SO, WE ARE PRETTY SURE KEVIN MUSCAT IS JESUS

Now while we at TBT are of a-less-than religious bent, in this Christmas-New-Years period it's customary to give thanks for all that we have, especially all things good.

One thing that is good fucking awesome is a man by the name of Kevin Muscat. The Hardest Bastard to be ripped from the loins of Australian football. Kevin (currently plying his trade with Melbourne Victory) started his career with Sunshine George Cross - making his international debut for Australia against Kuwait in '94.

Despite the 'facts', we like to believe Kevin was spawned by the devil after a particularly heavy studs-up tackle on Mary Magdalene. Something like Kevin's death squirrel grip on Terry McFlynn.

Next week Australia faces Kuwait in Kuwait City. Culina is missing due to injury and stalwart centre back Craig Moore is looking weary after ball watching seven goals in Brisbane Roar's RAWs past two league matches. If Craig Moore is looking tired, his old Australia teammate is raring to go. Go on Pim, pick Kevin. Consider it a belated Christmas present/early Australia Day gift to MMA Football fans. The match against Kuwait doesn't fall on a FIFA date which restricts the overseas based players travelling for the match. This would surely give preference to fit, enthusiastic Australian-based players to play an important part in the extended squad. On and off the pitch.

Kevin is one the Hardest Bastards ever to play for Australia, but don't forget that he can play football too.

Melbourne are lucky to have Kevin. Few rival clubs would admit it, but they'd have him in a minute because every A-League club would love a Kevin Muscat in defence.

Australia could centainy use one next week in Kuwait City.
