and welcome to the Aussie Football Passport, your one stop pod for updates on your
3
00:00:19,660 --> 00:00:23,040
favorite Aussie men and women who are playing their club careers abroad. I'm your host
4
00:00:23,540 --> 00:00:26,730
Alex and this week we have plenty of football to cover and our
5
00:00:27,230 --> 00:00:30,410
under 20 lads kick off their World cup campaign against Italy.
6
00:00:30,730 --> 00:00:34,050
There are award nominations for our ladies and plenty of goals,
7
00:00:34,550 --> 00:00:37,290
assists and even a red card in clubland this week.
8
00:00:37,610 --> 00:00:39,610
So let's get into it with the headlines,
9
00:00:45,850 --> 00:00:49,890
headline time and Steph Catley and Holly McNamara have
10
00:00:50,390 --> 00:00:53,690
received nominations at the AFC Annual Awards with Catley
11
00:00:54,190 --> 00:00:58,250
nominated for AFC Asian International Player of the year while McNamara
12
00:00:58,750 --> 00:01:02,470
is nominated for the AFC Women's Player of the Year.
13
00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:06,510
The award ceremony will take place on October 18th and we will
14
00:01:07,010 --> 00:01:10,310
bring you the results in the coming weeks. Now over
15
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:14,110
to Under 20 World cup action where
16
00:01:14,610 --> 00:01:18,950
young Socceroos head coach Trevor Morgan and captain Sebastian Esposito
17
00:01:19,450 --> 00:01:22,830
rued their team's missed chances against Italy in a
18
00:01:23,330 --> 00:01:26,630
performance with plenty of positives to open their World cup campaign.
19
00:01:27,110 --> 00:01:31,130
Daniel Benny had the best of the chances for our Bo, but unfortunately
20
00:01:31,630 --> 00:01:34,970
the QPR man didn't make the most of the opportunity presented to
21
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:39,210
him by the opposition. The only goal of the match came from the penalty
22
00:01:39,710 --> 00:01:43,650
spot as a wonderful through ball sent Italian forward Matteo Moscone
23
00:01:43,970 --> 00:01:47,530
through on goal with Aussie keeper Stephen hall bringing him down
24
00:01:48,030 --> 00:01:51,410
in the penalty area. Italian captain Mattia
25
00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:55,410
Manini converted the penalty and won his side
26
00:01:55,570 --> 00:01:58,930
the three point to start off the group stage.
27
00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:03,330
Aled's next game is against Argentina on
28
00:02:03,410 --> 00:02:07,050
Thursday morning at 9am Eastern Standard Time.
29
00:02:07,550 --> 00:02:11,690
You can catch that on SBS and SBS on Demand so don't
30
00:02:12,190 --> 00:02:14,930
miss that one. I know it's at a bit of an inconvenient time for those
31
00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:18,930
of us that are doing the 9 to 5 grind, but SBS on Demand
32
00:02:19,410 --> 00:02:23,330
will be your best friend. All right now dropping
33
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:27,490
down a age division to the under 17? S and the joeys
34
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:31,990
as they're nicknamed. Head coach Carl Viet he selected a 30 player squad
35
00:02:32,490 --> 00:02:35,230
for a domestic training camp to be held in Canberra.
36
00:02:35,390 --> 00:02:39,390
The squad is solely Australian based with the majority of the squad
37
00:02:39,890 --> 00:02:43,470
made up from players aligned with A league academy clubs along with a selection
38
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:46,990
of talent playing at NPL or National Premier League clubs.
39
00:02:47,390 --> 00:02:51,150
Thirteen members of the most recent Commank Joey's roster have
40
00:02:51,650 --> 00:02:55,030
been named in the squad with the team previously in action when they traveled to
41
00:02:55,530 --> 00:02:59,470
China for the hot under 16 tournament. They faced
42
00:02:59,970 --> 00:03:03,490
Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and China in an invitational tournament and
43
00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:07,730
secured victories over Saudi Arabia and Vietnam. Australia will
44
00:03:08,230 --> 00:03:12,650
kick off its AFC Under 17 Asian cup qualifiers on Monday 24th
45
00:03:13,150 --> 00:03:16,890
November with the Joeys opening its campaign against host nation
46
00:03:16,970 --> 00:03:20,610
Jordan. The group winners advance the finals and we will bring
47
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:24,370
it all to you on this very podcast in what,
48
00:03:24,870 --> 00:03:28,330
just over a month's time. All right, that is it for the headlines.
