Above 30 during game today in Tashkent. Very low humidity though.

I see Yazbek getting some shouts. What do people make of him?

I like him. Played well for SFC - was a better holding Mid than Retre. Should do well next to Francois. I like D'Arrigo, but he hardly played last season, so I'd go for Yazbek. 

Super keen for tonight’s game. Haven’t had this much depth in an underage squad in ages.

Less looking forward to only 3 hours sleep between this game and Socceroos vs Jordan.

Haha same here. Coffee drip on Thursday

I can't remember having a more satisfactory bunch together. Nearly every one of them has been touted on this forum and now we get to see them all in action together. It's generally always been a few batches of players get on the field together but this is like having the whole set of collector cards!

It gets better. Some even missed out as the age group is so well stacked. 

Murmurs that certain staff aren't happy that Talbot was not included as his utility is extremely underated and would of played a massive part especially when the games come thick and fast later on.

Certain members believe they must go win the tornuament or at least reach the final whilst others believe leaving the group stage is an achievement. 

Sounds like Kenny Lowe and Garcia are the only one with some fucking balls there. I agree with them and believe this squad should be amongst the semis.

Trewin deserves to start. Better player than either Courtney Perkins or Bility. Has more professional experience than Rich-Baghuelou. Never has a bad game. Good player. 

What staff not happy about Talbot? He’s a pretty poor defender not bat going forward, 
who are the certain members , a lot of hearsay not much fact , time we realised the rest of Asia has caught up with us and in many cases passed us by.

Yep. Bility has essentially no first team experience and JCP played very little this season. Trewin has over 50 professional games - more first team minutes than Bility, JCP and JRB combined and has shown an ability to carry the ball out from the back and break the lines.

Other streams available? (Not paramount)

its on paramount apparently.

Team in. Please correct as required. Not sure about Najjarine as much. Hope he can kick on as he'S been in the Olyroos a while. The wings with Kuol. Wow.


            Gauci
Miller JRB Bility Farrell
        D'Arrigo Francois
Peupion Najjarine Brook
             Kuol

Game is on 10, Paramount, DAZN Japan and Sportklub in all ex Yugoslavian countries.

Paramount actually has all games available. Awesome. Paramount is cheap as chips and works perfectly with Nordvpn on PC. Phone requires app so that's a hassle having a non Australian playstore.

The awesome thing is that honestly any combination of players could have been the starting xi and I would have been happy as there’s just so much depth in this squad. 

Anyone seen peupion? Got chosen over some decent options without making his debut so must have something about him!

Only highlights of him scoring goals. Looks the goods. Would've liked to have seen Hammond picked over Najjarine & have Brook play as the CAM

Either Hammond or Yazbek in the side ahead of Najarine would have been good. They must see something in Najarine as they continue to select him. Not quite sure what that something is?

Soccerwhos podcast had Rawlins and Bos as Roos fullbacks in the next 6 years or so yet we get these two ahead shows how much decent competition their is. Fine by me.

Me neither. Found him quite lackluster in previous Olyroos games. Here's hoping a bit of maturity helps.

He's apparently been doing very good things for Brighton U23. We'll now get to see it. Cleur had rave Italian reviews but we saw how that went.

Wish Paramount player had rewind

Bloody hell two posts!

Can see how Kuol has balance and can stand. Leckie would still somehow trip.
