Socceroos Squad 2022: Our Predicted Australian Team For The FIFA World Cup
DMARGE predicts the team for the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Australia is going to the tournament for a fifth successive time. Graham Arnold's team beat Peru 5-4 in a penalty shootout in June. They will play in Group D with France, Denmark and Tunisia. The team was drawn to play against France and Denmark in the 2018 World cup. DMARGY predicts who will make the 26-man squad.
Mathew Ryan is Australia's captain and has played all over the world. Andrew Redmayne was the hero against Peru back in June. Mitchell Langerak is out of international retirement ahead of this year's tournament. Central Coast Mariners’ keeper Danny Vukovic will be hoping to put his name in the mix.
Trent Sainsbury and Miloš Degenek are experienced centre back options for Graham Arnold. Harry Souttar is injured and Kye Rowles is out with a broken foot. Thomas Deng captained Australia in their 2-0 victory against Argentina at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Nathaniel Atkinson and Joel King are young prospects who could play at right- and left-back. Harrison Delbridge and Ryan Strain could also be called up.
Aaron Mooy, Jackson Irvine and Denis Genreau are expected to be included in the squad for the friendly against New Zealand. Adjin Hrustic and Riley McGree have also impressed in Europe. Tom Rogic is not a certainty to make the team. Riley, Connor Metcalfe and Keanu Baccus have impressed for their national team and could provide an injection of energy to the midfield.
Jason Cummings and Garang Kuol made their debuts for Australia against New Zealand. Awer Mabil and Mitchell Duke also scored goals against the All Whites. Daniel Arzani is struggling to make the squad after a difficult few years.
The Socceroos are expected to pick a 23-man squad for the FIFA World Cup 2022. The players who are most likely to be selected are Mathew Ryan, Andrew Redmayne, Mitchell Langerak, Trent Sainsbury, Miloš Degenek, Thomas Deng, Joel King, Nathanial Atkinson, Aziz Behich, Kye Rowles, Harry Souttar, Aaron Mooy, Jackson Irvine, Denis Genreau, Adjin Hrustic, Riley McGree, Connor Metcalfe, Jason Cummings, Martin Boyle, Garang Kuol, Jamie Maclaren, Mathews Leckie, Awer Mabil, Adam Taggart, and Mitchell Duke.
