I get thats how i should feel but I am more eager to make the olympics to be honest

I agree.

Its a bigger shop window for our players than Asian Cup..

How can people seriously be saying Mo Touré isn’t good enough for the Roos?

Whose saying that?? I havent seen anyone.

We definitely a 2nd guy to push him/ compete with him though. Other than him and Irankunda (whose best position is LW) we are light on there.

Lots used to say the same about Mitch Duke when he was clearly the best central striker we had at the time. A lot used to say that about Mark Viduka in those days as well and he's the best striker we ever produced. Toure deserved his selection, and hopefully he can become a solid striker for us in the future.

Lol no one said that about Viduka.

They did say however that he underwhelmed in a Socceroos shirt and that is true. Partly due to the way he was used, partly to missing some good chances hed normally bury and partly due to his attitude - didnt look like he wanted to be there sometimes and declined callups early in his career (98-02) and at the end of his career (07-09).
