Matilda's Asian Cup Draw and Socceroos Strikers Hit Scoring Form

1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:15,520
Foreign hello

2
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:19,560
and welcome to the Aussie football passport, your one stop pod for updates on

3
00:00:20,060 --> 00:00:23,040
your favorite Aussie men and women who are playing their club careers abroad.

4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,560
I'm your host Alex and this week is a very busy one.

5
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:30,470
Our ladies return to action in the USA and

6
00:00:30,970 --> 00:00:34,710
Europe whilst our men continue across the globe. And guess what?

7
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:38,070
We've got more transfers to bring you. Yes, that is right.

8
00:00:38,870 --> 00:00:42,710
So take a seat, settle down for a brew and let's talk

9
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:43,750
headlines.

10
00:00:50,390 --> 00:00:53,910
All right, so let's get into those transfers and

11
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:57,590
first one is Jessica Nash. The defender has signed for

12
00:00:58,090 --> 00:01:02,210
Sessualo in Italy taking our tally of Australian

13
00:01:02,710 --> 00:01:06,810
ladies to three. In the Italian league of course, Winona Heatley signed

14
00:01:07,310 --> 00:01:10,370
for Roma and Alex Chidiac for Como recently.

15
00:01:10,690 --> 00:01:14,570
So we'll have a strong contingent to

16
00:01:15,070 --> 00:01:18,130
cover there in Italy for you. Now staying with our

17
00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:22,690
ladies, Courtney Nevin. She's signed a three year deal with Malmo

18
00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:27,570
FF in Sweden after two and a half years at Leicester

19
00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:32,590
City in the wsl. And of course Courtney has played in Sweden previously.

20
00:01:33,230 --> 00:01:36,990
Now speaking of players returning to a country they know well,

21
00:01:37,070 --> 00:01:41,150
Alan Rustic, he signed with head of Cles Almelo

22
00:01:41,650 --> 00:01:44,950
in the Dutch top flight. It is only a one year deal of

23
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:48,830
course. He recently left Salernitana

24
00:01:49,330 --> 00:01:53,110
in the Italian second division after their relegation to the

25
00:01:53,610 --> 00:01:57,510
third division there. So good luck to Adin of course. Previous experience in

26
00:01:58,010 --> 00:02:01,630
the Dutch league as well. So familiar surrounds for him

27
00:02:02,130 --> 00:02:06,330
and hopefully that brings the best out in his football for later

28
00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:10,330
on this year and into next year, which is a World cup year of course.

29
00:02:10,810 --> 00:02:13,810
Okay, so Lachlan Brook, well his time at

30
00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:18,330
Rail Salt Lake has ended after they have mutually agreed

31
00:02:18,490 --> 00:02:23,290
to terminate his contract with Lachlan

32
00:02:23,790 --> 00:02:27,370
looking to pursue an opportunity elsewhere. So let's watch his space.

33
00:02:27,870 --> 00:02:32,410
There are a couple of different rumors. One of them is that Auckland FC might

34
00:02:32,910 --> 00:02:37,030
land his services. We will keep you updated on that one. Now to

35
00:02:37,530 --> 00:02:40,470
a transfer that is confirmed and that is Jake Holman.

36
00:02:40,970 --> 00:02:44,710
He signed a two year deal with an option for a third with Walsall

37
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:49,030
in England. So they play in League two and

38
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:52,430
that is the fourth division if you

39
00:02:52,930 --> 00:02:57,030
like, of English football just before it goes to semi professional

40
00:02:57,190 --> 00:03:00,070
level. Now run mill.

41
00:03:00,470 --> 00:03:04,150
Marco Tillio's move to Rapid Veen is in jeopardy as

42
00:03:04,650 --> 00:03:07,990
Celtic will only let the winger go once they can find a replacement.

