Again, having watched a lot of AUS/NZ football recently and over the years, and even looking at the current Australian football lineups for the WC qualifiers, there's not many that I would immediately say guarantee a start over our current AW's bunch.

Sorry but you'll wrong. And our 3 scoreless efforts against them in recent years, our very different results against the same opponent (Mexico), and the FIFA rankings all back that up.

Wood & Libby make a starting ANZAC 11.
Stamenic, and maybe Old, Bindon plus Paulsen in a 23 man squad.

They have six RBs better than Payne or Roux.

The one major disappointment for me last night against Samoa was the continous poor standard of crossing into Wood. Too long, too short. Inexcusable against such a minnow. The Socceroos have players who would have ruthlessly delivered pinpoint to the big man.

Against the better teams we still look mostly toothless, and struggle to get our top EPL striker much into the game. Oh how he'd love to have just even one of his Forest hombres Anderson, Gibbs-White, Yates, Hudson-Odoi, Elanga as a NZ team mate.

But until Singh refinds his mojo, the low number of touches for Chris W in a white shirt may sadly continue. The 2nd half of the game in Dublin, and Garbett's lovely goal a year ago gave us a glimmer of hope. Sarpreet pulling the strings. But since then 4 games against non OFC teams for only Waine's very fortunate face plant USA goal.

This AWs squad has exciting potential, but we have inflated opinions of how good they really currently are. Apart from Wood, Bindon & a now injured Old, no one else has yet impressed in Europe this season. We would need a big slice of luck to beat a full strength Socceroos, and sans the Woodsman in a game the odds are less to 10%.
