5
00:00:28,380 --> 00:00:32,570
Ashes to cover as well as the goal scoring return of our Matilda's captain.

6
00:00:32,890 --> 00:00:36,410
Speaking of goals, there are plenty of them to report. How good.

7
00:00:36,890 --> 00:00:40,690
There are also some transfers, the young Socceroo

8
00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:44,370
squad for the World cup coming up at the end of this month and a

9
00:00:44,870 --> 00:00:47,850
whole lot more. So let's get straight into the headlines.

10
00:00:54,330 --> 00:00:57,930
So transfer headlines. This week we have Chloe

11
00:00:58,430 --> 00:01:02,360
Berryhill, formerly Chloe Legazo, joining Como

12
00:01:02,860 --> 00:01:07,440
in Italy's second division. So she will link up with Alex Chidiac

13
00:01:07,940 --> 00:01:11,840
at Como as they look to for as they

14
00:01:12,340 --> 00:01:14,600
look to win promotion to the first division.

15
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:19,200
In exciting news for young Western United defender

16
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:23,440
or former Western United defender I should say Dylan Leonard. He's joined

17
00:01:23,940 --> 00:01:27,440
Schalke 04 in the German second division. It's a five

18
00:01:27,940 --> 00:01:31,160
year deal and fantastic news for the young defender.

19
00:01:31,660 --> 00:01:35,080
Definitely one to keep an eye on and might be a bit of a

20
00:01:35,580 --> 00:01:39,360
smoky for the soccers in next year's World Cup. Watch this space.

21
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,960
All right, let's take a look at some other headlines and one we actually

22
00:01:44,460 --> 00:01:47,520
didn't mention in the intro is Ange Poster Coglu.

23
00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:50,960
He didn't have to wait too long for another crack in the English Premier League

24
00:01:51,460 --> 00:01:54,560
as he is now the manager at Nottingham Forest. He signed a two

25
00:01:55,060 --> 00:01:58,320
year deal and will look to repeat his European heroics at Tottenham

26
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,460
with his new club as they are competing in in the Europa League,

27
00:02:02,540 --> 00:02:05,500
which he is the defending champion of.

28
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:09,740
All right now, the Matildas, they have announced that they will be

29
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,940
taking on England, the Lionesses as they are known on

30
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,500
Tuesday 28 October local time or

31
00:02:17,580 --> 00:02:21,500
Wednesday 29 October Australian

32
00:02:21,580 --> 00:02:25,540
time. It'll be in the early hours of the morning of course and

33
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,620
that will be the final match of the international window in October.

34
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,720
Of course they are playing Wales before that. So a bit

35
00:02:34,220 --> 00:02:37,360
of a UK sojourn for our girls and it'll be a

36
00:02:37,860 --> 00:02:41,800
fantastic opportunity for our ladies to measure up against the Lionesses who

37
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:45,920
of course are the current European champions. Now let's

38
00:02:46,420 --> 00:02:50,440
head over to the men's game where Trevor Morgan has selected his squad for the

39
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,000
under 20s World cup that

40
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:58,480
will be played in Chile later on this month and

41
00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:02,666
the squad features 17 members of that victorious AFC Under

42
00:03:02,734 --> 00:03:06,600
20 Asian cup championship victory of course

43
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,800
from earlier this year. The squad sees the return of Nathan Amenatidis

44
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,160
Liam Bonatiga, Max Caputo, Daniel Grazzkowski

45
00:03:16,660 --> 00:03:20,840
and Reece Yuli, all of whom who have been capped by

46
00:03:21,340 --> 00:03:24,920
Australia at under 20 level and involved in this current cycle.

47
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,680
There's also the addition of James Overy who impressed at the

48
00:03:29,180 --> 00:03:32,640
Under 18 UEFA Friendship cup in back in June which we

49
00:03:33,140 --> 00:03:37,220
also reported on. And of course he is he recently

50
00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:41,380
signed his first professional contract with Manchester United.