43
00:03:08,230 --> 00:03:12,190
Rapid Veen though are putting the pressure on Celtic in order

44
00:03:12,690 --> 00:03:16,350
to try and force that move through. So let's see how that one

45
00:03:16,850 --> 00:03:20,470
plays out. Hopefully Marco can leave Celtic. It has been a bit

46
00:03:20,970 --> 00:03:24,790
of an unhappy move for him and For a couple of Aussies of

47
00:03:25,290 --> 00:03:29,670
recent times. Now, Matt Ryan, he posted on Instagram pictures

48
00:03:30,170 --> 00:03:33,330
from AZ Alkmaar's Conferen league qualification

49
00:03:33,410 --> 00:03:36,810
game last week. So that's an

50
00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:41,410
interesting one. No real cryptics around it, unlike a lot of

51
00:03:41,570 --> 00:03:45,250
social media users these days, but it'll be interesting

52
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:49,250
to see. Will he return to az? Of course, he has

53
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:53,650
played there before. So another one we will keep you informed

54
00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:58,090
on. Now let's go to English Championship

55
00:03:58,590 --> 00:04:01,690
news or a league 2.0 as we like to call it here at the Aussie

56
00:04:02,190 --> 00:04:06,310
football passport and it is Blackburn Rovers. They are close to signing

57
00:04:06,810 --> 00:04:10,910
Lewis Miller from Hubs. The fee is believed to be 1

58
00:04:11,410 --> 00:04:15,110
to 1.5 million pounds and the move

59
00:04:15,610 --> 00:04:19,190
is expected to be completed early this week. So let's see

60
00:04:19,690 --> 00:04:23,630
how that one goes. Of course Blackburn has a very strong

61
00:04:23,710 --> 00:04:27,310
link to Australian footballers. Likes of Brett Emmerton and Vinnie

62
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:31,400
Grella have both played for the Hub in previous years during that golden

63
00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:34,680
period of Australian footballers in the English Premier League.

64
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,480
So let's see how that one goes. Let's hope that Lewis can

65
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:44,040
move to Blackburn. It would be great to see. Now staying

66
00:04:44,540 --> 00:04:47,800
in England. Sunderland have rejected a 1.2 million

67
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:51,560
pounds bid from Derby for Nectar Triantis.

68
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,160
So another one, of course, Nectar. Our favorite man here at

69
00:04:55,660 --> 00:04:58,840
the Aussie Football podcast, the man that has given me content

70
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,660
every single episode. So long. May that continue.

71
00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:06,820
Now closer to home, Charlotte FC have

72
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,980
increased their transfer bid for Archie Goodwin. They've tabled an offer of

73
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,180
US$1.5 million which could rise

74
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,620
to 2 million with add ons. So let's see if Adelaide

75
00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:23,940
give in and get Archie

76
00:05:24,340 --> 00:05:28,100
that transfer or not. All right now staying

77
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,180
in Adelaide and there is interest from a German club for the services of

78
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,400
Dylan Pere. So the Speedster is a wanted man.

79
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,560
Let's see how that one plays out. And finally

80
00:05:40,060 --> 00:05:43,880
to round off a big lot of news for Adelaide

81
00:05:44,380 --> 00:05:47,720
United, Stefan Mok, he's off to Kong and Hanoi Football

82
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:52,000
Club in Vietnam on loan. So Adelaide United

83
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,560
have received a loan fee for that move,

84
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:59,160
so you can see why they've taken it. But very interesting

85
00:05:59,660 --> 00:06:03,200
move and there seems to be a lot of movings going on there at

86
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:06,780
Adelaide of course with their new coach and a new

87
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:11,180
sort of ownership set up there. So let's see what else

88
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:14,580
comes from that news in Adelaide. All right,

89
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,220
so some other headlines around the Australian football world.

90
00:06:18,620 --> 00:06:23,220
And of course last week we let you know that the Matilda's

91
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,660
draw for the next year's Asian cup tournament was happening

92
00:06:27,980 --> 00:06:31,540
and we know our fate so the Matilda's have

93
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,970
drawn South Korea, Iran and Philippines for the tournament.

