Kerr finished second in the Football Writers’ Association Women’s Footballer of the Year award to Chelsea team mate Fran Kirby.

1391

How?

1392

Apparently Arnie is to announce his picked squad with Peacock live on Fox/Kayo as well as the foxfootball podcast on Wednesday. ( I might have the day wrong)

1393

I didn’t know this guy was assistant coach of the Socceroos until now. Not a bad CV he has.

1394

When is this Socceroos squad actually being announced? Almost forgot what it’s like to see Australia play a game of football.

1395

It was never that great from memory…frustrating and annoying with an eventual empty feeling after a loss or turgid draw we should have won.

But I saddled up every time!!

1396

I think they played a game in 1997 but I’m not sure.

Wow Karacic, forgot all about him.

Would’ve liked to see some left field picks like Deni Juric and Caleb Watts and see what they’re about.

Congrats to Tongyik.

Those 2 are in that mostly Euro based olyroos squad

1403

Tongyik is an interesting one. Genreau I dont think deserves it.

So Pavlisic eh?

1404

Let’s see if he can avoid dying 10 minutes into his first game again

So happy for Ruon Tongyik. Has been immense this season and is genuinely one of the A-League’s nice guys.

The poor fella misses out on being an Olyroo by three days, otherwise he would have been a certain starter in Tokyo.

Why no Mooy or Rogic, our 2 best players. Well Mooy at least

1407

Wow that really is taking the absolute piss. Bouzanis could step in to do that. He’s just finished his season on a high and is actually a higher level player than non-league, he just did a year of that to be with Steph Catley, which is a pretty bloody good reason, we can all agree.

1408

Why the fuck does he need 4 keepers?

1409

In case three get injured dummy.
