Yeah mate, every minute. How about you?

I've just realised along with Tilio, Triantis was the other player omitted entirely. Ridiculous.

It's like he just intentionally sets out to be controversial despite the blindingly obvious staring him in the face. Triantis the most in form Socceroo of anyone thus far in 2025. So bloody irritating.

Which players didn't make team? Tilio and?... Absolutely ridiculous that he's starting Teague ahead of Triantis. So stupid. Greece might get in his ear and suggest he reconsider.

According to FotMob, Duke played a combined 88 minutes across 3 matches in the >4 months since our previous game against Saudi on 14Nov. The last time he scored a goal was more than 8 months ago on 20Jul. He started just 6 games for his club across all of last season. Ridiculous that he's being...

Line-up I'm expecting tonight (certainly wouldn't be mine): Ryan, Geria, Burgess, Rowles, Miller, Behich, Irvine, O'Neill, Boyle, Goodwin, Yengi.

Genuine question, I'm interested in how people reconcile between him being selected for U21 Italy squad and saying that he'll never be near good enough to play for senior Italy team. Logically surely if he's good enough to qualify for U21 team ahead of so many others, the idea of him being good...

Maybe Popovic can use that technique to pick his next squad. Put it through the hole 5 times in a row or otherwise you stay home!

Glad I prepared myself! No Strain, Elder, Jack Iredale, Balard, Luongo, Nisbet, Kalik, Segecic, Irankunda, Toure or Botic. Also no progress made in securing Robertson or Volpato. Anyone else I'm missing? Maybe add Milanovic and Drew. Most unlucky I'd say based on form are Iredale, Irankunda...

We've usually heard a few whispers or leaks of players to be named by this stage. Surprised we've not heard too much.

The team will be announced on Friday apparently.

I'm preparing myself to be disappointed by Popovic's squad selection with random obscure selections and glaring omissions! Players out of form or barely playing being picked and other players banging the door down and missing out.

Confirmed by manager now to be a calf injury.

Burgess injury is calf. https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/24978632.ipswich-town-injuries-revealed-fa-cup-exit-nottingham-fores/

I might be a chance to get a call up for our back 4 at this rate. Better start training.

Yeah, pathetic coverage. Not surprising.

All players had game time during tournament except 3rd choice keeper so great squad rotation. So bold to make those 3 big changes for the final, albeit he reversed them all at half time.

Doesn't always translate to a victory necessarily but on the basis of the first 35 minutes we are a so much better side than Saudi and it's not even remotely close. Iraq have been the toughest team we've faced.

Feel sorry for Talladira. A real unsung hero so far, especially given he's been targeted by opposition and still stood up.

With Mabil only playing about 5 games for Cadiz, and being ranked our 7th best player of all time to play in Spain, it's pretty slim pickings.
