Australia’s playing team in Qatar FIFA world cup
Garang Kuol, a youngster who is set to sign with Newcastle United, was selected for Australia’s World Cup roster on Tuesday, but Tom Rogic, a midfielder, was not. The tournament begins this month.
Although he was a mainstay in their qualification run, striker Adam Taggart, who is living in Japan and has played 16 times for the Socceroos, was surprisingly left off the team. Taggart has scored six goals in his international career.
This made it possible for Jason Cummings, a former Scotland international who also has Australian citizenship, to earn a second cap for the Australian national team.
Forward Kuol, now playing with the Central Coast Mariners and set to make the move to the Premier League in January, earned his debut with the Solomon Islands national team in September against New Zealand.
Midway through September, Kuol celebrated his 18th birthday, making him the youngest Socceroo since Harry Kewell in 1996.
However, he has not yet started a game for the team he plays for in the A-League, and it is probable that Australia coach Graham Arnold would utilize him as a player who comes off the bench.
Arnold referred to the individual as “an 18-year-old child who has emerged out of nowhere and is on a new adventure in life.”
“We have seen numerous instances of this kind of event occurring in World Cups and other huge games, when players who are completely unknown come out of nowhere and stun the whole nation.
“As a member of the Mariners, Garang has shown his ability to significantly alter the course of a game.
“I brought him into camp against New Zealand, and he really integrated into the Socceroos family so well, and he is truly a guy who has zero fear,” he continued. “I brought him into camp against New Zealand because I wanted to see how he would perform.”
Rogic, a former star for Celtic who later joined West Bromwich Albion, withdrew from Australia’s crucial World Cup qualifiers in May, claiming personal reasons for his decision. Since then, Rogic has failed to make an impression with his new club.
Arnold said that Rogic, who has been selected 53 times for Australian football, had been “great,” but he had to choose in-form players, and he chose Middlesbrough’s Riley McGree and Italy-based Ajdin Hrustic. Rogic has won 53 caps for Australian football.
Arnold said that the choice was made because “at this point in time I simply thought it was a decision to make on the playing side.” “We need guys who are fit and ready,” he stated.
Mitch Langerak, a veteran goalkeeper who plays for Nagoya Grampus in the J-League and is largely regarded as the number two goalkeeper behind Mat Ryan, was also passed over despite being in the greatest form of his career at the time.
Instead, Arnold decided to go with Danny Vukovic and Andrew Redmayne, who were both instrumental in Australia’s victory against Peru in the penalty shootout that secured their spot in Qatar. Redmayne was the star of that match.
In the 26-man roster, Ryan and Mathew Leckie are the only players competing in their third World Cup. Seven other players are competing in their second World Cup. The remaining performers will be making their debut on the most prestigious stage in the world.
“It has been a one-of-a-kind and challenging qualifying campaign, and we now arrive in Qatar with an exciting group that will do all in their power to do Australia proud on the global stage,” said Arnold. “We are looking forward to competing in Qatar.”
Australia competes in Group D and will begin their tournament against France. Following that, they will take on Tunisia and Denmark.
Mathew Ryan (FC Copenhagen/DEN), Andrew Redmayne (Sydney FC/AUS), and Danny Vukovic (Central Coast Mariners/AUS) are the goalkeepers for their respective teams.
Aziz Behich (Dundee United, Scotland), Milos Degenek (Columbus Crew, United States of America), Thomas Deng (Aibirex Niigata, Japan), Joel King (Odense Boldklub, Denmark), Nathaniel Atkinson (Hearts, Scotland), Fran Karacic (Brescia, Italy), Harry Souttar (Stoke City, England), Kye Rowles (Hearts, Scotland), and Craig Goodwin (
Aaron Mooy (Celtic, Scotland), Jackson Irvine (St Pauli, Germany), Ajdin Hrustic (Hellas Verona, Italy), Bailey Wright (Sunderland, England), Cameron Devlin (Hearts, Scotland), Riley McGree (Middlesbrough, England), and Keanu Baccus (St Mirren, Scotland) are the midfielders for this team.
Awer Mabil (Cadiz, Spain), Mathew Leckie (Melbourne City, Australia), Martin Boyle (Hibernian, Scotland), James Maclaren (Melbourne City), Jason Cummings (Central Coast Mariners, Australia), Mitchell Duke (Fagiano Okayama, Japan), and Garang Kuol (Central Coast Mariners, Australia) are the forwards for this team. Garang Kuol plays for the Central Coast Mariners.