49
00:03:28,830 --> 00:03:32,640
Nice short and sweet this week. No transfer news of course as that transfer window
50
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:36,950
has shut. So let's jump over to the weekly wrap.
51
00:03:46,150 --> 00:03:49,230
All right, weekly wrap time and let's start with our
52
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:53,030
ladies in the US and A where it was a tough afternoon
53
00:03:53,530 --> 00:03:56,630
for the Portland Thorns going down to Gotham FC
54
00:03:57,130 --> 00:04:01,030
3 nil. Yes, that is a real team. It's not some made up Batman
55
00:04:01,530 --> 00:04:05,570
thing from those comics. Mackenzie Arnold played the full game in
56
00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:09,650
goal while Caitlin Torpey came off the bench and got six minutes in that
57
00:04:10,150 --> 00:04:13,690
one. Now to Canada where we did miss the return of
58
00:04:14,190 --> 00:04:18,290
Carly Johnson last week but she continued her, I guess
59
00:04:18,790 --> 00:04:22,330
return from injury. She was a second half substitute coming on
60
00:04:22,830 --> 00:04:26,210
in the 66th minute for Calgary Wild as they beat The
61
00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:30,290
Montreal Roses 2 nil. So great to see Carly back on the pitch
62
00:04:30,530 --> 00:04:33,730
and continuing to build her minutes just in
63
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:38,060
time for Matildas in their international window which comes up at
64
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,420
the end of next month. All right, let's head over to Sweden where Jada
65
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,900
Wyman started in goal for AIK and played the full game in their 52
66
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,059
loss to AV Lewick's BK Hacken. AV played 68
67
00:04:51,559 --> 00:04:55,100
minutes at center back. Christian starred secured a
68
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,260
late point against Malmo if with the score finishing
69
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,420
one all. Amy Sayer started and played the full game for Christian Stadt
70
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,040
while her teammate Remy Simonson played 79 minutes minutes.
71
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,520
Courtney Nevin she was a second half substitute
72
00:05:11,020 --> 00:05:14,960
for Malmo playing 21 minutes. Now to England where we
73
00:05:15,460 --> 00:05:19,360
had plenty of Matildas and soon to be Matilda's hopefully
74
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,040
in action. Alana Kennedy started and played the
75
00:05:23,540 --> 00:05:27,880
full game in the center of defense for the Lion City London City Lionesses.
76
00:05:28,380 --> 00:05:32,280
That is a tongue twister. I apologize. In their 21 win over Crystal palace
77
00:05:32,780 --> 00:05:36,800
in midweek League cup action. She didn't play in
78
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,620
WSL league action on the weekend unfortunately.
79
00:05:41,260 --> 00:05:44,580
Claire Wheeler came off the bench for Everton in the second half in
80
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,820
their 31 loss to Manchester City in League cup action.
81
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:51,620
She then backed it up on the weekend starting and playing the
82
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,860
full game as her side suffered another defeat, this time to Brighton and
83
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,820
Hove Albion 1 nil in the WSL or league action.
84
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:03,900
Charlie's rule. She played 68 minutes for
85
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,390
Brighton who are of course coached by Aussie Dario
86
00:06:08,890 --> 00:06:12,270
Vidic. Tottenham drew Nilore with Aston
87
00:06:12,770 --> 00:06:16,470
Villa. However, they went to penalty shootout because it was league cup
88
00:06:16,970 --> 00:06:20,470
action where Claire Hunt started and played the full game while Charlie
89
00:06:20,970 --> 00:06:24,230
Grant was a second half substitute. Tottenham then
90
00:06:24,730 --> 00:06:28,150
played at the weekend overcoming Leicester City 212
91
00:06:28,310 --> 00:06:31,870
goals early in the first half for the spurs proved too difficult
92
00:06:32,370 --> 00:06:35,790
for the Foxes to overcome. Claire Hunt played the full game in the heart of
93
00:06:36,290 --> 00:06:40,330
defense while Charl Grant was an unused substitute for Spurs. Emily Van
94
00:06:40,830 --> 00:06:44,450
Egmond played the full match for the Foxes as an attacking midfielder.
