The decision spells the end of the 36-year-old’s interna- tional career after 96 games for his country. Postecoglou said the deci- sion not to select him in his provisional 30-man squad for the World Cup was not easy, adding he wasn’t convinced the defender could cope with the rigours of football’s show- piece event. “In terms of form and fit- ness, there just wasn’t enough evidence there for me to say that he would be able to hold up in the World Cup,” said Postecoglou, who informed Neill of his axing a week ahead of officially announcing Australia axe captain Neill from provisional World Cup squad his squad out of respect for the player. Either Crystal Palace mid- fielder Mile Jedinak or former Everton stalwart Tim Cahill are favoured to be named captain for the World Cup next month. Australia have Spain, the Netherlands and Chile in their group. Neill, who made his inter- national debut in 1996, has led Australia 60 times but has struggled for game time since last November. He finally signed with English championship team Watford in February before a loan move to Doncaster Rovers. Since Postecoglou was appointed coach following the sacking of German Holger Osieck last October, many of the veterans from Australia’s 2010 World Cup campaign have called it quits, includ- ing Mark Schwarzer, Harry Kewell and Brett Emerton. AFP League will take place at the new Soi Ta Ied Stadium on Tuesday, May 27. Tickets are B1,200 for general seating and B2,000 for VIP.
