Dude, I’m a Sydney fan and I firmly believe he isn’t the man for the Roos job. But he did qualify us for Tokyo. 

Geez give it a break. Vidmar has just been appointed and it still ends up an Arnie hate fest. 

My Starting 11:
                           Gauci
        Rich-Baghuelou (c)     Trewin
Miller                                        Farrell                      
                       D’arrigo
              Nisbet             Francois
Bernado                                    Najjarine    

Decent squad, it looks like a more talented squad to work with compared to the Tokyo 2020 side it will be interesting to see the final squad for Paris if they qualify because there is alot of talent to choose from.

But for this tournament:

                           Gauci

Miller/Rawlins       Jay-Rich       JCP        Bos/Farrell

                Yazbek        Francois

Brook/Bernardo              Najjarine        Hammond/Peupion

                          Kuol/Wood

Throw in the likes of Tilio, King, Folami, Teague, Watts, Volpato(if he wants to play for us), Circati as some that could be in this team...

Good JRB write up. I would rather he get picked for the Roos squad in June but I think Wright is a lock for the squad now as Degenek hasn't been playing much. Add Arnie's  love for Stensness and probably Rowles. Is Good fit? He'll be in. McGowan will be selected for cover unfortunately. Grdic, Ryan and Ouzonidis are just injured or not playing at the level or at all to warrant selection for the Olyroos. The clash of camps means we need to spread carefully but the Roos take full priority here.

Just seeing the squad has been named. Very happy with it. JRB in there so that answers a Socceroos call up question.

Just wonder where italano and Teague are?

Any disappointments who missed out? Wow Hammond and Francois too. What an exciting bunch. G Kuol can get some U20 exposure hopefully.

At first I was like where the hell is Tilio, but completely forgot that the camps overlap and he’ll be with the Socceroos. 

Overall this is a very, very exciting squad. 90% of this squad is also eligible for the Olympics which is fantastic to see. 

Ah yes. The former hasn't done much. The latter has some time yet. It would be nice to see Teague as he did well in the camps.

I wonder who the extra player is hopefully some crazy prospects dad was born in Australia and wants to represent AUS that we don’t know about. Highly unlikely tho 

I’m trying to think.

Watts is still injured. 

Circati would’ve been good. Wonder if he is a smoky for Socceroos squad. 

I forgot Mo Toure is injured too.

obviuosly a ton of players missing

Any reason why Thurgate wasn't considered? He was outstanding this season. 

A lot of social media asking that. I think Thurgate is going to be the new Dougall who fares well in club life but will be the 5th or 6th best midfielder for the Roos.

I wonder. It says on Paramount+ whereas the 3 June Socceroos games say Channel 10 and 10 play. Maybe Paramount doesn't have extended rights to these 3 Socceroos games? You'd think they'd be on Paramount too.

Potentially on my football YouTube channel mate. 

That's another good source. Thanks. For the playoffs Sporttvtotal my have the streams again. Onefootball for UK or hopefully the AFC YouTube. If we make it,  the Intercontinental is a slight concern as 10 Play with a VPN can be very laggy. Being Peru there should be plenty on Youtube.

Perhaps Thurgate not being in the squad is an indication that he’s getting called up to the Socceroos. I remember at the start of the season it was looking like he was going to get picked before he eventually got injured just before selection time.

Saw on Twitter he is injured and declined the call up 

Is there a way we can it from overseas too? Not sure if Paramount + is available, hopefully they put it on YouTube for overseas viewers.

VPN to Malaysia. Eleven Sports subscription is about AUD 6 per month. Just take it for one month. Unless you are like me, and don't mind watching things like the AFC Cup that don't get shown on Paramount+.
Through a VPN, the Eleven Sports live stream works best from a Chrome browser connection. Their app doesn't seem to like live streaming with a VPN.

Player 23 added appears to be Peupion. I can't remember a more satisfying selection of players. So many names we've followed and we'll get to see them all together in a gold shirt. Undoubtedly we'll see some exciting things and experience some disappointments but I think we'll learn a lot about this bunch in this tournament.

Soccerwhos Podcast mentioned the future of Bos and Rawlins. Both still very raw but so talented and clearly identified as such. We saw Brook beat his man. Add Peupion, Hammond and Kuol and there's a lot of flair. John Iredale would've made it I think but for his jaw op. Clinical finisher. In hindsight Dylan Ryan has had a horrible last 3 years since qualifying for Tokyo. If only he'd had 3 solid back to back seasons.

Peupion was in the original list mate - hoping it's Teague or Circati

Mo’s out injured.

Yengi was definitely robbed though.
