The Australia U23 played against the Japanese U23 around the same time as the NZ matchJust thinking we should have pretty much played our U/23 squad against NZ here. Its more important that they are match fit then Lucas Neill or Kennedy. Plus we got the bonus of hopefully securing a few players with dual citizenship to Australia!

I'm sure they could have played a few days later like the seniors did.The Australia U23 played against the Japanese U23 around the same time as the NZ matchJust thinking we should have pretty much played our U/23 squad against NZ here.

Re: Asian Olympic Qualifiers
The draw is out:
Group A: Korea Republic, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman.
Group B: Australia, Iraq, Uzbekistan, UAE.
Group C: Japan, Bahrain, Syria, Malaysia.
Some potential slip ups there, particularly UAE & Uzbekistan away, however it should achievable.
Japan should waltz through group C. Group A is probably the hardest as Oman's dispatching of China with some ease brings them into contention.

Hardly the group of death as four four two were making out. It probably is the hardest, but if they don't make it thru there is definately something wrong!The draw is out:

Re: Asian Olympic Qualifiers
This is the main point I guess. It is good to be challenged as when things go wrong a more focused assessment of what needs to be improved can be done incrementally. It's the only way to prepare properly for a tournament.Hardly the group of death as four four two were making out. It probably is the hardest, but if they don't make it thru there is definately something wrong!
That said all the other sides in our group are also going to fancy their chances; and not without reason.
