The Australian national team manager Holger Osieck has said that he is extremely disappointed following his team's 3-1 defeat at the hands of Scotland in a recent friendly match. Holger Osieck was coming into the match saying that he would like to take a lot of positives from the friendly. Scotland may be in the transition, but they are much better on paper according to the Australian national team manager. However, he was given a wake-up call to the opportunities of Australia qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup when the team suffered a 3-1 defeat.

Australian national team manager Holger Osieck has revealed that he will not be resting his players for the match against Oman knowing that they will have to face one of the best teams in the Asia in the form of Japan on Tuesday night.

Holger Osieck has confirmed that there will be no high profile players absent from the match against Oman. He has said that he has made this decision after understanding the full importance of the match against Oman. Australia have already lost to Oman in the previous World Cup qualifier match.

It looks like the Australian national football team will be taking part in the next year's East Asian Cup after all.

The inclusion of the Australian national football team into the tournament demanded the voting of major footballing countries like Japan.

Football Federation Australia have begun steps to introduce a new team from Sydney after it was revealed that $ 10.3 million funding has been set aside for the new team to begin all the necessary work required to be inducted into the A-League.

This move comes after the A-League was reduced to just 9 teams following the suspension of Gold Coast United. The owner of Gold Coast United – billionaire mining magnate Clive Palmer – was extremely outspoken in his criticism of the A-League. As a result, his A-League was cancelled immediately and his team were expelled from the competition.

The Asian football Federation and the FIFA have thrown in their support to the Australian football Federation after a new arrival has been launched by billionaire businessman Clive Palmer.

Football Australia has been launched as a rival for the Australian football Federation, but it seems that FIFA and other major organisations are ready to back the original.
