Australia World Cup Squad

Australia finally ditched Lucas Neill, not sure of final squad yet, but Neill won't be in so they'll be looking for a new captain

How on earth is that considered a worse group than Spain, The Netherlands and Chile?

This. Australia were never gonna have much of chance regardless of what group they were in, but got a shocking group.

Goalkeepers: Mark Birighitti (Newcastle Jets), Eugene Galekovic (Adelaide United), Mitch Langerak (Borussia Dortmund), Mat Ryan (Club Brugge)

Defenders: Josh Brillante (Newcastle Jets), Jason Davison (Heracles Almelo), Ivan Franjic (Brisbane Roar), Curtis Good (Dundee United), Ryan McGowan (Shandong), Matthew Spiranovic (Western Sydney Wanderers), Alex Wilkinson (Jeonbuk), Luke Wilkshire (Dynamo Moscow), Bailey Wright (Preston North End)

Midfielders: Oliver Bozanic (Luzern), Mark Bresciano (Al Gharafa), Ben Halloran (Fortuna Dusseldorf), James Holland (Austria Vienna), Mile Jedinak (Crystal Palace), Massimo Luongo (Swindon Town), Matt McKay (Brisbane Roar), Mark Milligan (Melbourne Victory), Tommy Oar (Utrecht) , Tom Rogic (Melbourne Victory), Adam Sarota (Utrecht), Dario Vidosic (FC Sion)

Forwards: Tim Cahill (New York Red Bulls), Josh Kennedy (Nagoya Grampus), Mathew Leckie (FSV Frankfurt), Adam Taggart (Newcastle Jets), James Troisi (Melbourne Victory)

This. Australia were never gonna have much of chance regardless of what group they were in, but got a shocking group.

We're going to get thumped every game and it's probably going to be a hideous long ball to Josh Kennedy/ Stoke under Pulis style of play. I really hope Ange just says to them go out there and play some proper football there's no point in playing ugly when you're going to lose.

Ange won't play hoofball. But it's a poor squad

This. Australia were never gonna have much of chance regardless of what group they were in, but got a shocking group.

The 'ends' will be the same then, "no worries cobber". 

Australia's last chance of winning the World Cup went when Harry sick note Kewell retired

Winning the world cup is not at all an Australian hope, over here the aim is simply to get out of the group stage, though like I said, no chance of it happening.

Wonder what odds you can get on Australia not scoring a goal...
