Socceroos Squad will bring down 'the rain' in Manama

Mark Bresciano, Jacob Burns, Tim Cahill, David Carney, Chris Coyne, Jason Culina, Bruce Djite, Brett Emerton, Adam Federici, Richard Garcia, Vince Grella, Brett Holman, Josh Kennedy, Harry Kewell, Scott McDonald, Craig Moore, Lucas Neill, Michael Petkovic, Mark Schwarzer, Matthew Spiranovic, Shane Stefanutto, Mile Sterjovski, Carl Valeri, Luke Wilkshire.

Make up the 24 man squad to play Bahrain in Manama on Thursday the 20th of November. Will probably be only on Foxsports but I'm not sure of that or the time played yet.

Only Grella isn't a good chance of playing in this game. He's been added to the squad just in case he's miraculously healed, If they didn't put him in the squad and Kennedy performed a miracle on him he wouldn't be able to be flown over for the game.

Only one injury concern for Australia will make this game a possibly goal scoring cracker, maybe not as big as the 32-0 thrashing of American Samoa, but I'm guessing at least 4 goals for the socceroos.

The following is the Ozzy Football's choice of players and formation with Grella missing due to his hamstring injury.

What do you think? Tell us.

Djite and Troisi Delight Turkish Club Genclerbirlig with Draw

Two fringe members of the socceroos, Bruce Djite and James Troisi, both scored in a 2-2 draw for their Turkish club Genclerbirlig. So it seems Turkey delights other attack minded Aussies securing a league draw away to Denizlispor. Both goals were scored in the first half and both put Genclerbirlig in the lead.

Elswhere Scott mcdonald set up a goal for Cillian Sheridan and came close to scoring one himself in Cetics 4-2 win over fellow SPL side Hibernian.

In the EPL, Richard Garcia played 12 minutes plus injury time to round out Hulls 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion. Emerton and Grella both played in Blackburn's 1-0 loss to Middlesborough. Cahill is still suspended..

In the English championship, Sterjovski scored for Derby although they were beaten 3-2 by Blackpool.


Has anyone seen how Emmo and Vinnie go together at Blackburn? I haven't caught a match or even any footage of it.
