Volpato is a bit of a mercenary - pledges allegiance to Italy - they don't qualify for WC so he reneges and pledges for Australia. Italy's loss our gain i suppose.

I just reckon he was split . Also the Italians put a shit tonne of pressure young kids to all declare for them if they have a choice ie. play for us or you have no future in Italian football . But with thier mediocrity now in European football , and the fact he wasn’t picked despite this , they probably eased up on him .
I know Christian Vieri for example came real close to declaring for us . Ultimately he probably made the right choice and had a mad career , but yea apparently it was a hard choice for him .

What do you think TO, I reckon apart from injuries the best available ?
Interesting that Volpato in but assume he only made himself available with that guarantee already assured.
Go the Socceroos !

Champion @Halbrowne61, mate - it's the World Cup.
Every game is like a final and it's so good to see every player go for it.
Re team selections, like every sport, there's going to be "favourites."
I just trust the coach and "Green and Gold" all the way.
Can't wait.
I have a friend who is Italian - he's so upset about their missing out.
So enjoy the ride. ⚽️

Champion @Tiger Woods,
I'm worried about the USA as home team - going to be tough all the way.
But the Socceroos always play out of their skin at WC so let the FUN begin 😉