94
00:06:36,470 --> 00:06:39,810
So of course tough draw for our ladies, as is tradition for the

95
00:06:40,310 --> 00:06:43,850
Aussie national teams. Now speaking of Matildas, the Junior

96
00:06:44,350 --> 00:06:47,930
Matilda's under 16s, in fact, their team has been selected for

97
00:06:48,430 --> 00:06:51,690
the ASEAN 2025 championship.

98
00:06:52,190 --> 00:06:55,530
Our girls are in a group with Thailand in Singapore and

99
00:06:56,030 --> 00:06:59,570
those games will take place later this month and we will cover them

100
00:06:59,730 --> 00:07:03,520
right here for you on the Aussie football passport. All right,

101
00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:07,520
well that is it for the headlines this week. Let's move on to a massive

102
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,560
weekly wrap.

103
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,120
Weekly wrap time. And finally we have some women's football action to

104
00:07:22,620 --> 00:07:26,200
cover after a couple of weeks off for our ladies.

105
00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:30,080
Now let's start in Europe where Jessica Coates, she played a full game

106
00:07:30,580 --> 00:07:34,170
for NSA Sophia against Poinik and the

107
00:07:34,670 --> 00:07:37,450
Faroe Islands in Champions League qualification.

108
00:07:38,490 --> 00:07:41,770
Now the first game, Jessica, she played a

109
00:07:42,270 --> 00:07:46,250
full game against Poinik and that one unfortunately ended one nil.

110
00:07:46,490 --> 00:07:49,730
In the second game against the Faroe Islands, that one ended

111
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:54,090
four nil. And Jessica also played a full game in that one. So bit unfortunate

112
00:07:54,590 --> 00:07:57,970
for her one a week that she'll probably want

113
00:07:58,470 --> 00:08:01,890
to forget in a hurry. Now Ava Piazza,

114
00:08:02,050 --> 00:08:05,210
she played a full game for Poynick

115
00:08:05,710 --> 00:08:08,210
in that 1 nil win over NSA Sofia,

116
00:08:08,850 --> 00:08:12,290
she then played another full game. This time it was a 4

117
00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:17,330
nil loss to Luboton in that one. So yeah,

118
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:21,090
mixed bag for our girls in Europe there. Now let's

119
00:08:21,590 --> 00:08:24,970
head to the US and A where Alana Kennedy,

120
00:08:25,470 --> 00:08:29,130
she played a full game back at center back for Angel City in

121
00:08:29,630 --> 00:08:33,270
a two nil loss to Seattle RA and one of those goals

122
00:08:33,770 --> 00:08:37,470
was an unfortunate own goal. So bad luck to Alana

123
00:08:37,970 --> 00:08:41,670
and her teammates. Now Courtney vine, she got 35 minutes

124
00:08:42,170 --> 00:08:45,870
for North Carolina Courage in a nil all draw with the San Diego

125
00:08:46,510 --> 00:08:49,870
Wave there in the nwsl.

126
00:08:50,110 --> 00:08:53,390
And to round out our ladies in the states,

127
00:08:54,110 --> 00:08:58,110
we have two at Portland Thorns. Unfortunately they went down 2:1

128
00:08:58,610 --> 00:09:02,030
to Washington Spirit. And Mackenzie Arnold, she played a full game

129
00:09:02,530 --> 00:09:06,190
in goal. So great to see her back after that injury that

130
00:09:06,690 --> 00:09:10,590
she had quite recently. And Caitlin Torpy played right back and got

131
00:09:11,090 --> 00:09:14,750
71 minutes before being substituted off there. All right,

132
00:09:14,830 --> 00:09:18,510
now let's head to our men and buckle up because this one is

133
00:09:19,010 --> 00:09:22,950
a long one this week. Let's start in Croatia where Fran Karasic

134
00:09:23,450 --> 00:09:26,550
had some weak he played the full 120 minutes

135
00:09:27,050 --> 00:09:30,380
of including extra time as Hajic split overturned

136
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,260
that first leg deficit with a 21 win over Zera

137
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:37,420
in the Conference League qualification. So they go

138
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,980
through to the next round there. So well done to Fran.

