Football Federation Australia has named the first Qantas Socceroos squad of 2007 for the international match against Denmark to be played at Loftus Road, London, England on 6 February. Head Coach Graham Arnold selected an all European-based squad the majority of which were part of the Australian team that drew 1-1 with fellow World Cup finalist Ghana at Loftus Road in November 2006. "This match is very important to us as it is the first time we have been together as a squad this year," said Arnold. "We only have a few more games available to us before the Asian Cup so it is another vital preparation match."