51
00:03:41,860 --> 00:03:45,580
And before we leave the under 20 side, a quick fun fact for

52
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,900
you Paul Ocon Engslar. He he can follow in the footsteps

53
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,980
of his father Paul who represented Australia in their fourth place finish at the

54
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,660
FIFA Under 20 World cup in Portugal back in 1991.

55
00:03:58,980 --> 00:04:02,540
They could become the first father son duo to play for Australia in

56
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,820
the FIFA under 20 World Cup. So fingers crossed for Paul Ocon that

57
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,240
he can stay f for that tournament. Now to

58
00:04:11,740 --> 00:04:15,360
the Australian under 23 men. Of course, rounding out their

59
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,840
2026 Asian cup qualification campaign,

60
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,720
they faced China and it ended in a nil or draw. So it

61
00:04:24,220 --> 00:04:28,240
means the boys will go into next year's tournament to be held in Saudi Arabia

62
00:04:28,740 --> 00:04:32,160
topping the pool with a superior for and against over China.

63
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,480
So well done to our under 23s there. All right now

64
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,250
the second match of the soccer the Soccer Ashes between

65
00:04:40,330 --> 00:04:43,290
the Socceroos and the All Whites New Zealand.

66
00:04:44,090 --> 00:04:47,890
Well it was much more entertaining than the first leg held in

67
00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:52,370
Canberra with both sides letting off the shackles and it

68
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:55,850
resulting in a 31 win for the Socceroos.

69
00:04:56,650 --> 00:05:00,170
It was an end to end encounter and our men's player of the

70
00:05:00,670 --> 00:05:03,810
week he managed to start the goal scoring and get a brace in that

71
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:08,380
one. The goals did start in the 35th minute before

72
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,940
three goals were scored in the space of six minutes in some absolute

73
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,580
second half madness featuring Nottingham Forest striker Chris

74
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,420
Wood for New Zealand and soon to be coached by our Aussie

75
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,660
Ange at Forest and our man Nestori Iran Kundar

76
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:28,740
along with our player of the week, our men's favorite player

77
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,460
of the week. Now speaking of podcast favourites, here's another little

78
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,060
fun fact. Alessandro Ciacati became the youngest captain of

79
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,400
the Socceros in 44 years and he is under defeatist,

80
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,600
undefeated whilst wearing the armband.

81
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,920
Nice one Ali. All right, that is it for the

82
00:05:47,420 --> 00:05:59,720
headlines. Let's head over to the weekly wrap Weekly

83
00:06:00,220 --> 00:06:03,600
wrap time and let's start with our ladies in the US and A

84
00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:07,760
where Courtney vine played 26 minutes for North Carolina Courage

85
00:06:08,260 --> 00:06:12,620
in their 21 win over Angel City FC. Of course formerly

86
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,380
Alana Kennedy's side Portland Thorns they drew one

87
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,140
all with the Chicago Stars Mackenzie Arnold played the full game

88
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,140
in goal for the Thorns whilst Caitlin Torpy was an

89
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,140
unused substitute. Morgan Aquino, she played the full

90
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,460
game in goal for DC Power in a nil or draw with Lexington sc.

91
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:35,660
It is her sixth clean sheet of the season.

92
00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:39,460
So well done to Morgan there who will be looking to press

93
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,950
her claims to the first choice goalkeeping spot ahead

94
00:06:44,030 --> 00:06:47,230
of Mackenzie Arnold. Now Mexico,

95
00:06:47,470 --> 00:06:50,870
let's head over to Mexico I should say, where Emily Gilnick was a second

96
00:06:51,370 --> 00:06:55,150
half substitute for Monterey in their one nil win against Toluca.

