There was also plenty of criticism from former Socceroo Andy Harper and on social media, however several players didn’t have any issues with the surface. But if she’s this filthy at missing out on Meredith’s cloth, then we’re willing to bet she’s counting down every one of those 133 days.

“From our perspective we will get all that information today and pass it on to the players and staff and make sure everyone is comfortable with it, but the likelihood is we will go and play there Tuesday”.

“We have team leaders, they have a point of view”.

“The grass is monitored every day so the FFA were aware of how the turf was going”, she said.

“But we’re getting to a really good space and over the next few months I’ll expect more depth to develop”.

Postecoglou wants the Socceroos to have the advantage of playing on ideal surfaces when they play in Australia so they can make the most of their superior technical skills.

We feel for her. And she has a pretty long while to wait for the Socceroos’ next home match – against Tajikstan in March – when she can have another crack.

“I would have preferred we won 10-0, which we should have”.

“But when you look at the number of chances we created, the way we played our football, where we played our football, I was very happy”.

Midfielder Mark Milligan said the Socceroos did their best to maintain their natural style of play.

The five who met the qualifications following a series of integrity tests were: Prince Ali Al Hussein, Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa, Jerome Champagne, Gianni Infantino and Tokyo Sexwale, a Federation Internationale de Football Association statement said.

“While we are satisfied all parties have been able to put together a security operation to mitigate risk for the team heading to Bangladesh it is beyond the ability of FFA to implement and monitor safety plans for those outside the team”, Gallop said.

The news comes after Australian players said they would meet following Thursday night’s 3-0 win over Kyrgyzstan to discuss how they felt about the trip. We’ve got a couple on standby if we need to call them up.
