"To be fair to them, I have already told James Holland - and will tell Tommy Oar - that, all things being equal, they won't go."

bobbyR, you got a phoenix pic are you that stupid? this kids a SUPERSTARRRR!!!

One more than Holland!!

Have you seen Holland play? This is the guy with the hype - that has done nothing to deserve it.

And yes - I have seen a lot of Holland. Some talent but no ticker - goes missing when the pressure is on. Hope to be proved wrong in the future - but expect to be proved right.

The lad has had one good game, that's no reason for him to be getting called up for the World Cup.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Kiddo your decent but not ready yet.
I think he knows this. He will be taken at least as a reserve.
I hope he doesn't play though he'll get torn to shreds.

^ Oar typo.

^^^^ davstar your such a donkey!. Holland is young talented deserves to be there!. who is Ora?

Australia needs Ora to go we need some new players Vidosic and Lowry as well drop Moore, Holland(cuz hes no good) and beachy.

bobbyR, what are you laughing at? Have you seen him play? Idiot.

I think there is no reason why he shouldn't be selected in the final 23 man squad. When you look at it out of a 23 man World Cup squad only about 14-15 players throughout the tournament. That is the same for all countries at the tournament. I have mixed feelings about him as he is young and done ok in the A-league but hopefully he kicks on in Europe. So I dont see why he shouldn't be given a spot on the bench and gain that experience that will be needed for 2014 and 2018.

hahahahahaha

if this kid gets selected...........................

na, Pims not THAT stupid.








is he ?

It would be great if he performs well and gets selected, and imagine, plays at South Africa. You never know he can be the next big thing for us.

On ya Tommy. Keep training hard mate and squeeze your way into that squad.

such a modest young player. really looking forward to seeing how he progresses over the next couple years

Great young kid. Keep your feet on the ground Tommy and you have the ability to become a clean cut national hero that Mums everywhere would love to have as their own kid.

Not only a very promising young footballer but he also has his head on straight. An asset to the Socceroos for years to come no doubt.


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Oar: Don't Believe The Hype?
EXCLUSIVE Despite the massive media attention, Tommy Oar says he’s not buying into the hype surrounding his Socceroo selection in Pim Verbeek’s 31-man provisional World Cup squad.

Have your say.
