Australia vs Qatar: Craig Moore or Chris Coyne?

Craig Moore or Chris Coyne are not exactly world class celebrity in football. I wonder how many people outside of Australia know their names. However, in the match against Qatar, one of them will play in the defense. Now, there is a lot of speculation about who of these two players will be included in the starting line up on this Wednesday.

The Australian reported:

Verbeek's decision on who will partner captain Lucas Neill in the centre of Australia's defence has been a major talking point since Verbeek recalled Moore for the match with the group leaders at Suncorp Stadium.

A star of the Socceroos' World Cup campaign in Germany, Moore, who is the captain of A-League club Queensland Roar, is tipped to get the nod to start in front of his home crowd ahead of Coyne, who has had little game time recently with his English League One club, Colchester.

However, another name was thrown into the mix yesterday, with young-gun Matthew Spiranovic training alongside Chipperfield.

So, you can see that it is a difficult choice for the coach. Of course, the coach wants to win the match. The Australian team has become some weak because of absence of some players in the midfield.
