The comments like "He's trying to work out what he wants to do next in terms of football. He's been through a lot. He's had a fantastic career." make it sound like he's at least considering hanging up the boots. Considering Europe and the A-League have all well and truly kicked off and the Asian leagues are all in full swing, if we haven't seen anything from him yet, when will we?

Would take him as an injury replacement for Hoogland though, but I doubt he's fit. Appropriate though as he actually did play for Victory in 2005. Williams would also be a good get for us in that potential slot.

Given that Spira is from Geelong originally, WU would be a good last hurrah for him, and if they can get Macdonald in shape then they can do it for anybody.

But, does he want to?

Yep. That little punch into the palm he does us way too familiar. 

Rukavytsya starting. Sainsbury returns on bench. 

Ruka assist
Mabil assist
90 for Giannou

Jeggo got MOTM for yesterday's match according to my app (FotMob).

A North Korean, Kwang-Ryong Pak, scored on debut for the other team.

We've just got a lot of options now. Around 40 to 50 players even who I feel can do a good job for the national team.

Daniel Garb was really into Duke and Dellbridge. Sure they're far off compared to who we have but I want to beat Jordan next month so we can slowly introduce some newbies. 

Imagine if we do have those 2 games to spare and we could start Elder, Folami, Duncan and Iredale! Bit of a pipe dream but seeing them in a gold shirt is great. 

And dont forget - those last two games are really close to Copa America. But I agree John, if we beat Jordan away in November then we are just about through to the next stage (knowing our form at home and barring a catastrophe) and hopefully the u/23 Olympic qualifiers in january gets one or two of those you've mentioned above to really stand out and be ready to make the step up for the senior team. I just hope those players can actually attend that tournament as its not during an international window.

Ruka won player of the month in Israel. In some great form.

Epl Campbell is Southend manager. One final education for Milligan? 

Degenek starting away at Tottenham.

Ffs Degenek loses Kane and he heads from a corner to score. 

Luongo, Milligan, Federici and Ryan Williams all starting.

Luongo starting vs Federici. Edwards, Milligan and Williams starting. 

Another one for Tottenham in 16 minutes.

Goal Luongo. Get in! 

That's 2 goals for Luongo at Wednesday. That's a solid return with the fewer starts he's had so far. 

https://twitter.com/YesWeCrann/status/1186727365583486976 Luongo goal. Nicely taken.

Red Star don't have much in attack. Degenek's doing alright apart from the first goal.

Dougall the ballwinner https://twitter.com/wbalatest/status/1186724834891448320

Luongo went off injured.

Milligan's Southend lost 7-1 at home. They're by far the worst team in league 1 and will certainly be relegated. 

Ouch. 7-1. 

Southend copped a red in the 6th min, but still, that’s a paddlin’ 

2 reds for Southend but they're certainly the worst. 

Burgess full game for Salford in away win. I think they'll consolidate this season and go close to the top 6 next season. Main thing is that Burgess has minutes albeit he generally did well at the higher level being League One.

Lyden has been brilliant for Swindon this season. 

Dougall has been on Roos radar before. I'd actually never complain about his being selected but it's a bit too much for him now. 

so glad he's back.. watch him carry Barnsley back up the table. Has to be eventual successor to Millsy.

Milligan should be nowhere near the Socceroos at the moment. He's playing for a basket case. Plenty of young boys around that can take his spot.

If Dougall starts the majority of games between now and the next squad then surely he'll be given a look in.

If Australia wanna cap Dougall , gotta b quick b4 Thailand. There’r news that Thailand s been wanting him n he ‘s half scottish/Thai.

Never understood the fuss about Milligan. He runs and sweats a lot but there is very little end product on anything he does.  I get the whole defensive enforcer thing but even the best defensive midfielders can still create an assist occasionally.  My concern is he is best mates with Arnie and we will see him in 2022 as captain while playing in the English conference leagues.