97
00:06:56,350 --> 00:06:59,990
Now to Sweden where AV Luik got a full game for

98
00:07:00,490 --> 00:07:03,590
BK Hacken in their one all draw with Atletico Madrid

99
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:07,510
in their first leg of Champions League qualifiers with the return leg

100
00:07:08,010 --> 00:07:11,930
to be held next week in midweek. Now Daniela

101
00:07:12,430 --> 00:07:16,090
Galic, she played the full game and got the only goal for Vizio in

102
00:07:16,590 --> 00:07:19,770
their one nil win over Algen Sas. So well done

103
00:07:20,270 --> 00:07:24,010
Daniela keeping that goal scoring form going. Jada Wyman,

104
00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:28,330
she played the full game in goal for AIK as they came from behind to

105
00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:33,090
beat FC Rosengard to one in a good win for AIK

106
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:36,690
there. Christianstad got a big 21

107
00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:39,890
win over Vaxjo to keep their European hopes alive.

108
00:07:40,130 --> 00:07:43,950
Amy Sayer played a full game while Remy Siemenson played 89

109
00:07:44,450 --> 00:07:48,110
minutes in that one. Now Polly Doran, she got 85 minutes for

110
00:07:48,610 --> 00:07:52,630
Linkoping in their three nil loss to Hammerby there rounding out

111
00:07:53,130 --> 00:07:56,670
the action in Sweden. Now let's head to WSL action in England where

112
00:07:57,170 --> 00:08:02,070
Caitlin Ford was one of four goal scorers as Arsenal overcame an early deficit

113
00:08:02,570 --> 00:08:06,110
against West Ham to finish with a big win early in this season.

114
00:08:06,750 --> 00:08:10,350
It ended 5:1. Katrina Gorey, she played the full game in

115
00:08:10,850 --> 00:08:14,390
midfield for the Hammers while Ford and Steph Catley started

116
00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:18,430
for Arsenal. Kyra Cooney Cross was an unused substitute

117
00:08:18,930 --> 00:08:22,870
in that one. Ellie Carpenter, she played the full game for Chelsea in

118
00:08:23,370 --> 00:08:26,550
their 31 win over Aston Villa. And let me say there's a

119
00:08:27,050 --> 00:08:29,990
little bit more to come on that game later in the podcast.

120
00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:34,070
Emily Van Egmond she scored her first goal for Leicester City in their

121
00:08:34,570 --> 00:08:38,110
1 nil win over Liverpool. She played 86 minutes of that

122
00:08:38,610 --> 00:08:42,450
game and well done to Emily. Alana Kennedy,

123
00:08:42,950 --> 00:08:46,530
she got 66 minutes for the London City Lionesses and unfortunately

124
00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:50,210
they were smashed by Manchester United. 51 in

125
00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:54,210
that one. Tottenham Hotspur had a solid 2 nil victory

126
00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:57,450
over Everton and we had a couple of Aussie ladies involved in this one.

127
00:08:57,530 --> 00:09:01,010
Claire Wheeler, she started but was substituted at halftime for

128
00:09:01,510 --> 00:09:05,370
Everton whilst Claire Hunt played the full game for Tottenham in defense.

129
00:09:05,870 --> 00:09:09,130
And Charlotte Grant played 17 minutes off the bench for

130
00:09:09,630 --> 00:09:12,990
Tottenham in that one. Charlize Rule, she played a full game

131
00:09:13,490 --> 00:09:16,870
at center back for Brighton in their 21 loss to Manchester City.

132
00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:20,550
Of course Mary Fowler continues her rehab from her ACL

133
00:09:21,050 --> 00:09:24,630
injury and was not in the matchday squad. Now let's head to

134
00:09:25,130 --> 00:09:28,750
Germany where Eintracht Frankfurt fell to a defeat in the first leg

135
00:09:29,250 --> 00:09:32,790
of the UEFA Women's Champions League third qualifying round.

136
00:09:33,270 --> 00:09:36,950
They lost 21 to Real Madrid. Of course that is

137
00:09:37,450 --> 00:09:40,960
Hayley Rasso's previous one of her previous teams I should say,

138
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,600
but her current team, Eintracht Frankfurt, she came off the bench in

139
00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:47,360
the last minute of regular time in that game.

