Australia’s 2018 World Cup squad predicted: Who will make Socceroos’ 23-man squad?

 

Australians young and old will be vying for a plane ticket to Russia

 
The Socceroos will make their fourth straight appearance at a World Cup in Russia with a number of new faces and old heads pushing for selection.
New coach Bert van Marwijk will only be in charge of Australia for the tournament and is expected to pick solely based on current form with past exploits and future potential unlikely to sway the Dutchman.
As a result, a number of places are up for grabs and expect a few surprises when an extended squad announced on May 7 is cut to 23 names by June 4.

Coach

Van Marwijk took on the job saying his mission was to help Australia survive the group stage. He guided Holland to the 2010 World Cup final, and coached Saudi Arabia to an automatic berth in Russia from a group that included Australia. He said that gave him a good idea of Australia's strengths and weaknesses.
He will be the third Dutch coach to guide Australia at the World Cup, following Guus Hiddink in 2006 and Pim Verbeek in 2010.
