They'll be wheeling Archie out onto the pitch in 2030 I'd say...

North
Carney
Milligan
Spiro
Valeri
Archie (Though I actually love him and he was outstanding last game - but we HAVE to invest in yoof! Tombides please.)

They are all questionable. Some of these guys can't even get a run in J2.
Like to have seen McGowan, Lowry and Troisi. And would take Wilko over Milligan pr North any day of the week.

I know it won't happy because Holger seems to always play 4-4-2 but I would like to see this in the friendly game against Denmark.

-------------Federici------------

---Williams--Neill--Spiranovic---

Herd--Bresc--Jedi--McKay--Kewell

--------Kennedy----Holman---------

Bench

Schwarzer
Wilkshire
Kruse
Brosque
Og
Valeri
Zullo
Ruka
Cahill

Can't see it happening - but I love it!! To extend it - give license to Bresc and Harry to pick their times to join the stikers on occasions for a 3-4-3 and have Herd or McKay drop back for a 4-4-2 when needed.

Wonders aloud why James Troisi is not in the squad ...

I know. He had issues in leaving his club, but he was golden boot wasn't he?
Really surprises me, clearly a player for the future. How does Kruse (who I don't mind) but for example can't get on in Bundesliga 2 get a call up over Troisi?
