After watching in frustration for years as Frank Farina employed similar team sheets and ineffective formations, the time has come for us to create a team of all-rounders who will best represent our country.I suggest that we compile a list of the best possible 11 Australians + subs that will win us the world cup. After my recent consultations with Guus, he has decided this is a great idea. He wants to employ a 4-4-2 system and has given us the whole Australian population to choose our squad from. The time has come to put forward ur suggestions, with sound reasoning, and create the greatest team in the history of mankind (in a close 2nd is the lithuanian pole-vaulti
ng team).I will begin by nominating:
GK - Justin Moffatt. We need a cool head at the back, one who can command the troops with wisdom, knowledge and occasional wisecracks. Definitely the delegated inspirational team talker before kick off, although there is the risk of player fatalities with the occasional outburst of passion from this inspired speaker,
resulting in wildly swinging arms which are lethal at close quarters.RB - David Boon. Rough as guts with the dinky-die attitude, who could go past this moustache. Imagine the likes of ronaldinho and henry trying to outfox the agility of this man who's hobbies include tai-chi and the dance machine game at time zone. attackers practically give the ball to him after one look at those flaming red cheeks and harsh stubble.
SUB - Steven Bradbury. This nomination is almost unneccesary. While being the top Australian Olympian in the history of the Games, he has also perfected the technique of snatching a win out of the grasp of the competition. Opposition will often end up on the ground.
Post your suggestions here.

Eric Bana (in the Full Frontal days) for Left Middy. The striking resemblance between Bana and Pires guarantees high quality skills.
Clearly Ray Thistlewayte needs to thrown into the mix. I reckon he'd slot in nicely at Centre Mid, has the desired vocal and rythmic guitar abilities to command the troops from the middle. He also has a stylish mullet with comes with some ingeniously styled facial hair - sure to attract supporters.
I second Eric Bana - but i the Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read mould. Who's going to try and go past the big man?
I would also like to nominate Kerry Packer.. I know he's a bit stiff these days. .but he could buy us a win if need be, especially from a game against some Koreans or Iraqis..
yup
ps. .nice pics of madrid.. gold indeed!
if we are gonna bring in some more 'experienced' members, such as the packman... u gotta include:
barry crocker - for being in the dictionary. He has also won 4 'mo' awards. In my world thats some well maintained facial hair.
john mcenroe - token annoying guy who shouts at the ref.
paul hogan - tbe 'real' croc hunter, all others (ie steve irwin) should be exiled. And he was a painter on the Harbour Bridge before he became an actor. Hero.
Plugger Lockett for Keeper. Large leaper. Expert catcher. Top bloke. Fast movement may be an issue.
I could be cheerleader...
I know its a big call but the team definitely needs a captain, and who would be more suibtable than the leader of this fine nation than John Howard himself. Im not personally a fan, he is ageing at 60 years, but he would be good for all the on camera stuff, hes very verbose and confident in front of an audience also a great lier which is a pre-requisite for any soccer player in the world cup as they try to convince the fans that the other team was playing dirty. Definitely a consdieration...
Thank to his relentless morning walks, John Howard has also peaked in his fitness levels at the age of 60 odd. Additionally, no striker in the world can evade those eyebrows. Why not throw 'Fat' Beazley into the fray?
Humprhey Bear - tantalizing performances on live broadcasts have proven that he does not succumb to pressure and is sure to dazzle the crowds with his quick footwork.
harry potter from channel 10 news.
Mel Gibson - pretty much guaranteed to win about 5 penalties a game, based on his convincing performances in 'what women want' and 'signs'.
Joey Johns - pure magic. whether u love the knights or only like them alot, you have to admit that his skills are probably superior to that of the best sportsman ever - david batty.
Daniel Johns - once wrote a song about himself, titled 'freak'. this pretty much describes his potential as wingback. freak.
Just realised we are missing some figures that have changed the course of Australian history.
Two neccessary nominations from the Kerrigan family, Darryl + Dale, are vital additions. Dale could provide on-field commentary to keep the team's morale high.
I suggest that Eric Bana be the superstar of the team. If we triple split his personality between the Troy 'Robert Pires' look, the Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Reid and now the master of kickboxing, Con Petropoulous, we would have a secret weapon to unleash...
And sorry to continue the castle fest, but Farouk would be an explosive sub.
Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.
And the Crowe. Big Russell is stronger than tony carroll. And smarter than him too. Maybe.
I think the real hero of us Australians has to be Sir Richie Benaud. This man has called 500+ cricket games in his life passing the milestone in the 5th test at the Oval, Eng v Aus. i think it is ludicrous that no one has suggested this man yet and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
seeing as richie will die by half time, we will need to include a top notch replacement, and michael slater's dazzling performances behind the mike (da-daaa...MAX) have revealed the genius that is Michael '219' Slater.
