2026 World Cup Squad

[onedaywinners...]

The system has its merits and I think more than occasional attacking release can see goals scored a then defence.

Schwarzer
Emerton
Sainsbury
Souttar
Neill
Chipperfield
Robertson
Grella
Bresciano
Viduka
Kewell

Alex Robertson??? The guy who's got 3 caps and the best thing he's done (YET) in green and gold is get in the face of Ecuador on debut?

Love the rest of the XI and honestly I think it matches mine, I would prob just swap out Robertson for this bald bloke called Aaron.

Might pip Grella with Jedinak as I'd prob give him the arm band.

Got to agree with this one in my recent memory. Loved the 1974 guys but the memories just aren't as strong.

I can't speak to those guys beyond what I've read. They feel very familiar though having read Shiela's, Wogs and Poofters. That book was good at telling those stories.

I guess I added him to have some present day players.

I was in my early twenties for the 1974 WC and had seen the players in that squad play many times.They were semi professionals playing against full time pros in that tournament.Much as I love them none would make JS96's XI.Ray Baartz who missed the squad through a life threatening injury would be the closest.

Always interesting to see the 74 footage. We could've had our first ever scorer there.