140
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,840
Then she backed it up with another substitute appearance

141
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,400
at the weekend in her sides 30 loss to

142
00:09:55,900 --> 00:10:00,280
Jamila Rankin's Hoffenheim. Jamila Rankin played the full game for Hoffenheim

143
00:10:00,780 --> 00:10:03,920
in that one and helped them to that clean sheet in defense.

144
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,520
Now Alana Murphy, she played the full game in midfield for SC sand

145
00:10:09,020 --> 00:10:12,800
in their 4 nil win over Turbine Potsdam. Now over to

146
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:17,280
Italy where we had a Matilda Derby between AS Roma

147
00:10:17,780 --> 00:10:21,320
and Sassuolo ending in AS Roma's favor 3 nil

148
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:25,200
in Serie A Cup action. That means Roma

149
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:29,240
progressed through to the semi final as well. So congratulations

150
00:10:29,740 --> 00:10:33,180
to Winona Heatley and her teammates. She started and played the full

151
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:36,860
game for Roma while Jessica Nash did the same for

152
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,500
Sassuolo. Jacinta Gala Batarachi, she was a second half substitute

153
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,580
for Sassuolo in that game. All right, that is it

154
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,500
for the women's side of things. Let's head over to the men's

155
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,460
side of things and start in the English championship or a league 2.0

156
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,260
as we like to call it here on the Aussie football passport. And Lewis Miller

157
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,900
came off the bench in the 70th minute for Blackthorn Robers as

158
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,000
they beat Nestry iron. Kunda's Watford one nil. Erin Kundak came

159
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:09,560
off the bench in the 54th minute for his side in that one.

160
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,120
Cameron Burgess, he played another full game for Swansea

161
00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:16,960
City in a two all draw with Hull City in the Battle of

162
00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:21,560
the Cities. Adrian Sega chic, he played 76 minutes for

163
00:11:22,060 --> 00:11:25,840
Portsmouth in Danilo draw with Southampton. Callum Elder,

164
00:11:26,340 --> 00:11:30,370
he played a full game for Derby county on in

165
00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:34,530
a one nil win over West Brom. Massimo Luongo,

minutes and scored for Dundee United in that one.

180
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,120

181
00:12:37,620 --> 00:12:41,400
Aussies abroad at the moment which is great to see. Now Cameron Devlin he

only Aussie in the matchday squad for Aberdeen but did not play any minutes as

00:13:21,950 --> 00:13:25,890

to the Bundesliga season with a 21 victory

208
00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:30,050
over Augsburg. Captain Jackson Irvine returned

209
00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:34,690
via the bench in that one and it is good to see him working

210
00:14:35,190 --> 00:14:38,650
his way back to full fitness. Hopefully he can get more minutes next week.

211
00:14:39,450 --> 00:14:42,850
Now to Austria where Noah Bottic came off the bench in the

212

00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:54,790
Graz. Marco Tillio played 45 minutes and scored

215
00:14:55,290 --> 00:14:58,790
a goal in a great performance for his new side Rapid

216
00:14:59,290 --> 00:15:02,830
veen that game ending 4:1 to his

217
00:15:03,330 --> 00:15:06,390

side KV Mechelen against Standard Deliage.

226
00:15:41,990 --> 00:15:45,150
Now to Denmark where Mohammad Ture came off the

227
00:15:45,650 --> 00:15:48,830
bench for anders in their 70th in the 70th minute I should say

228
00:15:49,330 --> 00:15:52,830
in his size one zero win over Sonderski. Fodder bold.

