Socceroos coach Verbeek snubs locals

New Socceroos coach Pim Verbeek has lived up to his distaste for the A-League, with Queensland Roar captain Craig Moore the only local selected in the starting eleven for tonight’s World Cup qualifier against Qatar at Melbourne’s Telstra Dome.

The majority of the international contingent arrived in Australia on Monday, while goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer touched down yesterday. Verbeek has been an ardent critic of the local competition since taking the Australian job in December.

Teams

Australia: Schwarzer (gk), Neill (c), Moore, Cahill, Culina, Emerton, Wilkshire, Kennedy, McDonald, Carney, Bresciano. Coach: Verbeek.

Qatar: Saqr(gk), Amaral, Al Ghanem, Abdulla, Koni, Sattam (c), Afifi, Abdulla, Ibrahim, Al Bloushi, Cesar. Coach: Fossati.