95
00:06:45,170 --> 00:06:49,170
Our ladies at Arsenal helped their side to a one all draw with Aston
96
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:53,450
Villa in league action at the weekend. Seth Gatley started and played
97
00:06:53,950 --> 00:06:57,650
the full game while Caitlin Ford was introduced in the second half
98
00:06:57,730 --> 00:07:01,730
playing 25 minutes. Kyle Cooney Cross was an
99
00:07:02,230 --> 00:07:05,450
unused substitute in that one. Now Chelsea,
100
00:07:05,950 --> 00:07:09,530
they absolutely smashed West Ham 4 nil in another Aussie derby.
101
00:07:09,690 --> 00:07:12,810
Sam Kerr was a second half substitute for Chelsea while
102
00:07:13,310 --> 00:07:17,050
Ellie Carpenter was an unused substitute. Katrina Gorey
103
00:07:17,130 --> 00:07:20,810
played 78 minutes in midfield for the Hammers.
104
00:07:21,450 --> 00:07:24,850
Now let's head to Germany where TSG Hoffenheim
105
00:07:25,350 --> 00:07:28,850
defeated a brave Guther Firth side in the first round
106
00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:33,150
of the Women's German Cup 2 1. Jamila Rankin started the
107
00:07:33,650 --> 00:07:37,590
match for Hoffenheim. Hayley rasso started her first game for Eintracht
108
00:07:38,090 --> 00:07:41,870
Frankfurt as they secured a 31 victory against Victoria Berlin.
109
00:07:42,750 --> 00:07:46,469
Now let's head to Belgium where Aoife Colville played the full
110
00:07:46,969 --> 00:07:50,110
game for Standard Liege in their two nil loss to Genk.
111
00:07:50,670 --> 00:07:54,230
And rounding out the women's action in Italy as Roma
112
00:07:54,730 --> 00:07:58,870
suffered heartbreak in the Serie A cup final falling 32 to
113
00:07:59,370 --> 00:08:03,170
Juventus to rub salt into the wounds. It was a stoppage time winner scored by
114
00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:07,290
Juventus. However Winona Heatley started and played the full game in
115
00:08:07,790 --> 00:08:11,330
defense for Roma. The Serie A women's season kicks
116
00:08:11,830 --> 00:08:15,690
off next week and we look forward to bringing that to you in
117
00:08:16,190 --> 00:08:19,410
next week's show. That is it for our ladies. So let's head over
118
00:08:19,910 --> 00:08:23,850
to our men and let's start in the United Kingdom where
119
00:08:24,250 --> 00:08:27,810
in the championship Nestry Iron Kunda was Busy in his
120
00:08:28,310 --> 00:08:31,850
83 minutes on the pitch for Watford in their 21 win against Hull
121
00:08:32,350 --> 00:08:36,309
City. On the weekend in league he won four of his six ground jewels
122
00:08:36,809 --> 00:08:40,149
and created a chance in that one to continue his
123
00:08:40,649 --> 00:08:44,349
strong form for Watford. Now Lewis Miller, he played a full game for
124
00:08:44,849 --> 00:08:47,589
Blackburn Rovers in their three nil loss to Charlton Athletic.
