Curtis Good out for 6 weeks, another one bites the dust.

Had a tenner on him to make the world cup squad at $13 bucks a little while ago. Shattered...for the country.

He can still make the squad but wouldnt be match fit

It looks like Lucas Neil is prepared to do whatever it takes to get himself to Brazil having made another club change - and full credit to him - but I think he's a long-shot to be chosen.

News tonight is Lucas Neil has pulled a hamstring!

Surely he cant be selected now, another injury to a potential squad member though which isnt great.

He is past it and we need to groom other defenders, it will be a blessing in disguise.

Trent Sainsbury played for the Zwolle reserves the other day so you'd imagine he be back in the first team this week.

Any update on Curtis Good's injury?

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Zwolle are in the Dutch Cup final against Ajax next month too so hope he makes some kind of appearance.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Who cares about Sainsbury?
Ryan Thomas plays for Zwolle.

Holman has announced his retirement from the Socceroos. Completely ****ed his career up by leaving Holland. So many bad career choices. Something tells me he may have got a call from Ange.

 

[CotchNCo]

I would love to see a breakdown of the players who are still there from the 06 and 10 world cup.

 

[hey shorty]

Holman would be a great get for the A League, stupid money chasing git.

 

[Silent Alarm]

He's probably the youngest of the experienced mob too; just 30. Could have been ripe for a leadership role in the middle of the ground if he was still playing well and in a good league. Still though, I guess you can't berate someone who wanted to play in the English Premier League, as much as it faulted him in retrospect.

Bingo. Could have stayed in a decent league and been a walk up start to this years squad before chasing a belated payday in the Middle East but jumped the gun instead.


Great goal against Serbia in Sud Efrika in 2010 tho

Don't blame him for going to England but after that he should looked at staying in Europe. I imagine he would have had a few options back in the Eredivisie. Instead he chased the money for a season and will not only miss out on the World Cup but also the Asian Cup. Those tournaments would have been a good shop window for him as well for a Middle East move.

 

[thecatattack]

Love Holman but he's a money chasing campaigner.

The back 4 might turn into a bit of a lottery, I'd love to see a guy like Bailey Wright get a call-up.

Which players do we have at at left/centre back that are better than him? I heard a rumour that he's been watched by socceroos officials (including Ange) and they have also been in contact with him. I can't imagine he'd get a spot now but one for the future maybe.

Wasn't Baily caught up in some betting scandal? If he's found to be clean I see no reason why he couldn't make the squad.

That's a tough question to answer, I don't think he's quite ready to be part of the World Cup squad just yet. The problem is the back 4 are so unsettled, but if I had to choose I'd be looking at guys like Davidson, McGowan and possibly Sainsbury. Hopefully we get a better idea of it when Ange announces his preliminary WC squad.

 

[pieman123]

Halloran and Leckie both scored again overnight. Btw Leckie has moved from Frankfurt to fellow div 2 side Ingolstadt.

I agree.

Looks like Wright and Halloran have made the squad of 30, not sure if this is confirmation or not.

Doesn't look like it, seems to be more speculation to me. Still, Foxsports are well-connected so you never know.

Bailey Wright has confirmed he got a call to congratulate him on making the provisional squad