139
00:09:41,220 --> 00:09:44,860
Anthony Calic played 83 minutes in that game. Another Aussie

140
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,340
of course. And then at the weekend Hajic Split kicked

141
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,740
off their Croatian league campaign with a 21

142
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,500
win over Istoria. And guess what?

143
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,860
Fran on debut in the league, he scored the winner in that

144
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,140
one. So congratulations Fran. And to keep things

145
00:10:06,780 --> 00:10:10,300
very repetitive, Anthony Kallik got another 83 minutes

146
00:10:10,380 --> 00:10:13,780
in that win over Istria. So well done to

147
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,700
our Aussie lads in Croatia. Doing very well. Now speaking of lads

148
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,300
doing well, let's head to Slovenia where Tommy uric,

149
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,740
he got 14 minutes for FC Co Bear in their 35

150
00:10:25,820 --> 00:10:29,400
loss to Viking in a Europa League Conference.

151
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,640
Europa Conference League qualifier I should say. Of course.

152
00:10:34,140 --> 00:10:37,920
Remember last week it was that seven nil lost to Viking. So 12

153
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:41,560
goals Viking racked up in two games. Wow.

154
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,680
Well look, you know all is not to be doomed

155
00:10:46,180 --> 00:10:49,840
with Denny Urich, he played a full game in that one and

156
00:10:50,340 --> 00:10:54,600
he scored two of FC Cope's goals, one of which was a penalty.

157
00:10:55,340 --> 00:10:59,180
Now let's head to Scotland where recent Dundee United

158
00:10:59,660 --> 00:11:03,580
signing Zach Sapsford continues his red hot form. He played

159
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,100
77 minutes and provided the assist in Dundee

160
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,380
United's one nil win over Una Strassen in that

161
00:11:12,460 --> 00:11:16,100
Conference League qualifier. So again they go through to the next round which is great

162
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,420
to see. And the Scottish League kicked off on the weekend.

163
00:11:19,660 --> 00:11:24,010
So he backed it up with a full game as Dundee

164
00:11:24,510 --> 00:11:27,650
United drew two all with Falkirk in the league.

165
00:11:28,370 --> 00:11:31,650
Now Martin Boyle, he played 100 minutes

166
00:11:31,730 --> 00:11:33,570
of an extra time.

167
00:11:34,610 --> 00:11:38,850
Qualification Europa qualify Europa League qualification

168
00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:43,650
game Gee, that's a tongue twister against Michieland. They went down 2:1 unfortunately

169
00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:47,610
in that one. He then backed it up with 79 minutes on the weekend as

170
00:11:48,110 --> 00:11:51,500
Hibbs one two one over Dundee. Not to be done mistaken

171
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,420
with Dundee United. Of course there is two teams in Dundee in

172
00:11:55,740 --> 00:11:59,820
Scotland. Now Jack iredale, he got 98

173
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,580
minutes in the first game against Micheland in that Europa

174
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,460
League qualifier for Hibbs as well and played the full game against

175
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,340
Dundee. So good to see that the remaining Aussies at Hibs

176
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,380
are in the gaffer's favor there. Now Ryan

177
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,980
McGowan, he played the full game on Livingston's

178
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,800
return to the Scottish top flight. They drew 2 all with K in

179
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:28,200
that game. Now we head

180
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:32,120
to Motherwell where a couple of our Aussies got some game time.

181
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,520
Apostolos de MATALOPOULOS, he got 78 minutes

182
00:12:37,020 --> 00:12:40,600
in Motherwell's one all draw with Rangers. A bit of an upset there.

