MAT Ryan is the clear frontrunner in the battle to succeed Mark Schwarzer as our No.1 keeper for the World Cup in Brazil - but plenty can happen between now and next June.
The surprise retirement of Schwarzer has left a lot of questions as to who will get the job. As I have said many times before a day is a long time in football, so by that reckoning Brazil is an eternity away.
But right now Ryan is playing regularly and playing very well at Club Brugge in Belgium.
Players need to be playing every week and showing good form, and Ryan definitely has that requirement covered.
Super with his feet and an all-round excellent goalkeeper, he will relish the opportunity. Ryan will likely to get a chance to showcase his skills in the friendly against Costa Rica in Sydney on November 19.

Mitchell Langerak is the other goalkeeper in the squad. It must be said that Langerak is at a far bigger club in Borrusia Dortmund than Ryan's Club Brugge. And although Langerak is not currently No.1, every time he has been called upon, even in the pressure cooker of Champions League games, he has not only done well, but been an addition to last year's Champions League runners-up.
That means big game experience and pressure will not be a problem for him at all.

Of the goalkeepers playing in the A-League, Eugene Galekovic for Adelaide is as good as anyone, as is the Wanderers' Ante Covic, who was in the 2006 World Cup squad. Michael Theo is the most successful in terms of what he has won with Melbourne Victory and his current club, the Brisbane Roar. He worked with Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou during their successful time in Brisbane and knows Ange's requirements as much as anyone.
So one thing is for certain, there will be a hell of a fight for the No.1 position of the Socceroos.

Whoever prevails and wins that fight will have his work cut out at the World Cup, because they will be very busy.
As the late, great Brian Clough used to say, ''you win nothing without a good goalkeeper''. Well all of these goalkeepers are not only good, but very good.
Who eventually will get the nod will come down to two factors: who is playing regularly at the time, and who is performing the best.
Let the battle commence.