229
00:15:53,390 --> 00:15:56,790

230
00:15:57,290 --> 00:16:01,070
not get off the bench. Now heading north to Norway where Nicholas

Lucani 1 nil. Now to Hungary where Daniel

237
00:16:26,190 --> 00:16:29,450
Arzani had a day out. He started, bagged a

238
00:16:29,950 --> 00:16:34,170
hat trick of goals and an assist in Ferran Gonvados 15 nil

239

win overskand SE in the Hungarian

240
00:16:38,490 --> 00:16:42,410
Cup. Now to Portugal where Anthony Carter got 10

241
00:16:42,910 --> 00:16:45,970
minutes off the bench for Santa Clara and let me tell you, it was an

242
00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:50,450
impact substitution because he laid on the assist to snatch a draw for

243
00:16:50,950 --> 00:16:55,030
his side against Portuguese powerhouse Benfica. The final score in that one one

244
00:16:55,530 --> 00:16:59,430
all so well done Anthony there. Now to

245
00:16:59,930 --> 00:17:03,230

248
00:17:11,290 --> 00:17:15,030
where Giuseppe Bovalina came off the bench for the Vancouver Whitecaps

249
00:17:15,530 --> 00:17:19,110
in the 87th minute and assisted Thomas Muller's final goal in

250
00:17:19,610 --> 00:17:23,810
an absolute route as his side won 7N over Philadelphia

251
00:17:23,890 --> 00:17:27,090
Union KY Rolls he came on

252
00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:30,730

254
00:17:35,630 --> 00:17:39,690
minute for Nashville in a 21 loss to FC Cincinnati where

255
00:17:40,190 --> 00:17:43,650
our impact sub Brad Smith was nowhere to be seen. Unfortunately.

256
00:17:43,970 --> 00:17:47,450
Aiden O', Neill, he started and played 71 minutes for New York

257
00:17:47,950 --> 00:17:50,980
City FC in a 31 win over

258
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,900

259
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,740
it is over to Japan where Mitchell Duke came off the bench in

260
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,780
the 74th minute and scored the equalizer for Makaida Zelvia

261
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,540
in a one all draw with Yokohama fc. All right,

262
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,980
that is it for the weekly wrap. Let's head over to the Players of the

263
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:10,700
Week shortly.

264
00:18:19,210 --> 00:18:22,890
Well, finally we're getting some good competition for our Players of the week,

265
00:18:23,390 --> 00:18:26,410
but let's start with our ladies and there could be only one,

266
00:18:26,490 --> 00:18:29,930
couldn't there? That's right, it is super Sam Kerr who made

267
00:18:30,430 --> 00:18:34,370
her long awaited return for Chelsea on the weekend, scoring her 100th

268
00:18:34,870 --> 00:18:38,210
goal for the club in their 31 win against Aston Villa. As I

269
00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:42,210
alluded to earlier with Ellie Carpenter's full game for

270
00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:46,630
the sidebar, what a way to make a comeback, huh? Absolutely fantastic

271
00:18:47,130 --> 00:18:50,830
news for her, Chelsea and of course our Matildas. We hope to see

272
00:18:51,330 --> 00:18:55,270
Sam Kerr back to full fitness very soon and getting even more minutes

273
00:18:55,770 --> 00:18:59,190
as the weeks progress. Now to our Men's Player

274
00:18:59,690 --> 00:19:03,390
of the Week and well, although Daniel Azani scored a hat trick

275
00:19:03,890 --> 00:19:07,350
and although we had plenty of goal scorers and assisters this week, it could

276
00:19:07,850 --> 00:19:11,270
only be one man in my eyes and that is Motore. He scored the

277
00:19:11,770 --> 00:19:15,450
match winning brace in the Socceroos victory in New Zealand.

278
00:19:15,850 --> 00:19:18,690
It could have been a hat trick if it wasn't for an offside in the

279
00:19:19,190 --> 00:19:22,530
buildup of course as well. Mo took his chance starting

280
00:19:23,030 --> 00:19:26,810
up front and scoring his first two goals for the Socceroos in a blistering performance.

281
00:19:27,850 --> 00:19:31,850
It seems like he's building quite a nice little combination with Nestry

282
00:19:32,350 --> 00:19:36,330
Irin Kunder. So long may that continue and long may Motore's

283
00:19:36,830 --> 00:19:40,170
great form in the green and gold continue as well.

284
00:19:40,730 --> 00:19:43,970
All right, well that is it for another week of the Aussie football