183
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,840
And Johnny Katrumbas he got the full game for Marvel.

184
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,010
Now let's head south to Portugal where

185
00:12:49,510 --> 00:12:52,610
Anthony Carter got 12 minutes for Santa Clara in

186
00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:57,090
the two nil win over Zada's Den in

187
00:12:57,330 --> 00:13:00,930
another Europa Conference league qualification match.

188
00:13:01,010 --> 00:13:04,850
And that means Santa Clara will go through to

189
00:13:05,010 --> 00:13:08,050
the next round over to Austria.

190
00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:12,330
Noah Bottic, he got the full game for Austria veen in their 5 nil

191
00:13:12,830 --> 00:13:16,530
win over FC Sparri in a another conference league qualifier

192
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,960
which means that Austria being go through to the next round.

193
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,720
He then backed it up with 15 minutes at the weekend

194
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,560
and providing an assist in his sides to all draw

195
00:13:28,060 --> 00:13:31,560
with get Azer AK in the Austrian league which is

196
00:13:32,060 --> 00:13:34,920
the first round of that. And in opposition,

197
00:13:35,420 --> 00:13:38,760
Jacob Italiano he got 89 minutes for Grazer AK.

198
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,400
So an Aussie derby there in Austria. Try saying

199
00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:46,760
that one five times. Another tongue twister. This episode is full of them, let me

200
00:13:47,260 --> 00:13:50,560
tell you. All right, Jed drew, he got 45

201
00:13:51,060 --> 00:13:55,000
minutes for Hartberg in their 42 loss to WSG

202
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:59,560
Tyrrell also in Austria. Now to Belgium. Ryan t,

203
00:14:00,060 --> 00:14:03,920
he got six minutes for KV Mechelen in their 21

204
00:14:04,420 --> 00:14:08,120
win over Club Bruges. Next door to the Netherlands.

205
00:14:08,620 --> 00:14:12,080
And Jordan boss, he got 45 minutes for Feyenoord in

206
00:14:12,580 --> 00:14:16,850
a 44 nil win over Wolfsburg in a pre season friendly.

207
00:14:16,930 --> 00:14:20,170
So good to see Jordan making his debut for Feyenoord

208
00:14:20,670 --> 00:14:24,370
there. Max Ballard, the new captain of NAC Breda,

209
00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:28,970
he unfortunately played in a two nil loss to Norwich in

210
00:14:29,470 --> 00:14:33,130
a friendly in Brighton. News though. Cameron perpignan,

211
00:14:33,630 --> 00:14:37,570
he got 66 minutes for Ado den Haag as

212
00:14:38,070 --> 00:14:41,820
they beat Olympiacos 3:2 in a friendly now

213
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,340
over to Italy. And Alessandro Cicati, he played a full game for Parma in

214
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,140
a one all draw with Mallorca in a preseason friendly over

215
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,300
to Serbia where Milos Degenerek, he played a full game for his

216
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,260
side FK Baka Topola in a 2 nil win over Spartak

217
00:15:00,420 --> 00:15:03,140
Subotica. Now Milos,

218
00:15:03,460 --> 00:15:06,940
although he kept a clean sheet, he did pick up a yellow card in that

219
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,360
one. I guess part of what a

220
00:15:11,860 --> 00:15:15,000
defender does, isn't it really? So all right,

221
00:15:15,500 --> 00:15:19,560
over to Korea where John idale, he got 59 minutes for Seoul Eland

222
00:15:20,060 --> 00:15:23,920
in their nil or draw with Incheon United. And in

223
00:15:24,420 --> 00:15:27,880
Japan, Thomas Deng, he got half an hour for Yokohama F Marinos in

224
00:15:28,380 --> 00:15:32,520
a friendly against Liverpool. Unfortunately Marinos lost three one there.

