Scott Jamieson's Achilles injury likely to cost him chance of Socceroos call-up The Achilles injury suffered by Perth Glory left-back Scott Jamieson has probably cost him any chance of a dream call-up to the Socceroos for the 2014 World Cup in Rio. Glory coach Alistair Edwards said that the 25-year-old's form at the start of the A-League season should have had him in the eyes of the national selectors. But he is likely to miss the remainder of the 2013-14 season after he was stretchered from the ground late in the Glory's 2-1 loss to the Central Coast Mariners at nib Stadium on Saturday night. He underwent surgery on Sunday morning. With the FIFA World Cup starting in Brazil on June 12 next year, Jamieson is unlikely to have the time to get back in to top form and impress national coach Ange Postecoglou. "He's been absolutely quality and he's distraught," Edwards said on Saturday night. He looks like he has ruptured his Achilles and will go in to surgery tomorrow. I'm not sure how long it takes to overcome an Achilles rupture. I am one of many who thinks he was, and still is, pushing for a Socceroo's position because he has been very consistent and playing some great football. Youth team member Riley Woodcock, a member of the Young Socceroos, will be given the first opportunity to fill Jamieson's boots on the pitch. Attackers Shane Smeltz and Steve McGarry had just been substituted in to the game by Edwards last night when Jamieson went down. Edwards had decided to go for the three points and he didn't change that tactic despite playing the final 20 minutes against the Mariners one player short. He said winning at home was crucial. "It was a deliberate decision to try to win the game; three points at home games is what we are trying to get to," he said. Three points are better than one - but it ended up we didn't get any. We deserved at least a point. To lose in the last second like that is a little bit hard to take, but that's football. Central Coast's Mitchell Duke found the back of the net with almost the final kick of the game to score the Mariners their second win of the season and the Glory's second loss; their first at home.
