#7 - Popovic’s Way: Qualifying by Loyalty

In this episode of Green and Gold FC, we’re joined by James Jarvis from The Soccerwhos to break down the latest Socceroos squad — and we’re asking the big questions.

Is Popovic keeping selections ‘in the family’? Are we risking talents like Alex Robertson and Volpato by refusing to chase them? We unpack the selections of Ryan Teague and Nishan Velupillay, the omission of Max Balard, and the curious case of Nectarios Triantis.

We also review the wins over China and Indonesia — who stood out, who didn’t, and what it tells us ahead of the crucial Japan and Saudi Arabia clashes. Is Popa’s short-term success coming at the cost of long-term planning?

All that and more, right here on Green and Gold FC.