225
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,760
Now over to the US and A where league

226
00:15:37,150 --> 00:15:40,950
cup action took place this week and

227
00:15:41,450 --> 00:15:45,390
this is a competition played between teams from the usa,

228
00:15:45,630 --> 00:15:49,310
Canada and Mexico. So in this one we

229
00:15:49,810 --> 00:15:53,270
had Aiden o' Neill getting 60 minutes for New York City FC in their

230
00:15:53,770 --> 00:15:56,270
3.03nil lost to Pueblo.

231
00:15:56,990 --> 00:16:00,390
He then backed it up with a full game against Lyon which they

232
00:16:00,890 --> 00:16:04,350
won two nil. Now our superstar Brad Smith, he got

233
00:16:04,850 --> 00:16:08,660
five minutes for FC Cincinnati in their 32 win over Monterrey.

234
00:16:09,210 --> 00:16:13,170
He then backed it up at the weekend with an 87th minute

235
00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:17,170
substitute appearance against Juarez. That game it

236
00:16:17,670 --> 00:16:21,530
was level two all before it went to penalties where FC Cincinnati

237
00:16:22,030 --> 00:16:24,010
unfortunately lost that one.

238
00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:29,370
All right, now let's head to England and Wales

239
00:16:29,610 --> 00:16:33,090
where League one and League two kicked off

240
00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:36,570
this weekend. And let's rip in with some League 1 action.

241
00:16:36,890 --> 00:16:40,200
Nicholas Bilaka pitch, he got the full game

242
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:44,680
for his side Peterborough in goal of course and unfortunately they

243
00:16:45,180 --> 00:16:48,520
went down 2:1 to Cardiff, who were recently relegated from the

244
00:16:49,020 --> 00:16:52,320
championship to Ligue 1. Now Caleb Watts, he got a full game

245
00:16:52,820 --> 00:16:55,960
for his new side Plymouth Argyle. Unfortunately they

246
00:16:56,460 --> 00:17:00,000
went down 3:1 to Barnsley in that one. But Caleb did

247
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:04,120
score the goal. So congratulations to Caleb on his individual

248
00:17:04,620 --> 00:17:08,380
performance. Now Tyrese Francois, he got a full game

249
00:17:08,540 --> 00:17:12,540
for Wigan in their 31 win over Northampton Town also

250
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:16,220
in League One. Now let's go down a division to

251
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,380
League Two where the man that we mentioned in the transfer section,

252
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,740
Jake Holman, he made his debut for his new side Walsall,

253
00:17:24,220 --> 00:17:27,860
getting seven minutes off the bench in their 21 win over Swindon

254
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:31,820
Town. There now Gethin Jones, he played a

255
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,840
full game for MK Johns in their nil all draw with Oldham Athletic,

256
00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:39,710
also in League 2. Now let's stay in England and

257
00:17:40,210 --> 00:17:43,630
let's go to some friendly action where forgotten man Garen kwol,

258
00:17:44,130 --> 00:17:47,790
he got 45 minutes for Newcastle United's under 21

259
00:17:48,290 --> 00:17:51,350
side in a one all draw with Hull. But it was good to see that

260
00:17:51,850 --> 00:17:55,190
Garang got on the score sheet in that one. Now speaking

261
00:17:55,690 --> 00:17:58,910
of strikers getting on the score sheet. Score sheet I

262
00:17:59,410 --> 00:18:02,550
should say not. Score sheet Thomas Waddingham.

