Cahill will (literally) put it all on the line and that's why he needs to be in the squad.

The Aussie player I think might make the biggest difference is Rogic

No Schneiderlin either........what a shocker

 

[Westend Blue]

No Schneiderlin either........what a shocker

Interesting I would of had Rabiot, Laporte, Benzema in at the min

 

[WA Toffee]

No Schneiderlin either........what a shocker

Those 9 players would win against the entire Australia squad.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Much like 2002 and 2010, the team most likely to beat the French will be themselves. If they can sort themselves out and play as a team, at the top of their game maybe only Brazil, possibly the Germans, would be able to compete with them.

Those 9 players would win against the entire Australia squad.

I think they’d beat most teams.

 

[kenada_blue]

No Schneiderlin either........what a shocker

And it's news that Joe Hart or Jack Wilshire aren't going lol

[SupaStake]

Straya to win the lot and Mat Ryan to do a shoey

 

[McBain]
