McDonald isn't really fat, hes just stout.

He is a good player, he links up well with Kennedy I guess just with all those high crosses into the box he can't get up for one like Jesus can :lol:

He is more of a "fox in the box" striker who burys anything from around 6-15 yards. He can hit a shot from 18 or further but much like when Keane was at Liverpool when your not scoring for a team you lose the confidence and don't shoot as often. I'm hoping he gets and takes his next couple chances or he might not get these starts for the Socceroos again, especially with youngsters like Burns and Djite coming through.
was suprised when djite wasnt named in the 22 man squad to play uzbekistan.

He isn't getting much game time in Turkey I don't think. Last I heard he was scoring reguarly in friendlies during the winter break but got injured, returned to fitness and has been a benchie/reserves striker since?

Can anyone confirm?

to be fair, they played at like 3300 metres altitude or whatever it is.

Not that, that excuses them, they got pumped, but bolivia home games are usually crazy tough.
