  MASSIMO Luongo is still waiting to find out whether or not he will be part of the Australia squad for the World Cup.

If I l've worked the timelines out correctly, it'll be announced at around 1320 today.

Wouldn't it be great if he made it.

You have and whatever happens Spurs reserves -> Australia 27 in a year is pretty impressive.

I don't expect him to make this cut but you're quite right. Great achievement to catch the eye of the Aussies in a World Cup year.

I'd love him to go too. Unfortunately the competition for a place in the Aussie midfield is probably the hardest. So I fear the worst (best for stfc I suppose).

We'll see.

Twitter rumours are he is in due to other players injured

Yep hearing news that he is in the final squad! Fair play if right

Great for the Adver - local papers love a local angle on world news!

Guess Morshead is on his way to the airport to give us all the "local" aussie news!!

I debated the morality of supporting the Convicts, with a Town supporting mate in pub on Saturday. His take it is wholly unacceptable under any circumstances....my take he's our player, so we have to support him until such time as he's no longer our player, and if that means rooting for the Convicts so be it.

Really happy for the guy.

Australia are in a tough group and in my prediction competition I have them to finish dead last.

I doubt he'll get much if any game time but still good to have representation. Preston's Bailey Wright is in the squad too.

Good news. First representation since Tony Galvin in 1990 and McCloughlin in 1994

10 million quid move to Juve to follow. Well done Mass

Have you got that right? Mcloughlin was in 1990 after our play off win and Galvin only made a euro squad in 88. Fjortoft was in 1994 of course after he helped Norway qualify over England.

Of course in this day and age, you might just be fishing....

I got Australia in the sweepstake at work. Was hoping for the lowest points or lowest goal difference prize, but if Mass is involved it will be a bit harder to hope they are stuffed every game. Not sure I could ever bring myself to hope the Aussies win though.

"Aussie Aussie Aussie , oi, oi, oi " probably the most annoying chant ever.

It's a tough one.

Indeed, although that Hull City one might run it close.

ok. International chant. The Hull one is worse.

The Hull chant in itself is not that bad. It's the fucking 'mauling' action that warrants water-boarding.

I thought Fitzroy played but had he gone by then?

Yeah Fitz was long gone by France '98.

Its always nice to see a Town Player sat on the bench at the World Cup, with 10 midfielders, I think he will struggle to get on, but he should  hit the ground running for the start of the season, with some good quality training and fitness work with the Soccerroos

It's the 'USA...USA' chant for me.
