When is there next game?
I cannot wait for the qualifiers! Got a whole row booked for my friends and family for the Gold Coast game! Would love to see Gauci start over Ryan whilst our regulars of Goodwin, Souttar and Boyle are a MUST! In terms of youth I would like to see Robertson, Circati, Kuol, Tilio and Irankunda all be included. #JUSTICEFORLANGERAK
I'll be honest I think we should start to phase out the likes of Duke, Goodwin and Boyle. Goodwin is the highly controversial one here but I think he had a horrible Asian cup and didn't look as sharp. Took way too long on the ball to find the next ball even technically he didn't look like the Goodwin of old maybe that's a consequence from playing in the slow pace league in the Middle East.
Also by 2026 they will be in their late 30s and taking a bunch of 30 year olds to the world cup might not be the best solution as the game is consistently moving towards youth and energy.
would arnie bring back the cumdog because of the injuries
Good choices Lachie. I still believe Luongo deserves a shout, although i guess the other midfielders mentioned are just as good 👍
We need to start playing more youthfully in these qualifiers giving chances to the likes of Yengi, Irankunda, Kuol & Gauci
Id have Glover instead of Izzo tbh dunno if Arnie will pick him tho
its exciting times ahead for the socceroos, plenty of fantastic younger players aren't in this squad or injured, the likes of kuol, robertson, bos, yazbek, even arzani.
its maybe too early but i think ryan teague could be a shout for the squad in the near future if he keeps up his current trajectory.
Callum Elder as left back potentially? Made two league appearances for Derby in the Championship this season
for rb i thought of fran karacic 😅 where has he even gone + left back surely time for farrell to get a shot
When will the squad be released?🎉
Max ballard starting in the erodevesie
