He’s great compared to Mitch Joke. He’s Ballor D’or material compared to Much Joke.

Are you just taking the piss or what?!! You've posted nothing but nonsense for the last few weeks. Duke has done everything he's been asked to do for the Socceroos. 50% conversation rate is good enough for me

When your go 2 guy on the bench plays in the Japanese Second Division, you know that the cupboard is very bare indeed.

True or not, that isn’t Duke’s fault.

Duke is crap. Utter crap. He's only in the team because Arnie knew him from the Mariners. If he played for the Glory he wouldn't be anywhere near the 'Roos. If Cummings has played or the Mariners Arnie would make him captain. It was the same with Ange picking Mckay all the time, even though he wasn't good enough.

Nah this comment is utter crap, not Duke

Why isnt there more chater about capping Jason Cummings? He said he wants to play for Australia, we have no strikers, Jason Cummings plays striker. What the fuck is Arnie doing? Mitch Duke? That’s the answer to our striker woes? Duke? If Duke was banging in goals in the SPL he’d be the first name on the team sheet.

Taggart should be dropped, not Duke

Club scoring records

Cummings - 298 games 114 goals
Taggart - 187 games 83 goals
Mclaren - 202 games - 122 goals
Much Joke - 210 games 25 goals 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴


While I agree that duke isn’t the answer for the roo’s a decent chunk of those appearances were at wing back for shimizu S pulse

Strain started, 64 mins in a 2-0 win


By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

First of all can we stop with the Facebook boomer humour and dumb invented names. It's just silly. Secondly can we move this dick waving to another thread. This thread is about Aussies Abroad not "I hate this particular person I don't know because my real life is devoid of all meaning and happiness."

Is that you, Jason? You know this is just a football forum - we don't have any actual power over national team selections. You'll have to try another avenue.

No shit. But I hate it when national coaches pick their old club faves simply because they shared a nice little rapport at club level years ago. The only reason Duke is in the team because GA coached him at club level and they became bum buddies which has now lead to a bias in selecting the national team. The bias hurts the NT because its based on nepotism and Arnold's man crush rather than merit. It was the same when Ange kept picking Mckay for the NT , despite Mckay absolutely sucking balls, simply because he was Ange's favourite little pet at the Roar. Much Joke, playing in the second division of Japan, is playing at a a level that is the equivalent of the conference league in England. We have a conference league player in the Socceroos. That should make people mad. 

He is still much much better than Taggart tho. At least he scored goals for the national team. He scored goals that why Arnie loves him.

I don't watch too much Serie A but Cagliari are currently last so hopefully he gets a chance.

Here's a video of mourinho walking in on the players and the first player he acknowledges is cristian.

Oh man you newbies are dumb. He played 4 games for the national team when he was tearing it up the 2nd division. Seemed good enough for them.

Brad Smith to start for Seattle soon. I think it's his first game back from injury/illness.

Edit: Started and substituted after 56. I wasn't able to watch the game but he didn't rate very highly on FotMob and SofaScore.

Wow, regardless if he doesn’t see minutes it’s clear he’s in the frame for game time this season. Interesting to see what Arnold does here. Ikon got into the national side from a similar situation.

If he makes his debut for Roma. surely you cap him. Provided its not a 5 min cameo
