They will also be the preferred starting 11 for each match I woudl expect. I think there is a real possibility Moore won't make it. He is too slow and couldn't keep up at A League level this year let alone World Cup. As mucy as i hate to say it I think Colosimo will get the nod before him. As for Holman, you're right - he polarises people. Personally I think he is useless and a waste of a spot. But for some reason the coaches don't seem to agree. For what it's worth, here's my picks: Squad: Definites: Mark Schwarzer Lucas Neil Tim Cahill Marco Bresciano Vince Grella Brett Emerton Harry Kewell Josh Kennedy Jason Culina Scott Chipperfield Luke Wilkshire Likely inclusions: David Carney Scott McDonald Carl Valeri Mile Jedinak Craig Moore Rhys Williams Brett Holman Simon Colosimo Dario Vidosic Tommy Oar Eugene Galekovic Brad Jones Nikita Rukavytsya/ Shane Lowry I will be there so look forward to seeing if i am right! Go Aussies! Boys,

I think there are 11 definites (the only 2 I don’t think are walk up starts are Moore (given recent form/ game time) and Carney. They will also be the preferred starting 11 for each match I woudl expect.

I think there is a real possibility Moore won’t make it. He is too slow and couldn’t keep up at A League level this year let alone World Cup. As mucy as i hate to say it I think Colosimo will get the nod before him.

As for Holman, you’re right – he polarises people. Personally I think he is useless and a waste of a spot. But for some reason the coaches don’t seem to agree.

Scott Mc Donald will go Pim told him he will be on the bench as an impact player. Ruka will go as well but he wont play he's made a few cameos and done alright (IMO i think pim should give him a start at the front man see how he goes). Holman for sure he's been injured but he has play a lot and played in CL were i might add he had a good game against Arsenal. Plz note football isnt a popularity contest (the most liked team doesn't win the world cup) Ryh and Kissa have the back line Milligan playing in the J2 league cemeted him not going to the the WC. Ryh is young and versitile and Kissa is good in the air (something pim loves) and has played well, Lowry hasnt played and is out of time but will probably be make the Asian cup. Federici and Galekovic have the keeper spots for me Covic isnt far off but i think Galekovic experience for the socceroos will take the 3rd spot were as Federici is probably the best keeper in the CCC (liverpool wanted him). Well thats my two cents you heard it 1st Carle overated pim would take Ora before he took Carle he’s been average at both club and national level Pims mentioned that, dont think anyone wants him to go after how he went in Kuwait.
