Tim Cahill makes Socceroos squad as Bert van Marwijk names maiden Aussie team for 2018 World Cup . . .

New Socceroos coach Bert van Marwijk has retained four uncapped players in his maiden 26-man squad for World Cup warmups against Norway and Colombia.
Japan-based winger Andrew Nabbout, Newcastle Jets midfielder Dimitri Petratos, Czech Republic-based defender Aleksandar Susnjar and Belgium-based goalkeeper Daniel Vukovic will press for international debuts away to Norway on March 23 and fellow World Cup qualifiers Colombia in London on March 28.
Veteran goalkeeper Brad Jones, midfielder Joshua Brillante, and defender James Meredith all return after varying absences to the squad, which retains the core of the side that defeated Honduras in an intercontinental playoff to qualify for Russia.
Long-serving striker Tim Cahill has been retained in the squad, despite very limited playing time with Millwall in England's second tier.
He remains in a forward set-up featuring Tomi Juric, Robbie Kruse and Mathew Leckie.
Langerak, striker Jamie Maclaren and Alex Gersbach are the players omitted from a 29-man group named last week.
Van Marwijk said the squad was selected after an intensive scouting period since he was named Socceroos coach for the World Cup in Russia. "I am looking forward to the chance to get together with the players and work with them for the first time and to get to know them," he said in a statement.

The weekend continues, and that brings us to Triple Play Day 2
Again, we are going to give you three games that you have to pick.
To win, you will need to predict the winner in all three games.
How to read the information provided:
In Game One below, it says
No. 2 Cincinnati (-7) vs No. 7 Nevada
This means that Cincinnati is the number 2 seed (2nd best team) in the Midwest Region. Nevada was the 7th best team (One is far better than Seven) in the Region. There are 16 teams in every region, so the 16 seed really sucks.
The (-7) means the "experts" think Cincinnati will win by 7 points
