No Mates is an Aussie!

Or so he says.Anyway he adds a bit of comic relief as the forum's worst tipper of results.

McGree said he looked after Overy on the flight. Elder in camp. Has to be AI!

Crazy all the different directions the players have flown from for this. Many in camp already.

I wish someone would ask him about Nizz.

Venezuela

.....................Izzo
Geria Degenek Burgess Rowles Elder
...................Balard .... Irvine
............Boyle.......... McGree
...................Toure

Subs: Overy for Geria, Iredale for Elder. He's played a lot of left back in his career. Juric for Toure.

Colombia


...................Ryan
Miller Geria Degenek Burgess Elder
...........Devlin Balard
Irankunda Irvine Goodwin
............Toure

Subs: McGree for Goodwin, O'Neill for Balard. Metcalfe for Devlin and Irvine dropping back.

I think against Colombia we need the better ball playing defenders so Geria should get the nod. Irvine higher up to harass and drop back. Devlin and Balard have so much stamina. Got to be careful with McGree.

I don't think Irvine will be able to play out 2 full games as he comes back from 6 months out. May be wrong of course.

That's a fair point. It'll be refreshing to see him on the bench too. Hopefully Popovic can get past automatic starters except for perhaps Circati. There's a general core to an 11 but we'd been starting blokes less appropriate for the game in question.

 

[Mr Cleansheets]

Worried about these games. We have some decent players out.

It'll be tough but also a good indicator. Time for the regular selections to life like Boyle and O'Neill.

Stood next to Deni Juric is the goulash queue at the Hungary away game in 2018. He was actually ready for a call up around 3 years ago so thankfully he's lifted again.

There was a brief period after he managed a transfer to Zagreb where there were cap him posts. Funny how it works as the potential is more exciting for fans even though he would almost certainly be a better developed player now.

10 aren't helping with their 'shock' selections headlines to get clicks. Still legacy media. Should just be 'Popovic defends decisions and he expands options.' These guys have earned a chance.

Ah shoot. So used to a midfield 3. OK bench Irvine.

 

[JS96]

Australia with fewer caps this window as are Venezuela who have essentially left out many of their experienced players. Colombia to save their better players for the Australia game as they face NZ first this window. Venezuela play Canada after Australia.

I wish someone would ask him about Nizz.

I think it is simply a question that Nis is playing in the wrong league ATM.

Ditto Jake Hollman.
