5 of their starting team is A league players… which shows that it not a bad level at all.. Their reserve striker plays in J league meanwhile ours can’t get a game for Mansfield. Their game vs Indonesia the other day had only 2 a league players starting, so popa is rotating Ninja

This Australia team is not that impressive, is it a 2nd team? I might be out of the loop.
But seriously, our current team would beat this lot.
They have alot of injuries. We would need our EPL striker and some luck to be a chance. It's been detailed elsewhere but they are better than us. Far greater depth. The rankings and our/their recent results show it. They draw 2-2 against Mexico stateside, we make the the same trip and lose easily 3-0.
Poppa has them grinding out results. They had a 1-1 draw in Japan. I'd be ecstatic if we got within 1 goal of the Blue Samurai away.
Irvine (in great form) has them up 1-0 up in front of a big loud crowd in Hangzhou.
Edit - Velupillay makes it 2-0 with a gift from the Chinese keeper.
Edit 2 - Socceroos up 2-0 at HT and cruising. Simon Hill calls China 'awful'.
Appreciate the depth, but this current lineup is mostly A-league players. We for sure would beat them with our first 11.
