Just a bit a info - Aussie legend and former Everton and Millwall forward Tim Cahill is playing his final international match tonight against the might of Lebanon. It will be his 108th cap and is the Socceroos leading goalscorer. Not bad for a midfielder! Good on ya Timmy.
I wouldn't imagine there is much competition though. Mark Viduka and Harry Kewell spring to mind, and neither of those would have played half those games (should look up before asserting this, but cannot be bothered)

Game finished 3-0 but the result was immaterial , Tim got 10 mins and is still walking around the Olympic stadium signing autographs taking selfies.
Those 2 you mentioned were highly regarded in their day and also have hero status, but never really made the world notice until Cahill came along.

The draw for the qualifying groups for 2020 Euros is being made next month I think, with the first matches in the spring before the finals of nations league, so we will definitely be in a group playing qualifying matches, however by getting to this point in the nation league we are guaranteed a place in the play offs for Euros if we don't qualify from the group.

Cheers mate...so just a bit of a buffer incase the main qualifying campaign is a bit of a mess.
 
Gazza made his debut for Argentina in the 59th minute in the early hours of this morning. Argentina won 2-0. Lamela also started the game, Foyth was an unused sub after his MOTM display on his debut the other day. Good to see all the lads got minutes over the past couple games, they’ve all been in great form for us so it’s fully deserved.
 
Not the news Colin ****er wanted to hear...

There's an awful lot riding on the progress of Troy Parrott. If he is the rightful successor of Robbie Keane, then Ireland could have a player to build around. Without him making it at the highest level, there's some lean years ahead, no matter who's selecting the team.

The first problem is everyone keeps comparing Parrott to Keano, when anyone whose ever watched him play sees his far closer to Harry Kane
 
Gazzaniga save just after coming on:

Lamela assist for that Inter prick, barely a minute into the game:
