Would love to see one of the games at BankWest stadium. It’s a gorgeous venue. 

They could have the Taiwan game at Hindmarsh as they're aren't a 'big' opponent.  

The Nepal game on October 10 was announced for Canberra just over two months earlier on August 2nd, so I wouldn't expect any announcements until after new year's. The FFA is probably holding off to see what chances the June games have of being decisive before finalising those hosting deals.

Have there been any rumours or announcements regarding the venues for the last 3 WCQ in this stage of qualifying?

26 March vs Kuwait
4 June vs Taiwan
9 June vs Jordan

Would be a great result and a huge load off for us, but we can't count on Jordan dropping points at all, let alone at home.

Jordan have only lost one home WCQ (a dead rubber against Iraq) since South Korea beat them in 2008.

I'd give starts to Langerak, Smith, Hrustic and Taggart. 

So Arnold has confirmed souttar is starting. That leaves 10 other players. 

Socceroos coach Graham Arnold says he is not responsible for the actions of four Australian under-23 players who are being investigated by the FFA following an incident in Cambodia earlier this year that happened under his watch.

The Olyroos were in Phnom Penh at the end of March playing in a qualifying tournament for next year's Olympics and a complaint was made against the players regarding the final night of their trip.

"Sometimes people take their own responsibility," said Graham, when asked if he felt responsible for the unspecified incident.The players involved are Lachlan Wales, Nathaniel Atkinson, Brandon Wilson and Riley McGree, who have been asked to "show cause" to the FFA for their alleged behaviour.It means the players now have the opportunity to explain their actions to the governing body.

The FFA said the reason the independent investigation took so long to complete was due to its "complexity".Despite the show cause notices being issued by the board on October 3, the FFA did not confirm the investigation until after an ABC report was published on Wednesday morning.

 Arnold was the Olyroos coach at the time but would not confirm if he was out with players on the night of the incident."In March this year I travelled to Cambodia as the head coach of the under-23 national team. After returning to Australia I was made aware of a complaint against some of our players after an incident on the final night of our stay,"

Arnold read in a statement."The alleged misbehaviour has been the subject of a thorough investigation. I have always and always will make it very clear to my staff and my players of my expectations of them in camp. They are the public face of football in this country and abroad and with that comes added responsibility."We now need to ensure the individuals concerned are given the opportunity to participate in a fair process as required under the FFA's disciplinary regulations."

McGree is the captain on the Olyroos and recently signed a three-year contract with Adelaide United.

Did he elaborate? You say 'prepared.' was anything revealed? 

Arnold was an angry man at his press conference. He had a prepared statement for questions relating to behaviour on the last Olyroos camp by  four players that he had selected.

Hope Kuwait lift away to Jordan and get a shock result. Don't think it'll happen though. 

Jordan and Singapore play to a goalless draw in an international friendly at the Amman International Stadium!

How is Brisbane going ?

Wright is also an option to cover RB in an emergency so I like his inclusion. 

He’s going to play against two shit teams so who cares

Wright in?  He's only just returned from injury and had match time.   Poor decision.   When he's fit yes but her should be given time to get back into his teams line up

Same team other than sainsbury out Wright in

Same team other than sainsbury out Wright in

Finally. Some transparency! I’m almost 100% sure the FFA are active on these forums. Thanks for listening

People will complain about the HAL/Socceroos not being with the ABC for better marketing now :)

SBS in HD has picked up the next two qualifiers. 

Should be a little relief for all the crisis milk maids on here.

Such a shame, awfully timed injuries and career decisions throughout.

Rhys Williams has officially retired from international duty. What a shame his career has turned out to be with all those horrible injuries. Extremely talented and intelligent as a footballer and he'd be a top player today if he body hadn't deteriorated. 

As I previously said it’s always a mystery. The Socceroos are shocking for announcing this stuff. The Maclaren article said tomorrow but it more than likely won’t happen then

I believe the article on MacLaren said it would be announced tomorrow (Thursday).
