Two Canberrans in final Socceroos squad, and seven A-League players.

Canberra's Nikolai Topor-Stanley and Carl Valeri, two Tuggeranong United juniors who played in the same Under 11 side, have been named in the final 21 Socceroos for tomorrow's game against Qatar.

Given the amount who went through the AIS, sure the whole squad is Canberran..or almost:)

Well done Nikolai.

Pim Verbeek said,

"I now have a squad of 21 players which will be reduced to 18 for the match tomorrow."

"I want to thank the players who have departed for attending the camp for their participation and contribution.

"The 2010 World Cup campaign is a long and challenging journey and everyone will play their part to help us qualify for the World Cup."

Remaining players in contention for the final squad are:

John Aloisi, Mark Bresciano, Jacob Burns, Tim Cahill, David Carney, Ante Covic, Jason Culina, Brett Emerton, Brett Holman, Josh Kennedy, Scott McDonald, Craig Moore, Lucas Neill, Jade North, Mark Schwarzer, Archie Thompson, Nikolai Topor-Stanley, James Troisi, Carl Valeri, Danny Vukovic, Luke Wilkshire.
