Look at Sydney Olympic ruining our national team.

Is he? Seems strange considering Australia is more likely to qualify for the WC than Cyprus

If the kid has a good head on his shoulders, he would certainly weigh that heavily on his mind when making the decision.
If he decides Cyprus, then clearly he's heart bleeds Cypriot

Or he prefers all expenses paid trips to Madrid, Rome or Lisbon to Tashkent, Muscat or Kuwait City.

McCarthy has been sold to QPR, so looks like an assured full season in goals for Feds.

Plus a 1/2 fit Kruse is better then any of our other options.

Sydney born Giancarlo Gallifuoco has penned a one-year deal with Premier League side Swansea City.

The 20-year-old arrives at the Liberty on a free transfer after his contract with Tottenham expired and will now link up with the club's Under-21 squad.
Australian-born Gallifuoco spent three years at White Hart Lane and played in the same development side as Swans loanee Tom Carroll.
And he is relishing the opportunity of starting a new chapter in SA1.
"I'm very excited," he said. "It's the perfect club for me to take the next step in my career and I can't wait to get started.
"I had a brief chat with Garry Monk and he said that there are opportunities at this club if I work hard and that's what I intend to do.
"I was excited when I learned of the club's interest and it's a Premier League club that plays brilliant football and I'm delighted to be here."
Meanwhile, Giancarlo's arrival in SA1 reunites him with fellow new recruit James Demetriou, who he played with at Under-11 level in Sydney, Australia.

Fiorentina squad for Roma
By Football Italia staff

Fiorentina have revealed their 21-man squad for the match against Roma tomorrow evening.

New signings Jose Basanta, Joshua Brillante and Ciprian Tatarusanu all make the trip, but Vincenzo Montella will have to do without Giuseppe Rossi and Marko Marin.

Fiorentina squad: Alonso, Aquilani, Babacar, Basanta, Bernardeschi, Brillante, Gomez, Gonzalo, Hegazi, Ilicic, Joaquin, Lazzari, Lupatelli, Neto, Pasqual, Pizarro, Savic, Tatarusanu, Tomovic, Valero, Vargas.

A pause, however, must Moritz Hartmann insert which this week again had problems with his ankle. It looks better however, with Mathew Leckie. The Australian was fit according Hasenhüttl, but still need time until he was 100 percent. Leckie is therefore also not going to the national team....

A friend of mine is good friends with James demetriou. He tells me he played/plays for Cyprus because he can. Doesn't think there is much to it at all and tells me he would choose australia over Cyprus if/when the time comes.
Also tells me he is a very good footballer and it's a matter of time before a lot of people know that

Sebastien Pocognoli has not trained today and is a doubt for Saturday's game at Swansea #wba

Any news on Kwame Yeboah lately? Has he trained with the first team at all? It will be a little disappointing if he spends another season in the 4th tier German league. :?

Reading's Alex McCarthy has signed for QPR. Means Federici will be reading's no.1 for the rest of the season (barring injuries or a huge dip in form).

Was an incredibly silly move to leave the A-League after half a season and sign for an academy team.

Are there any Bundesliga clubs who could use him right now? Makes things really difficult when you miss out on a solid preseason.
