‘Roos of the future

The Socceroos have had an awesome impact during their 15 days at the Round Ball Footy World Cup in Germany 06. There’s been so much to reflect upon (and get very worked up about), but so much to look forward to.


See you, Boss. We love you. Don't forget about us over there in Russia.

Unfortunately, we all knew that our Maestro Guus would be leaving us, and now we’ve got to find ourselves a new Maestro to lead us through the Asian Cup, into the Beijing Olympics and on to ROUND BALL FOOTY GLORY IN 2010!!

RBF takes a moment to mull over some of the changes that will occur.

A new Maestro?

The big-money question. Who will it be?

It's hard to say, there'll be a lot of high-power discussions and wheeling-and-dealing in the FFA boardrooms. But Round ball Footy is sure of one thing:



Oh dear God, no!!!

We'll just leave you with that shocking thought ... just don't let it happen, Round Ball Footy fans!!




The retirees...

It’s the end of an era for many Socceroos, some of our golden oldies will be:


Tony Poppa, Workhorse Stan (pictured) and Capt’n Craig – they will lead an exodus into the A-League and international retirement.
Boxhead: soon-to-be A-League workhorse


(We don’t know where the Fumble-Spider will end up.)

It looks like Weezy and the mighty Shwarzenegger will continue on as regular starters till they drop dead – along with our ‘youngsters’: Boy-Wonder Lucas, Hero Timmy, Jason Culina, the Jaffle, Bresha, and the Mega Fauna himself, Joshua Kennedy.

(V-Bomber may try and have a few more kickabouts in the Green & Gold, but if he doesn’t score in his next 2 games, he’ll be outta there too.)



Onya boys!

I’m definitely aiming at still being around. My goal is to be there with Australia in 2010