125
00:08:48,089 --> 00:08:51,549
Ashley Maynard Brewer was on the bench for Charlton and was an unused
126
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:55,829
substitute. Cameron Burgess, he played a full game for Swansea City
127
00:08:55,989 --> 00:08:59,429
as they drew one all with Millwall. Massimo Luongo,
128
00:08:59,929 --> 00:09:03,909
he played in that one and also completed the full 90 minutes
129
00:09:04,409 --> 00:09:08,020
for Millwall. Adrian Sega, he played 62 minutes
130
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,540
in Portsmouth's 21 loss to Massimo Luonga's former side Ipswich
131
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,820
Town with Hayden Matthews coming on in stoppage time for the side
132
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:20,420
of course, Thomas Waddingham out injured and no Jacob Farrell in the
133
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,300
squad for Portsmouth. There. Now let's drop down a tier to League one,
134
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,780
but specifically Port Vale where Joe Gauche started and
135
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,260
played the full game in EFL League cup action.
136
00:09:32,980 --> 00:09:35,490
They played Arsenal and went down 2 nil.
137
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,880
Joe then backed it up on the weekend in league action.
138
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,680
League one action where he kept a clean sheet for Portvale
139
00:09:44,180 --> 00:09:48,040
against Barnsley in a two nil victory. So righting the wrongs of
140
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,360
midweek action there. Well done Joe.
141
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,600
Now Rafael borges Rodriguez played 70
142
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:58,560
minutes as Wigan Athletic lost 2 nil to Wigan Wanderers in a league
143
00:09:59,060 --> 00:10:03,000
game in midweek. He then came on in the 83rd minute as Wigan
144
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:07,060
Athletic lost 2 nil to Cardiff City at weekend in
145
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:11,420
another league game. All right let's head up to Scotland where Martin
146
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,220
Boyle scored a penalty in her Bernien's 2 or
147
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,980
draw with Falkirk in midweek league action. Jack Iredale was
148
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,060
on on the Hibbs bench and did not make it onto the field in
149
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:28,340
that one. However Jack Idaho then helped his Hib side
150
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,980
hold Celtic to a nil or draw on the weekend in a bit
151
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,910
of an upset there although they didn't get the three points. Quite an achievement holding
152
00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:39,790
the high flying Celtic to a draw there. The defender won
153
00:10:40,290 --> 00:10:43,870
two of his three aerial drills and made 11 clearances. So for
154
00:10:44,370 --> 00:10:48,230
those that play Premier League fantasy he would have got some defcon points as
155
00:10:48,730 --> 00:10:52,870
a little fun fact for you. Martin Boyle he played 67 minutes for Hibbs
156
00:10:53,370 --> 00:10:56,950
in that one. Now Nicholas Milanovic he played 86
157
00:10:57,450 --> 00:11:01,750
minutes as Aberdeen continued their terrible start to the season in
158
00:11:02,250 --> 00:11:04,390
Scotland losing 2 nil to Dundee United.
159
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:08,610
Kasuna Yengi came on in the 67th minute for Aberdeen and Nick
160
00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:12,450
Suman was on the bench whilst for United Ryan Strain
161
00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:16,130
was on the bench and Zach Sapsford played the whole game up front.
162
00:11:16,690 --> 00:11:19,970
The same scenario played out at the weekend in terms of minutes for
163
00:11:20,470 --> 00:11:24,210
our Dundee lads. Dundee United lads I should say, except this time
164
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:28,290
they lost 2 nil to Kilmarnock, so a complete reversal there.
165
00:11:28,530 --> 00:11:32,050
As for the Aberdeen lads at the weekend, Milanovic was
166
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:35,970
left on the bench along with Nick Suman in their two nil lost to Motherwell.
167
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:40,350
This time Kasuni Yangi was not in the matchday squad unfortunately.
168
00:11:40,430 --> 00:11:43,910
So not great science for Cassuni there at Aberdeen.
169
00:11:44,410 --> 00:11:48,390
At the moment, however, it was a much better day for our Aussies at
170
00:11:48,890 --> 00:11:52,190
Motherwell. Johnny Katrumba scored for Motherwell in his 16
171
00:11:52,690 --> 00:11:55,990
minutes on the pitch. He was teed up by a fellow Aussie. No, it wasn't
172
00:11:56,490 --> 00:12:00,870
Oscar Priestman as he didn't get off the bench, but stay tuned for
173
00:12:01,370 --> 00:12:04,630
who it was later in the podcast. There's a little hint for you if you
174
00:12:05,130 --> 00:12:09,370
stay till the end, all right? Cameron Devlin was a midfield machine
175
00:12:09,870 --> 00:12:13,130
for hartz in a 3 nil home win against Falkirk.
