****.

Risdon did well. 

3-0 up! 

[wendybr]

Go Daniel...tear them up!

[sonar]

Does Arzani coming on as a sub now disqualify him for playing for Iran...?

Hope so.

No it doesn’t. He has to be capped in non-friendly match (World Cup, World Cup Qualifier or Asian Cup)

i don’t he deserves a spot in this World Cup 

[wendybr]

OK thanks Paul. 

That's a shame.

Even if he isn't ready for this WC...it'd be a pity to see him snapped up by Iran.

Arnie can take him to the Asian Cup because it's time for Cahill to retire.

Is it true what I heard the commentators say last night in that the VAR will be used during the World Cup games for red cards regardless of when an offence happens. ?

THAT will create controversy. I can just imagine if one of the top sides loses a player a couple of minutes after a foul what the fallout will be. Chaos.

So who'll be in Russia and keen for a beer or three?

I'll be following the Aussies in the first round, at Kazan/Samara/Sochi, if you guys fancy a WSW catchup there or elsewhere let me know.

Will be in Kazan from the 11th . will keep a lookout for Wanderers jerseys then

MacClaren was total plop when he came on last night think he blew his World Cup chance with the comedy running round the ball thing 

shame as I’d like him in the squad

Australia's 2018 World Cup squad

Goalkeepers; Mat Ryan, Danny Vukovic, Brad Jones.

Defenders: Trent Sainsbury, Milos Degenek, Matt Jurman, Mark Milligan, Josh Risdon, Aziz Behich, James Meredith.

Midfielders: Mile Jedinak (captain), Aaron Mooy, Massimo Luongo, Jackson Irvine, Tomi Rogic, Dimitri Petratos, Mathew Leckie, Daniel Arzani.

The World Cup squad according to a Dominic Bossi SMH article. Pretty satisfied with the squad.

From the new app where all news comes from

"From the 27 players involved in the Turkey camp and Czech Republic friendly, Fran Karacic, Josh Brillante, James Troisi, and Nikita Rukavytsya have missed out on the final squad"

Glad Brillante is out, would have preferred Ruka or Troisi over Arzani to give us better left sided optionsas well as the kid has not hardly completed an A-league game yet.

Your football knowledge and insights are infinitely more than mine...and it is likely that I will have to eat my words...but I'm excited that he's going to be there....even if it's

a) locking him in to play for Australia in the future and

b) giving him the experience that could be built on for future international Socceroos success.

But apart from those 2 future possibilities,  the vague chance that MAYBE he might get to play....and do something dazzling for the team in this campaign, to me, is too tempting to resist.

I'm also so glad that Jamie Maclaren is going as well.

The excitement is building. 

Lol....it might well be obliterated as soon as we meet France...but I 'm gonna let it build until then. 

[wendybr]

Hey Mack...or anyone else clever enough to arrange it.

Was it Balks who organised these??

       .  

I've thought it 100 times...but could we get a Green and Gold equivalent?

I guess we have this if things go badly...even though it distresses me to see Ante's distress....and it isn't a Soccerroos moment.

                           

But can we...pleeeease?

Kosta Grozos who plays in our NPL/NYL is a better player than Arzani.

I expect Arzani either to do an Antonis (no minutes in Brazil) or get 1 minute as a sub.

I wish BvM would turn Maclaren into a winger rather than deploy him as a centre forward. Maclaren is both a poacher and selfish AND CANNOT bring teammates into play unlike Tomi.

[wendybr]

Lol...I'll defer to your better knowledge....and concede that you could well be right.

But....Go Daniel!  

PS Just heard him referred to on the ABC News as  "a prodigy". 

Haha...no pressure on the kid!

Having said tthat, he seems to play with no fear.... and looks like someone with very powerful self belief (which of course can have a down side) but still....

I'm glad he is going as well, mainly for the two reason you gave.

[StringerBellend]

Surprised Mac Claren got in but, think it’s a good call

Looks like risdon has a nailed on starting spot.

 

[wendybr]

Re Risdon...Yes to ^^^. You could see BvM congratulating him very warmly when Risdon came off near the end of the game.
