the best leagues in the world were outside his country?

I doubt any player is going over to England thinking they’d make the Three Lions squad. Generally the good players already get capped for our youth teams while here anyway.

18 isn't young mate. And most of the Sweden squad plays in overseas leagues because the level of footballers they produce makes competition for spots on the national team that much harder to get... A good Aussie kid can play in the Aleague all their lives and get called up, they don't need to go overseas to earn a spot.

Realistically that wouldn’t be the case though. How many A-League players do YOU think are good enough for the Socceroos? Then look at their ages. Had we not have bias here there’s no way Mat Leckie would get picked, for example.

Also, they get paid more by overseas clubs. Why would they stay at home when they can get a bigger pay check overseas playing against the best players in the world?

Beggars cant be choosers. We only have one player in a top 5 league and he has only played 2 matches.
 
Circati/Bos/Metcalfe plus Volpato.
Metcalfe Must get away from his current club, must.
Irakunda/Souttar be nice they get to better clubs due to WC scouting currently fingers crossed.
They are worthy stepping up but likely bench first up.

Overall with Mono.
