Who could realistically come into this squad? Doubt there will be too many bolters... any youngster doing enough to push into a WC squad by June?
Hrusic? Mabil?
Any old timers likely to do enough to get back in the fold? Williams? Spiranovic?
Any right backs beyond Risdon?

Mabil is the most likely if he continues to improve in Portugal, then maybe Ansell for McGowan or someone.

One thing about Ange, he has said he wanted players to have 20 odd caps by Russia. However, up steps Jurman and he's in the squad with only 4 caps. If a player is doing enough he will be rewarded! It shall be interesting to see who else steps up in the next 6 months. Hrustic for mine.

Taggart.
I'd like to see the Socceroos play some friendlies against weaker opposition to blood players like Taggart.
If they aren't FIFA international dates, play some HAL players and Asian players (if released).
The HAL has Socceroos Cahill, Milligan, Troisi and Risdon.
Sains, Degenek, Jurman and Spira all play in Asia. Nathan Burns could be added too.

Based on his current form if it continues for the entire season, Dimi Petratos has got to be a chance as a bolter for the WC squad. He is playing consistent high quality football, much moreso than the likes of Hrustic, Goodwin and Mabil who are somewhat bit part players in their teams

McGowan definitely out and Ruka too probably.
Risdon depends on his form I suppose and maybe Geria will have a good season and make the provisional 40.
Gersbach I prefer but if he struggles for minutes I would like to see Meredith enter the frame with a full Championship season behind him.
I think Langerak will be fine regardless but Birighitti and Vukovic would be the two most active after Ryan. Jones won't be considered.
CB Wilkinson, Spiranovic and Williams.
Up front Maclaren, Taggart, Mebrahtu. Kennedy entered as a 3rd league player in 06.
Jeggo and Amini have closer claims. Holland no way and Bozanic really disappeared but did nothing wrong. Hrustic unlikely as too Burns and Ikon.
Maybe Duke will enter the extended squad. Brad Smith is a very unlikely option at the moment.
The squad is almost set. Degenek is versatile and has improved. Irvine is a shoe in. Goodwin should just make the cut.

Of course I was concentrated on so many that definitely Mabil is one who will come very close to getting in.

Cleur been sitting on the bench in serie B for a few weeks now, can play at CDM RM or RB seems suited to a RWB role... would like to see him in the 30 if he gets 15-20 games this season.

If Folami can break into the Ipswich team which looks inevitable considering how well he is playing for the u23's he has a chance.

He is playing consistent high quality football, much moreso than the likes of Hrustic, Goodwin and Mabil who are somewhat bit part players in their teams The thing I like about Petratos is that, like Troisi, he is always looking for an opportunity to create a yard of space and shoot. The one difference is that Petratos can actually shoot. De Silva is my outsider - needs to be more consistent, but at his best does things that others can't.

+xTaggart. I'd like to see the Socceroos play some friendlies against weaker opposition to blood players like Taggart. Taggart already has 7 caps - if he needs to be 'blooded' against weak opposition then he's not ready. Compare with Jurman who was 'blooded' in 4 do or die qualifiers.

Rhys Williams would be a huge coup if he stays fit. Still dusting off some cob webs but his general play looks very promising and would be a step up from Jurman and Wright.
Otherwise Taggart would be usefull and is a menace.

From fox sports. Burgess and Elder as midfielders plus Elder named as Cameron. I think this guy actually used Fifa national squads. Davidson and Oar aren't mentioned. While not in the frame, they're not in FIFA either. I'm pretty happy with our top 30 or so. I agree with the entire 23 except maybe Mabil for Da Silva. Exciting pool of players.

Isaias would be worth a shout considering he becomes an Aussie at the end of the season just before the World Cup.

+xAny right backs beyond Risdon? Marrone. Never plays a bad game and one of the most underrated players in the A-League.

I would also like to see Mabil, Jones and Wilkinson would be a good back up if we get some injuries.

If Burns can get gametime under his belt he puts himself right back in the frame. Ange rates him

I think the backline can def be improved. Grant for Risdon, Williams for McGowan, Spira for Wright or Degenek. Millsy should be playing RCB also given the glut of midfielders we now have and luongo's current form. Millsy's performance against Chile in that position was world class

Players who were not in the 23 last night who should be considered are
Birighitti, Williams, Spiranovic, Jeggo, Meredith, MacLaren, Mebrahtu, Taggart, Ansell, Mabil, Goodwin, Amini, Hrustic and Dougall.
I also noticed on the Socceroos wikipedia page Lord Jedinak is part of the squad.
