Dodd was robbed! 
Can understand O'Dor's omission though due to his lack of playing time.

Meh it's only a training squad - a lot of those players wont get
near a Socceroos shirt. lol @ Talay, Bolton and Durante though.
Elrich and Dodd haven't played well enough to make it imo. If Elrich keeps improving he might have a chance by the end of the season, however. Dodd might've had a better chance in a team that doesn't leak so many stupid goals. :(

I'm ok with this actually, because it means that our Aussie players
stay here and get on with the team build up to the important game
away against Melbourne on the Friday 11th.
Those selected have to spend 2 days in Sydney, for stuff all chance of getting in the team

Leaking stupid goals doesn't seem to have harmed Colosimo or
Topor-Stanley's chances.

I reckon that's fair enough. He was in the squad at Germany
2006 too.

It's a bit different. Topor-Stanley has been involved with the Olyroos for ages and was an automatic pick. Colosimo is a CM and has been one of Perths standouts.

They must have a severe shortage of young goalkeepers if they have
to include Tando Velaphi in their U23 squad. I reckon Stevie Wonder
would make a better keeper than Velaphi. Jag2008-01-03 12:30:58
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Velaphi isn't a bad backup to Vukovic. He has been involved in the
Olyroos in the past and that's why he is there. He had a terrible
game against us but before that he was pretty solid. The only
additions = Zullo and Kruse I think. valeo2008-01-03 12:38:02

Stevie Wonder. Too old for the under 23 team and not Aussie.
Played a few blinders in his day though.

Surely Verbeek wont field eleven of that lot against Qatar - they
could get seriously embarrassed. There's not much class and a lot
of window dressing for a very important WC match. Watch for the SOS
to go out to Europe soon.
Kevin Muscat!? Wow, that's desperate. Oh well, good luck
Kev, break a leg, mate....
