Talk, talk, talk. We’ve heard a lot of it from the Socceroos at this World Cup. They’ve talked about the referees, they’ve talked about the media. They’ve even talked about how they don’t want to talk. But when they run out against Serbia at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit, their actions will speak louder than any [...]

With only days to go until the Socceroos shape up against powerhouse Germany, many questions remain and debates open for discussion. The one on most people’s minds is the spot alongside Jason Culina in the holding role in midfield.

Schwarzer’s out, Chipperfield will be rested and Kewell was never in consideration. Just three weeks away from Australia’s clash with Germany, the worrying threat of injury looms over the Socceroos squad, particularly after New Zealand’s declaration that they will not “hold back” at the MCG tonight.

Pim Verbeek read out 31 names the other day, including regulars such as Tim Cahill, Harry Kewell, Vince Grella, Brett Emerton, Scott Chipperfield and Lucas Neil. However, his decision to include some youth cannot be ignored, and should be applauded.

Pencil these 13 names in as certainties for the Socceroos’ World Cup squad. Mark Schwarzer, Lucas Neill, Craig Moore, Scott Chipperfield, David Carney, Luke Wilkshire, Tim Cahill, Mark Bresciano, Vince Grella, Brett Emerton, Jason Culina, Josh Kennedy and Harry Kewell.
