Socceroos and Australian Football

[chaminda_00]

Will be funny when Roar get knocked out and top three teams are from NSW, good times.

 

[Captain Cricket]

Jets will win it I reckon.

 

[Johnners]

**** I hate you Adelaide. Also, why the **** would you bring on Simon Lynch instead of Robbie Kruse.

Also quite annoyed because the QLD home match is the day after I have my ingrown toenail cut out in day surgery. Meaning, I more than likely won't be able to go

Just turn up FFS it's a final.

Agree on the Lynch thing though, what's with all the teams leaving game breakers on the bench!

Soft, no wonder your a Shane Watson fan.

 

[Davey]

Man up. They do have seats at Suncorp Stadium.

 

[Captain Cricket]

Joel Griffiths = A-League player of the year

Nah, thats not the problem. The problem is getting down there. I won't be able to drive, and the mate I was planning on going with mightn't be able to go which leaves me without a ride....

Train? Bus? Taxi?

 

[Johnners]

Hah, would hate to see the taxi fare from Pittsworth to Brisbane. Don't think there has ever been a train from Pittsworth to Brisbane, and there certainly is no bus from Pittsworth to Brisbane. Believe me, if I could get there, I'd be there in a flash....

 

[speirz]

Squad v Qatar: John Aloisi, Michael Beauchamp, Mark Bresciano, Mark Bridge, Alex Brosque, Jacob Burns, Tim Cahill, Nick Carle, David Carney, Simon Colosimo, Ante Covic, Jason Culina, Bruce Djite, Travis Dodd, Brett Emerton, Vince Grella, Adam Griffiths, Joel Griffiths, James Holland, Brett Holman, Josh Kennedy, Harry Kewell, Scott McDonald, Mark Milligan, Craig Moore, Kevin Muscat, Stuart Musialik, Lucas Neill, Jade North, Tom Pondeljak, Mark Schwarzer, Archie Thompson, Nikolai Topor-Stanley, Michael Thwaite, James Troisi, Carl Valeri, Rodrigo Vargas, Danny Vukovic, Luke Wilkshire.

 

[Captain Cricket]

Refreshing to see some international players in the mix. I just hope we pick them in our starting XI 'cos screwing this match up will have it's repercussions...

 

[Johnners]

Jacob Burns, Stuart Musialik, Tom Pondeljak, Nikolai Topor-Stanley, James Troisi

Can't say I know much about any these players... Information anyone?

 

[Captain Cricket]

Burns - 30 year old plays in Poland, only 5 caps with the Socceroos.

Musialik - 22 year old plays for Newcastle Jets. Strong midfielder and a handy shut-down player.

Topor-Stanley - 22 year old plays for Perth Glory, scored 3 goals in the Socceroo's under23 squad, could make it into the starting XI.

Troisi - Only 19 years old and plays an attacking midfield/striker role at Newcastle Jets. Hasn't debuted in A-League but has a goal to his name in the Australian under20 squad.

 

[chaminda_00]

Pretty sure Troisi plays for Newscastle United in the EPL.

 

[chaminda_00]

Will be interesting to see which A-League players make the final squad if all European players make the trip. This would be my final 23.

Squad v Qatar: John Aloisi, Michael Beauchamp, Mark Bresciano, Tim Cahill, Nick Carle, David Carney, Simon Colosimo, Ante Covic, Jason Culina, Brett Emerton, Vince Grella, Brett Holman, Josh Kennedy, Harry Kewell, Scott McDonald, Mark Milligan, Craig Moore, Lucas Neill, Mark Schwarzer, Archie Thompson, Michael Thwaite, Carl Valeri, Luke Wilkshire.

With the following missing out:

Mark Bridge, Alex Brosque, Bruce Djite, Travis Dodd, Adam Griffiths, James Holland, Kevin Muscat, Stuart Musialik, Tom Pondeljak, Rodrigo Vargas, Danny Vukovic, Nikolai Topor-Stanley, Joel Griffiths, Jade North, James Troisi, Jacob Burns

I reckon this might be the final XI:

Schwarzer, Moore, Beauchamp, Neill (c), Emerton, Grella, Cahill, Culina, Carney, Kewell, MacDonald

I doubt all the players will comeback but should be one of strongest sides we had back in Australia for a while.

No Stefanutto? Fallen out of favour?

 

[chaminda_00]

No Stefanutto? Fallen out of favour?

Yeah Carney, Topor-Stanley and Thwaite have all jumped ahead of him at left wing (back). Leijer probably has too. Was always seen a makeshift until other guys started to come through.

No Viduka either.
