Socceroos Riley McGree and Sam Silvera have fallen agonisingly short of getting the chance to play in soccer's richest game, the English Championship play-off final.
After the weekend's scoreless first leg at Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough were beaten 2-1 after extra time on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) by Southampton to miss out on playing Hull City at Wembley on Saturday May 23 in a game worth a minimum $250 million.
