Kewell playing against Leichtenstein

Great news to hear that my favorite Socceroo, Harry Kewell, will be lining up against Leichtenstein tonight.

I guess if it were I picking the side however, I would probably be playing our most valuable player off the bench rather than playing out the entire match. I have a feeling Guus will also go down this path.

While I am sure we would be competitive without Harry in the side, he is far too valuable to our ability to turn around a match or to grab a match by the scruff of the next to risk him in this game. He is a match winner, and one of the few genuine match winners we have in the side. Personally, the only other player I would rate as someone who could win a match for us through a top line performance would be Mark Viduka. And I have commented on how many times Dukes has done so for the Socceroos (ie not very many) and as such, Harry's contribution to our chances of progressing is vital.

So I say, let him play for sure as he needs match fitness, however, let us just be careful given how valuable he is to our ultimate World Cup dream.
