Still so much euro talent missing.

Here's the squad again. Is there anyone in particular you've had your eye on who's missed out? 

Tristan Hammond, Gwargis, Italiano & Duncan 

Yeah that is a little concerning we couldn't get the other country eligibles in. 

Actually would've been good to see Alex Robertson in the squad as he's a million to one to play for England now

Calderbank-Park
Chapman
Shalamanov

Courtney-Perkins
Bility
Grdic
Circati
Djurovic

Chipperfield
Teague
Del Grosso
Popovic
Robertson
Watts
Scarcella
Miller
Pavlis
Gilsenan
Peios
Perez
Jadric
Ruiz-Diaz

Volpato
Peupion
Popovic
Caroutas
Italiano
Hammond
Hammond
Alonso
Reec
Arambasic
Kuol

Assuming the likes of Italiano, Hammond etc are injured or unavailable? 

Italiano played for the Olyroos last year in the qualifiers too.

Any result / update on the Utrecht fixture? How'd the squad perform? 

1-0 loss. Game of few chances. Very sloppy. Highlights on FC Utrecht YouTube.

The whole game is on the FC Utrecht YouTube.

Yeah, i watched it. Very messy game, but thats to be expected with a squad assembled not 3 days prior.

Pretty interesting that the coach of Utrecht U21's is former Phoenix coach Darije Kalezic, and they are languishing in second last in the Eerste divisie. 

Hammond(hamstring) is injured not sure about the rest

2-2 against Netherlands u21. Anyone know if there's a replay?

It was Netherlands' u19 team and Xavi Simmons started for them. 

Ryan Teague and Alou Koul scored for Australia according to twitter: https://twitter.com/iammusie/status/1507327674812801026

Wow Dylan Ruiz haven’t heard of him in a while 

Cap them.

Like I said in the other thread, Morgan is a great short term solution for Australia N.T.
Knows all the prospects u23 and has a decent record.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in other threads but Olyroos games for U/23 Asian Cup in June directly clash with the Socceroos world cup playoffs against UAE (and maybe Peru). Olyroos group games are 1,4,7 June, game against UAE is 7 June. So Olyroos will be missing a lot of their first choice squad. Thankfully the 2022 tournament are not the qualifiers for the Olympics.
Will be interesting how this affects selections. We have a bit of depth but not that much

FT: 🇹🇱 Timor Leste 4-7 Australia 🇦🇺

An entertaining encounter sees Australia claim all three points in their opening #AFFFutsal Group B match against Timor Leste!

Full game here. Like the look of 9 white Max Hately and black 10 Miguel Di Pizio.

This thread has kept well so I hope we can use it for the U23 Asian cup. Only a month away. Have been away from national teams for a bit for sanity.

What's the squad going to look like? I hope we get the absolute best out there. The Roos games will clash so unfortunately that means some younger ones might be put into the Olyroos making way for less desirables for the Roos. 

Cut off is Jan 1, 99.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Folami and Iredale link up. I think Metcalfe will get in. I can see Tilio and maybe JRB in Qatar. God forbid Atkinson does this and we get Grant and Karacic. A lot from the talent camps too. I'm not even going to attempt naming this squad but it's an interesting bunch. 

Do we even have a manager at u/23 level since Arnie quit this role

We’ll likely pick an Olympic-age eligible squad (2001 and younger) based on the squad chosen for the qualifiers.

Could end up with something like this:

Bilokapic (02)
Aquilina (01) Grdic (02) Circati (03) Farrell (02)
Gomulka (01)
Brook (01) Tilio (01)
Kuol (04) Kuol (01) Toure (04)

Vidmar just got announced 

Heard on Twitter that the squad is getting announced next week.

Tony Vidmar appointed. Trevor Morgan still involved I believe.

Hopefully, they go for a team that can play in the next Olympics so they can build a proper squad and chemistry over the next 3 years or so. Would also love to see Circati and Volpato in the squad but that seems unlikely. Keen to see maybe irankunda and Garang maybe in the squad. Would really give those two some extreme exposure especially if Australia ends up going far into the tournament. 

Agree. 

Just as long as fcking Arnold isn't allowed anywhere near it as long as he lives
