Flanagan and Hill named in Socceroos Squad

42 players in the Squad. Take that Qatar:) but still no place for you. If you can't get named in a Socceroos squad of 42.....give it up!

There's guys who we've heard play overseas, (Jacob Burns) guys who don't train (Craig Moore) guys who've only played 4 or 5 games of professional football in their life (Jame Holland) guys who the Coach think is someone else (he calls John Hutchison Tom at training, is that why Tom Pondeljak is in?) guys who aren't coming (Harry Kewell) and reserve team players (James Troisi) and Flanagan (reads the game) and Hill (talks a good game).

He could have added my name or even yours just to say we got named in a squad. As we aren't going to pay either are we.

Verbeek said today: "I've deliberately kept the squad large."

The full list is: 3 to be omitted

Aloisi, Beauchamp, Bresciano, Bridge, Brosque, Jacob Burns, Cahill, Carle, Carney, Colosimo, Covic, Culina, Djite, Dodd, Emerton, Flanagan, Grella, A & J Griffiths, Hill, Holland, Holman, Kennedy, Kewell, McDonald, Milligan, Moore, Muscat, Musialik, Neill, North, Pondeljak, Schwarzer, Archie Thompson, Thwaite, Topor-Stanley, Troisi, Valeri, Vargas, Vukovic, Wilkshire, and You.

Eamonn Flanagan (reads the game..sometimes)
Simon Hill ( talks a good game)
Yourself (scored in Futsal this year...recovered from injury so worth a look, don't play in the EPL, more experienced than James Holland etc etc..fill in your own category here...so I have.)