263
00:18:03,050 --> 00:18:07,080
He scored two goals for Portsmouth in 8.4nil win over Brighton's under

264
00:18:07,580 --> 00:18:10,920
21s. He then backed it up at the weekend with another goal in a

265
00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:15,320
one nil win over Pec Zuole there in

266
00:18:15,820 --> 00:18:19,640
a number friendly. Hayden Matthews came on in the 88th minute for

267
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,080
Portsmouth in that friendly against Pec Zuole

268
00:18:24,580 --> 00:18:28,400
as well. Now Nestry, Iran Kunde. He got 20 minutes for Watford

269
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:32,000
in a 10 win over Deportivo La Carona in

270
00:18:32,500 --> 00:18:36,110
a friendly there. Sam Silvera against the same opposition

271
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,910
but for a different side. He got a full game for his side

272
00:18:40,410 --> 00:18:44,790
Middlesbrough and an assist as they also played Deportivo La Caruna

273
00:18:45,290 --> 00:18:49,150
in a preseason friendly. That one ended two all as

274
00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:53,030
well. Now Massimo Luongo, he's been a busy man since he signed on for

275
00:18:53,530 --> 00:18:57,270
Millwall. He took part in a 62 win over Sutton United

276
00:18:57,830 --> 00:19:01,150
in a friendly midweek and then followed it up on the weekend

277
00:19:01,650 --> 00:19:04,950
with a halftime substitute appearance as Millwall went

278
00:19:05,450 --> 00:19:07,670
on to beat Esteril Prayer 3 nil.

279
00:19:09,030 --> 00:19:12,550
In Wales, Cameron Burgess, he played a full game for Swansea

280
00:19:13,050 --> 00:19:16,750
as they lost 31 to Laureont in a friendly. Now Joe

281
00:19:17,250 --> 00:19:20,790
Gauche, he was a 71st minute substitute for Aston Villa

282
00:19:21,290 --> 00:19:24,430
against Nashville in a friendly. Patrick Yazbeck came on

283
00:19:24,930 --> 00:19:28,070
as a halftime substitute for Nashville in that one.

284
00:19:28,770 --> 00:19:32,690
All right now a couple of countries left in this weekly wrap

285
00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:37,170
and it's over to Spain where our mobile got 65 minutes for Udi

286
00:19:37,670 --> 00:19:41,650
Castellon in a friendly against Levante which they drew one all.

287
00:19:41,890 --> 00:19:45,410
And last but not least, Mitchell Glass and our man in finland, he got

288
00:19:45,910 --> 00:19:49,610
12 minutes for his side KTP in a three nil

289
00:19:50,110 --> 00:19:53,780
loss to SJK. All right, that is it for the weekly rap

290
00:19:54,250 --> 00:19:57,730
finally and we will get on to our Players of the week in just a

291
00:20:06,250 --> 00:20:10,130
All right folks, Players of the week time and unfortunately our women have

292
00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:14,090
let us down. No goals, no clean sheets, nothing of

293
00:20:14,590 --> 00:20:17,450
note. Unfortunately if we were to give it to anyone, I guess you'd have to

294
00:20:17,950 --> 00:20:21,170
give it to Courtney vine because she didn't lose this week.

295
00:20:21,570 --> 00:20:25,490
But yes, we will wait for next week, hopefully some goals

296
00:20:25,570 --> 00:20:29,330
or something to report next week. But our man

297
00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:33,810
of the week is none other than Motore. He netted a penalty

298
00:20:34,310 --> 00:20:37,930
which went on to win the game for his side. Randers 1 nil against

299
00:20:38,430 --> 00:20:41,810
Silkborg in the Danish League there showed nerves of

300
00:20:42,310 --> 00:20:45,610
steel to bury the match winning penalty. He got 76 minutes in

301
00:20:46,110 --> 00:20:49,490
that game and he now has one goal and two assists

302
00:20:49,990 --> 00:20:53,510
in his first three games of the season for Randers there so well

303
00:20:54,010 --> 00:20:58,270
done to mo long mate continued that our strikers rained

304
00:20:58,770 --> 00:21:02,830
down with goals and keep that form up once they get called up

305
00:21:03,330 --> 00:21:06,710
to the national team. All right, well that is it for

306
00:21:07,210 --> 00:21:10,590
another week of the Aussie football passport. I really hope you enjoyed this episode.
