Loads of bloated provisional squads already floating around.  In case you missed it, countries were asked to name up to 55 players on a 'long list' last month in case they need a Qatari visa sorting out.  But the proper squads are starting to come in.  26 players instead of 23 still, I don't suppose they will ever go back to 23 now.

These are the ones confirmed:

Think the Brazil squad is coming out in the next hour or so, @PMLF may be able to confirm.

A few "leaks" online about who has been left out.

Yes, the call up event has already started, so only a matter of minutes to have the squad.

As long as Dani Alves is alive, he'd be called up for Brazil. That's surprising... Thought Emerson Royal might get the nod. Yea he hasn't been that good, but I doubt Dani Alves has been any better.

And isn't Coutinho a Tite favorite? Thought at least Firmino would be in as well, but that forward list absolutely stacked.

Coutinho is injured.

Daniel Alves was average at São Paulo, average at Barcelona and now average at Pumas.

He has also played often in other positions (like winger) rather than right back in recent years.

Bit of a curveball tonight from the Danes. They have named 21 of their 26 players here but not announcing the final five names until next week. Going with a small provisional squad and then adding to it, rather than naming a big one and then taking people out.

Australian squad to be named in a few hours. Reports are number 2 goalkeeper Mitch Langerak has been left out of the squad for what must be a reason other than pure sporting reasons.

Why? What happened to Mitch? Are there any reports as to why?

Australia are one injury away from Redmayne starting at the World Cup :D

I don't know why he has not been picked if the reports are true but he is not injured as far as I know.

He did retire from international football because of the pandemic, but Arnold asked him to come out of retirement which he did.

Huddersfield's Yuta Nakayama has already been ruled out for Japan. He was named in their original squad, now injured, now we are waiting on Japan to confirm who they are replacing him with.

In other news, Shuto Machino has been drafted in for Japan to replace Nakayama. Plays for Shonan Bellmare in the J League, as if you didn’t know.

A striker replacing a central/left defender. I hope it's not a kamikaze act.

Jokes aside, if Moriyasu wasn't going to replace Nakayama with another defender, I still can't believe he passed up on Furuhashi. Guess he really doesn't fit in his system.

Were any of these injured?

No, not injured.

Rogic abandoned the team for the final qualifiers against UAE and Peru without giving a reason. He then was without a club all preseason after leaving Celtic. He has hardly played for West Brom since joining them so has no fitness or form so I do not find his non-selection much of a surprise

Langerak is a mystery to me, he is clearly a better keeper than Redmayne and Vuckovic and some fans even think he should be playing ahead of Ryan given Ryan's recent lack of game time. Langerak has been outstanding in the J-league. 

Sainsbury has not been performing well for the Socceroos recently and is only playing in the Qatar league. However with Kye Rowles and Harry Souttar both just returning from serious injuries it would not surprise if one of the two is unable to take their spot in the squad and Sainsbury replaces them.

Trent seems like a logical choice to me, but perhaps as he has had disappointing form.

Brad Smith and Tom Rogic also left out....

Brad Smith has done an ACL so could not be selected, but I doubt he would have been seriously considered even if he was fit.

I think Arnold's first choice LBs are Behich and King.

Many are wondering why King is selected ahead of Alex Gersbach or Callum Elder.

Elder seems to be out injured as he has not played since coming off at half time with hamstring problems in a match over a month ago.

How can Keita Balde be selected when he is serving a ban for doping related matters?

I know it expires during the tournament but still it surely cannot be allowed

Not 100% convinced it's the official list, but it looks like it could be - but strange for Baldé then!

Interestingly Roma youngster Christian Volpato was initially selected in the squad but declined the opportunity to go to the World Cup. It seems he wants to play for Italy and not Australia despite being born and growing up in Australia.

I'm not Australian, but I hope he fails to win anything just like Giuseppe Rossi did after he turned down USA. He could have been a massive star in the US and still won the same number of tournaments. Not to mention the amount of money he could have made on endorsements.

Big day today. As a minimum, expecting USA, Wales, Croatia and France to “drop”. That’s assuming the Wikipedia squad page is correct.

Might be a few others as well because there are plenty on there without a specific announcement date given.
