Message: [QUOTE="Hamm.0, post: 2148840, member: 1852"] Everyone makes very valid points and the answer is not clear cut. Firstly; SoO eligibility isn't effected, so that shouldn't (and I highly doubt) has weighed on any players mind. Secondly; for the strength of the WC, Austral;ia could have released EVERY player who is eligible to other countries, however they would run the very real risk of creating a mickey mouse competition not involving REAL national teams. Thirdly; the majority of these players WANT to play for Australia. They feel they are Australian and in any other profssion in the country, we would almost dmand that they claim their nationality as Australian. It definetly could have been a far more competitive competition, but it is also unfair to dictate to an Australian citizen that he indeed can't play for his country of nationality. [/QUOTE]
