Probably the best possible squad to wake up to. Glad Devlin stayed in as well as Yengi. Hopefully we bring the energy and mindset of the 2nd half against Mexico to each game now but from the first minute (little bit wishful with popa-ball)

Bring on Nestory!!

Has O'Neill ever played a forward pass?

I agree, if he drops Devlin, it will be so disheartening, considering the other non-selections Popa has made.

So who are the 3 to be dropped? Obviously one of the goalies, a defender, and who else? I'm still trying to process Borrello's possible inclusion, what does he offer exactly?

Exactly, none of the journos will have the spine to really press popa on these decisions, especially after he throws out one of his generic responses. Would love for one of them to just ask "What is it about Robertson you despise so much?.... What does Borello have over you? Incriminating...

When we're 3 nil down in the 76th minute against Turkey we'll finally see some bold substitutions made in Mabil coming on for Borello, Velluppillay for Hrustic and Behich for Rowles 👏

I think we all need to be prepared for a starting front 3 of Boyle - Borrello - Vellupellay against Turkey. :LOL:

Staggered that Borrello is still in the training camp.... and like everyone else, really disappointed in the Robertson omission. Perhaps Devlin really showed something in training that got Popa all excited... I suspect it was him that pipped Robertson. With who's left, it does scare me a...

A much more inspiring selection of arrivals. Would love to see Bennie make the final squad.

Joey Lynch really getting into the abstract part of Popa's mind

Hopefully they make the replay of the match available not too long after the live stream., 2 am is gonna be stretch. Would be nice to watch the replay with a coffee at a respectable time in the morning.

Definitely, there's an exciting batch coming through. Will be interesting to see how many others from that U20 Asian Cup team that triumphed last year (in addition to Paulie and Herrington) make it through.

Hopefully it ensures Robertson gets picked..... and definitely not Caceras or Bratten

You feel like after this WC there will be selection of the older "experienced" cohort that will hang up the boots. It's just unfortunate that it takes a retirement for Popa to not select them.

So with North Korea out, do we just need a win against India to qualify for the WC?

Teague, Caceres, Brattan.... it'll happen 🤦‍♂️

With 2 windows before the draw on December 5th, interestingly Equador who are one place just above us in the rankings (and currently sitting in Pot 2), will also be playing USA and Canada in friendlies. Hopefully USA can do us a favour and topple them. Canada are also just below us in the...

Hopefully, would love to see what he could do, we definitely need some more options in that RB/RWB spot.

C'mon Columbia!
