    2014 World Cup Socceroos Thread

    Being that the great man Ange Postecoglou is days away from announcing the preliminary 30 man squad for Brazil lets all have a crack at naming the final 23 now and see who gets closest to the mark when he wields the axe and culls the squad.

    Figure it would be a bit more interesting before the 30 man squad is named and you can from that maybe work it out. right now it is wide open


    PS WLG You should be naming Luca$h in your squad on principles you have stuck by!!!

    Shit yeah - and I left out McGowan and Bozanic as well. I should probably have done a 30 man squad instead of 23... no Wilkshire, no left side backup for Davidson either. These things, ffs. Always forget someone!

    I was under the assumption Wright can play CB and LB also with McKay could play there if necessary. Also believe the lack of Football will hurt Bresc I think.

    Wright is a CB.

    Could play left back if required but not his real position

    Can also play right back and has played in midfield. If we only take Davidson as specialist left back, I think Premy is correct in saying that Wright or McKay would be expected to deputise.

    Have you ever watched either of these guys? Also, you ridicule the level that Neill was playing at (Football Championship) yet are happy for a Football League 1 (not to mention an alleged criminal) & K-League player to be in the squad. Got it.
    OK

    I read somewhere the other day that he was pushing to be fit, although not match fit, he would be someone I would be willing to gamble on.

    Still think taking anyone over the age of 13 is a waste of a spot. Build for the future. we are ****ed anyway. might as well mentally traumatise the next next next generation.

    Halloran has been in immense form lately. Would rather we give him the RM spot, and let Kruse actually recover.
    OK
