Olyroos squad to face Jordan on June 6th

The never ending round of qualifying games for the Beijing Olympics continues on June 6th. The Olyroos need a point away to Jordan to qualify for the next qualifying round. Yes there are three qualifying rounds. The pre-qualifying group, the current one known as the qualifying group the third stage.

Here's the frequent flyer squad. Cost for this one is nothing as all the lads have 100,000 plus frequent flyer points.

Canberran Nikolai Topor-Stanley is suspended so misses out on his chance to complete eight away games in eight countries in 4 months (For the record, he's done seven in Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Japan, Indonesia, China, Iran and Saudi Arabia.)

And he likes flying so much, he's signed for Perth Glory!

The19-man squad for the match against Jordan on June 6 is:
Leigh Broxham (Melbourne Victory), Nathan Burns (Adelaide United), Adam Casey (Sydney FC), Adam D'Apuzzo (Newcastle Jets), Bruce Djite (Adelaide United), Aaron Downes (Chesterfield, England), Troy Hearfield (Newcastle Jets), Neil Kilkenny (Birmingham City, England), Adrian Leijer (Melbourne Victory), Trent McClenahan (Hereford United, England), Mark Milligan (Sydney FC), Kristian Sarkies (Adelaide United), Tando Velaphi (Perth Glory), Dario Vidosic (Queensland Roar), Danny Vukovic (Central Coast Mariners), Nick Ward (QPR, England), David Williams (Brondby, Denmark), Ruben Zadkovich (Sydney FC)

The third stage features 12 teams split into three groups and will be held from August 22 - November 21, with only the three group winners representing Asia at the Beijing Olympic Games.

It never stops this Asia stuff does it. Think we might need a few more players in years to come.

Should Asia change the Olympic qualification route? I say yes, what do you say?
