Absolute Radio silence on K Bos to Mainz. Nothing in German or English.

Australian defender Jason Davidson has confirmed on a social media post that he is leaving Greek Super League side Panserraikos

I like Yengi lingering on the sides. Not a winher but getting the ball out wide and taking them on. You'll never go into a tournament thin at centre back but playing a back 4 would allow better picks elsewhere. Triantis as absolute emergency cover. We got the last Asian Cup wrong with so few...

Bennie is packing on the muscle. I'd honestly pick him then have Baccus in there as a RWB and midfield coverage in order to drop O'Neill or Teague. Metcalfe would linger as an emergency RWB option. Bos is a shoe in then Elder if fit. Elder can also play LCB so that would exclude Rowles. I...

We'll keep with the theme word here, another myth. Nisbet has played tough A League markers but has moves to escape them.

I remember all those years ago on the old forum when O'Neill shouldered Matic off the ball in the EPL. He made it for Australia eventually. I'm just annoyed Balard and Triantis haven't had a chance to show things. Imagine seeing Robertson out there too. We had it late against Argentina in...

Another embellished by an impressive debut. One hit wonder. I personally want someone who'll take the game on like Nisbet. O'Neill is just a sideways passing pawn.

Crazy some people have apparently survived this Air India crash. A dreamliner.... Look like a stall dip 5min after start. Pilot error or technical fault? Bloody hell.

Sliding doors moment of the campaign? Either that Saudi goal chalked off of Indonesia hitting the post with the penalty.

Those forever golden shirts look really good. Trust only 50 were made.

Belgium Congo would be...feisty....I'd take Belgium, Costa Rica, Turkey. Sodding Italy in pot 4 is nuts as they still have a plucky element.

Yet football culture wise maybe something diverse with the home of football, vuvuzelas and kiwi trickery.

There are a number of images, texts, discussions on how players would be had they not become pro and rich. Rooney in a caravan, Ribery some disco creep, Ryan would be some Mount Druitt lad with and eshay hairstyle.

Bosnich on a podcast is great as he'll go off on stories. Those who played with him tell them from their view. The loud walk into the Iran hotel reception in shorts and laughing with armed guards about :D

England, South Africa New Zealand would be culturally stale.

Pot 3 tricky but I prefer it over 2 with a lot of tough teams. Makes it fairly clear who you could get given all the AFC clashes. 4 AFC teams in there and only 2 CAF.

How on earth has this hit 5 pages so quickly?

Something like that so early summer games

Wouldn't you rather Caucescu 1989 style?

It's a massive country as is the world. I think we all get sucked into a media tunnel or bubble where it seems ever present yet there are millions of people either unaffected or indifferent to an event. Plenty of Americans going about their business not engaging in media or politics doing...
