Two front-runners and one outsider vie for Schwarzer goalkeeper spot Mitchell Langerak. The common wisdom is that with Mark Schwarzer's retirement the battle to become Australia's number one is a race between two goalkeepers who cut their teeth in the A-League, former Melbourne Victory shot stopper Mitchell Langerak and former Central Coast Mariners custodian Matthew Ryan. Both have, belatedly, been capped by Australia, getting a half each in the 3-0 win over Canada last month when Aurelio Vidmar picked the team. Langerak had made his full debut in the previous game, the 6-0 shellacking at the hands of France, the match that cost Holger Osieck his job. Matthew Ryan. Its strange to say in the face of such a score line, but Langerak actually had a good game on that occasion, impressing most observers as the carnage went on around him. Langerak is the number two goalkeeper for Borussia Dortmund, one of Germany's top clubs, while Ryan is the first choice at Club Brugge, currently lying third in the Belgian top division.
