I think we have a great chance in the Olympics, Moore at the back and Cahill making late runs into the box should make a world of difference.

Argentina
Italy
Portugal
Paraguay
Greece
Ghana
Mali
Australia

Argentina and Portugal are stand outs, i hope we go well at least and put up a good fight...

And Moore's chance to impress and get himself a new club and in the process tell Alex McLeish to go f**k himself.

Wouldn't surprise me if he went to Everton, Aston Villa or some other mid table club.

 

[marc71178]

McLeish is acting 100% properly here IMO - Moore chose to go at his own request - so a cash-strapped club don't need him.

 

[Craig]

Yet it is not ok for a manager to have a go at country for calling up its own players?

 

[Simon]

hopefully craig gets a new club soon, hes too good to be sitting the reserves for a team like Rangers, id like to see him in the premiership for sure...

 

[thewizard1o1]

Craig shouldn't have any problems at all getting a club after he wins a gold with the Aussies in Athens. Villa would be a good Club for him imo.

There's a difference between a player who is qualified to play (as in an U23) and one who puts his hand up and publicly states he wants to play when he would be an overage.

Moore is showing no regard for the club that pay his wages in his actions, and when the club is in such financial trouble, that is wrong.

 

[Simon]

theres more to it that this one off instance of Moore wanting to play in the olympics...

 

[marc71178]

That is the straw to break the camels back.

 

[Waughney]

Australia, Argentina or Portugal.

So had Brazil made it, and Ronaldo had mentioned interest at playing at the Olympics as an overage player, there shouldn't/wouldn't be a problem by Real Madrid then?

Villa would be ideal as they have top flight status almost secure (they are too good to go down IMO).

Are Real Madrid brassic?

He'll only go to a poor Premier side, and Villa are far too good for him.

 

[Simon]

Australia started with a 1-1 draw with Tunisia overnight, a decent result, but we were hoping for better. Argentina beat Serbia 6-0.

Our Women lost to Brazil 1-0, no shame there...

 

[Craig]

I'm just annoyed they didn't show it.

Are channel 7 showing the football or SBS? Ch 7's coverage of football in Australia is a joke.

So then why have been/are they linked with him?

But I forgot, if you play in Scotland you are hopeless (being sarcastic).

8.30 Ch.7 (both the men and the ladies)

It will only be highlights though...
