I have this increasing sense of optimism, would you believe?

It's wild.

Australia traditionally underperform at World Cups.

We've only made the round of 16 twice.

And the last time in Qatar was...

A team of journeymen who somehow got through.

But this team is full of really solid young talent.

And all of a sudden, we're wondering how far can they go?

Not just get out of the group, but maybe push all the way to the round of 16 again.

Well, yeah, I think Ewan's gone.

So we can be a little bit more rude about the Scottish Premier League now.

But it would have leaned heavily on talent from Scotland.

But, yeah, now...

Now we've got a number of great young players, 23 or under, led by left wing back Jordy Boss, who's playing at Feyenoord.

He could be our best player and he's really got a future ahead of him.

Alessandro Cercati, who plays in Serie A, he's a central defender, another one to play

watch.

And up front, Motore has been scoring a bunch of goals for Norwich in the championship.

And the wildcard is a guy called Nestor Irencunda.

He's a winger, attacker, explosive player.
