Australian National Team Thread - #ArnieOut!

Hopefully we get old mate Jason Cummings into the Socceroos fold. Not sure how legit the contact with the FFA has been, but should throw him a cap and see what happens.

Steady on, getting around Lovren is no achievement. His resume should see him in line for a call from Robbie Fowler, not Graham Arnold.

Theres a few more guys other than Souttar that werent let go either. Iredale got injured right before and Arnie said he was bolted on as his no.9

FIFA and the AFC have agreed to postpone the March and June qualifiers unless both nations agree to play them and the AFC also agrees. So I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s no NT game in a few weeks.

Was looking forward to seeing the boys come back to Perth lol guess I’ll just have to wait some more :joy:

If you go to the Socceroos Facebook or YouTube channel now they are streaming the 2006 Uruguay game in full. Only about 4 minutes in.

With the olympics delayed a year, how does that work with age restrictions? I’m guessing they just make an exception for anyone who was under the required age at the date originally planned?

Also, does that mean the full awesome foursome will be available now as their suspensions will have finished?

My understanding is that anyone qualified to be in the Olympics at the moment, will be automatically qualified when it’s actually run

I like these classic match replays. I might tune in.

When you watch this, remember Frank Farina was our coach back then. Imagine what we could’ve done with a real coach!

Oh man watching in 4:3 format is going to be rough.

I’d also forgotten this was Rooney’s first England game.

I can’t get it to cast to my TV, anyone else?

I watched this in the old one world sport bar in Darling harbour and walked home to North Sydney in my England shirt afterwards - i copped a lot of abuse from cars walking through the city! I never knew there were so many football fans in Sydney!!
