Best Australian XI?

[mikeyjj]

With World Cup Qualifers coming up and the growing number of Australians playing in Europe and Asia, the choice of a starting eleven is not as clear cut as it once was. This is my suggested Australian line-up.

AUSTRALIA (4-3-1-2)

Bosnich (Man United Reserves)

Vidmar (Glasgow Rangers)
Zelic (1860 Munich)
Moore (Glasgow Rangers)
Tiatto (Manchester City)

Emerton (Feyenoord)
Okon (Middlesborough)
Skoko (Racing Genk)

Kewell (Leeds United)

Agostino (1860 Munich)
Viduka (Leeds United)

Possible Subs: Sterjovski (Lille), Lazarides (Birmingham City), Foxe (West Ham), Aloisi (Coventry City), Laybutt (Feyenoord), Ergic (Juventus)

[FANTA]

schwarzer

muscat - moore - t. vidmar

emerton - okon - skoko - lazaridis

kewell

viduka - agostino

subs: kalac, zdrilic, popovic, tiatto, murphy, zane, bresciano

world cup ? hmm maybe ... most probable opponents will be uruguay for that final spot.

personally I reckon we have the players to play a 3-5-2 unfortunately Farina likes the 4-4-2 so here goes

Bosnich


Muscat--Moore--Popovic--Lazarides

Emerton-Okon-skoko-Tiatto

Viduka--Kewell

or
vidmar instead of Lazarides

emerton-okon-kewell-Tiatto

viduka-Agostino

Kewell's best position is an attacking midfield playmaker role, but for some reason he keeps being played left mid.


Is simunic an australian player or has he decided to play for coatia? b/c I heard hes in some great form.

you think bosnich over schwarzer ?



Schwarzer

Emerton Moore Muscat Vidmar/Lazaridis

Okon Skoko Lazaridis/Tiatto

Kewell

Viduka Agostino



emerton has been starting at right back lately for feyenoord and he likes to go forward alot and take some shots so i think he'll be right at that position. i think we must play kewell-viduka-agostino together. agostino is a top scorer in the bundesliga and kewell and viduka have a good combination at leeds and i see a lot of chances coming from those 3.

:thumbsup:

yeh right now youd have to pick schwarzer over Bozza, Im just hoping bozza starts getting game time, b/c I really think hes a better keeper than schwarzer.

and I agree abt having agostino, dukes and kewell all playing,

emerton is a gun, he can play anywhere on the right side

I agree with tiger's line up except for Schwarzer over Bozza
