POPOVIC OUT OF CUP
Socceroos defender Tony Popovic is out of the rest of the Confederations Cup tournament in Germany.
The Crystal Palace central defender hurt his ankle in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Germany in Frankfurt.
The Aussie was on crutches today with what's believed to be a seriously sprained ankle after a tough challenge from German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Popovic said medical staff cannot fully assess the injury until the swelling in his ankle goes down, but he expects to be out for three to four weeks.
What a shame ;D

Great. Now Vidmar can return to the squad ;D ;D Poppa being ruled out is a blessing in a poor disguise. I have a feeling a back four of Neill, Moore, Ljubo, and McKain may just work, even though Ljubo and McKain are both natural central defenders. Maybe we could even play a 5 man defence with Ljubo and McKain as double stoppers in front of Moore, and Muscat out wide. I'd be fine with that, coz in truth I don't care if we beat Argentina or not.... victory would simply be icing on the cake. The real goal of this match shoud be to hold Argentina scoreless, not out of fear of their ability, but rather to get some faith back in our defence. And besides, if the defence doesn't improve, we will get slaughtered. End of. |

When I saw the lineups, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Did a bit of both, then went back to bed.
Low on cash, so will perform assasinations etc. upon the squad's return to Australia. Who's in?
