Goalkeeper Adam Federici, Tando Velaphi The Offsiders Everyone is talking about the exclusion of
Burns and Djite.
Nathan Burns has signed for AEK Athens. Thank god it wasn't Norwegian side Brann Bergen and of course his mate Bruce Djite has aready gone to Turkey.
Good moves for our best young talent. They stayed in Australia, impresssed in the A-League, shone at times in the Asian Champions League and played a key role in getting the Olyroos to the Olympics.
Some of the players who will be on Olympic duty.
* Arsenal: Alexandre Song (Cameroon)
* Aston Villa: Brad Guzan (USA)
* Blackburn: Ryan Nelsen (New Zealand)
* Chelsea: Saloman Kalou (Ivory Coast)
* Everton: Victor Anichebe (Nigeria)
* Fulham: Adrian Leijer (Australia)
* Liverpool: Javier Mascherano (Argentina), Ryan Babel (Holland)
* Manchester City: Jo (Brazil)
* Manchester United: Anderson (Brazil)
* Portsmouth: Franck Songo'o (Cameroon)
* West Brom: Gianni Zuiverloon (Holland)
FIFA is having yet another meeting to review all that has already been reviewed so that the London
2012 games may be spared of a similar club vs country messi - ness.
After the hammering Bruce Djite got for his move to Turkey, Harry Kewell has followed by signing
with Galatasaray for 3 years. This must mean that the various Italian and Spansih talent scouts
gave him a big thumbs down.
It is a very curious move and it will be interesting to see what the financial inducement was.
It has been a long time coming for Rodrigo "Roddy" Vargas but he now finds himself on the
cusp of a national cap. 29 years old Vargas has been selected in Pim's twenty-three man squad to
take on Ghana on Friday 23rd of May in Sydney and it looks like he may get a start.
Vargas has been a standout performer for Victory in its recent AFC Champions League campaign.
