From the Keep-Up News section by Sacha Pisani. We won on penalties 6-5. That's awesome!!! He's was great for us all the way through in the Australia Cup. He can definitely find the back of the net!

We honestly have an amazing Olyroos team, one of the best we've ever had. Should be equal favourites at full strength with Japan and one of the favourites to win the Olympics too.

			    Once we can name the absolute best available, which we should, I'll be hopeful. Only 3 spots and a playoff available for Paris. We need to even call up Bos for this. All available A players must drop down to maximize our chances.

I think the Socceroos 2026 World Cup team and beyond will look alot different with more depth, I just hope the style continues to fit them in creating an exciting team.

Yes we probably qualified last time because most of our best were in the a league. This time we have most of our best already overseas Teague will be key. Hope we can get triantis too

			    The draw will take place on 23 November 2023.[6] The 16 teams will be drawn into four groups of four teams, with seeding based on their performance at the 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_AFC_U-23_Asian_Cup# Tournament April 15 to May 3. We should stop at nothing to name an absolute best 23 but I don't know if clubs must release players. I'd take Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia. If Japan can end up on the other end of the draw that'd be nice. We need to finish to 3 for auto qualification.

			    +xIs there anything Qatar doesn't host these days? Since its inception it's been hosted by Oman, Qatar, China, Thailand, Uzbekistan, next Qatar then Saudi. We've got to bid. I don't know if Japan or South Korea just don't.

Mo Toure, Nieuwenhof included which gives clarity to who might make the full squad for Bangladesh and Palestine.  Irankunda to be selected for neither I think. Do the U20 have something? G Kuol in some limbo now.

			    If Irankunda doesn't get selected for either squad it would be a travesty. I think Garang should've been in the Olyroos camp to show that he's still on the radar for the NT, because he shouldn't be included in the Socceroos squad at the moment.

They can keep concentrating on their club development but regularly playing for the national team set up is important.  For the U23 Asian Cup proper, we need to bring in Bos. Seems like Irankunda and Kuol are either selected for neither or train-ons for the Roos (not sure the rules on that for official FIFA matches). Needless to say, if not with the Roos then they should've been with the U23's. Kuol is doing well at club level, getting minutes is the most important thing for him atm and developing his game from that. Obviously he'll need to start scoring if he wants to keep his spot.  As for U23 Asian Cup, all eligible u23's should be brought in if not injured and if released from their club. Seems like Circati, Volpato, Robertson will miss the U23 Asian Cup. Kuol, Toure and a few of the other boys will still have their comps running but might not be necessary to their clubs. Robbo and Ale are both in promotion races and the Asian Cup is in the crux of the race, very unlikely the two starters get released.  Our first look at a full-strength Olyroos may come at Paris 2024, hopefully. It's good that they have been building depth for this age-group because we may be down quite a few key players at the U23 Asian Cup and we really need to aim to qualify for Paris.

It's good that they have been building depth for this age-group because we may be down quite a few key players at the U23 Asian Cup and we really need to aim to qualify for Paris. The match-day 23 do not need to be named until 90 minutes before the game. However, they need to come from the official provisional players list supplied by the FA (at least 35 players on this list) 30 days before the first qualifying match. This list can have players added to it anytime in the qualifying competition, but players can be added at any time but no later than the day before the qualifying match in question. So theoretically, can bring more than 23 into a camp, but not use for one of the games

			    Its going to be hard to bring in the best team possible due to being in a non FIFA window, so it makes sense to look at other players because depth might be important.

			    Just realised that Josh Rawlins isn't in the squad - can only assume he's injured, because he's been a mainstay for the Olyroos for a couple of years. Italiano better be the starting RB, because Talbot is utter shite
