Unfortunate really as a forced omission against Brazil will allow us to try someone else. We get good reliability out of O'Neill and Italiano and I think both have a solid understanding of Popovic's system. Playing them in every single friendly is pointless.

Should probably go elsewhere as the coach fancies others but the system isn't exactly working. He's getting a full half tonight so a bit of progress.

Even the big world cup hype is left to be enjoyed by the other codes and people are so fickle they all disappear afterwards. A big issue with football in Australia is the eventism and the ad hoc nature of shared grounds, closed league and a stupidly long off season. Out of sight, out of mind.

49ers have arrived. It's sherrin time!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2027_AFC_U-20_Asian_Cup_qualification#Ranking_of_second-placed_teams I simply can't calculate as yet. If we lose or draw to Indonesia and Malaysia win by a decent margin against Laos we don't qualify. Tie breaker is H2H.

Mooy's EPL stint eclipses them all. The guy was a beast.

For 3rd keeper I think so. Good bit of exposure.

Neill needs to s Massive storm over Vientiane by the looks.

Rough past 2 games in a conceding sense but all about learning at better levels.

Bit of rotation fine with a mid week game after Sunday. Cup on weekend.

McGree starting.

Sep 1 is generally the cut off for nice things. We got in early this season.

Pre game posts and articles should state where the game can potentially be viewed.

Burgess out for the season.

What's wild is Souttar was on loan at Fleetwood in League 1 and too brilliant world cups later he finds himself in that division as a prisoner. Leicester bolstered overnight with some experience to go hard for promotion but that is a disgusting injustice he got kept there. Faes, Okoli still...

The interesting thing about Kuol was he went to two anti football clubs. He got played out of position and it was Scotland while Volendaam were holding on for dear life. He had a successful run at the latter when they played him correctly. RBR needs this season again to keep honing his skills...

Yes and no. I suggest you look at the clubs in the 3rd tier. Most a traditional ones that lost their way a decade a go and are now stabilised and rising again. It's a great place to play every week for his age. The players in Germany who got stuffed around were mostly put in the 4th tier and or...

It's more Leicester holding on to him. I've heard they were trying to add conditions on a few deals for sales of their players and scared the buyer off. Souttar's injury history and an Asian Cup absence might have put clubs off. I noticed most ended signing another defender at a decent price...

Hull with some big ins but also surprising outs with loaning capable players away who've already contributed this season.