176
00:12:13,450 --> 00:12:16,930
In league action, the 27 year old won 7
177
00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:21,130
of his 9 tackles and made 4 interceptions in a dominant display
178
00:12:21,210 --> 00:12:24,490
which took Hearts to the top of the Scottish Premiership.
179
00:12:24,990 --> 00:12:28,570
Can you believe it? Incredible stuff. Teti Yangi.
180
00:12:29,070 --> 00:12:32,460
He was a last minute substitute for Livingston in their dramatic late
181
00:12:33,020 --> 00:12:36,300
loss to Rangers which ended to one.
182
00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:41,420
Now let's head to Italy and in copper Italian
183
00:12:41,740 --> 00:12:46,260
action or cup action, Alessandro Circati
184
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,500
came on at halftime of Parma's penalty victory over
185
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,220
Spezia. The scores were tied to all at at
186
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,540
full time with Parma prevailing 4:3 on penalties
187
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:02,700
despite Gircati's penalty being saved so his
188
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,680
blushes spared there. He then backed it up at the weekend
189
00:13:07,180 --> 00:13:10,880
with a full game in Panama's 21 win over Torino
190
00:13:11,380 --> 00:13:14,960
in league action. So good start to the season for Alessandro
191
00:13:15,460 --> 00:13:19,120
and long may it continue. Now let's head to Germany where Connor Metcalfe
192
00:13:19,620 --> 00:13:23,240
came on in the 80th minute as St Pauli lost 21
193
00:13:23,740 --> 00:13:26,960
to Bayer Leverkusen on the transfer
194
00:13:27,460 --> 00:13:30,920
market website. Jackson Irvine is down as having
195
00:13:31,420 --> 00:13:35,160
a muscular or having muscular problems I should say and
196
00:13:36,420 --> 00:13:40,140
listed as an unknown return date in a worrying sign for
197
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,300
our midfielder. So we will keep you posted on that one. Hopefully it's nothing too
198
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,180
long term. These injuries can snowball and that
199
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:52,460
would not be very good for our senior midfielder
200
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,300
for the Socceroos. Now to Spain where Maddy Ryan played the full
201
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,420
game in goal for Levante as they lost 41 to Real Madrid in
202
00:14:00,820 --> 00:14:04,260
midweek league action. He then backed it up with another
203
00:14:04,340 --> 00:14:08,520
full game as his side drew one all with get tough at the
204
00:14:09,020 --> 00:14:12,120
weekend. Now next door to Portugal where Anthony Carter
205
00:14:12,620 --> 00:14:16,800
played 41 minutes for Santa Clara in their 21 loss to Tondela.
206
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,840
Now to Croatia where Anthony Kallik played until the 69th minute
207
00:14:21,340 --> 00:14:25,320
and was replaced conveniently by Frank Karasic for
208
00:14:25,820 --> 00:14:29,640
Hajic Split as they beat Copa Vincia 41
209
00:14:30,140 --> 00:14:34,440
in the Croatian Cup. Then at the weekend in league action Fran Karachic
210
00:14:34,940 --> 00:14:38,880
set up Anthony kali for Hajic Split's second goal in a two
211
00:14:39,380 --> 00:14:42,800
nil win over NK Lokomotiva. Karadi also
212
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:46,720
won both his tackles and made three interceptions. Kalik came
213
00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:51,080
on in the 60th minute for his side while Karasic played the whole game
214
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,840
and definitely Kalik was an impact sub rounding
215
00:14:56,340 --> 00:14:59,840
out that game with that second goal. All right, let's head to the Netherlands where
216
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:04,050
Jordan Boss assisted the winning goal, playing a full game for Feyenoord
217
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:08,530
in a one nil win over Groningen. Boss has three
218
00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:13,690
goal contributions in seven matches for the league leading Feyenoord. So congratulations
219
00:15:14,190 --> 00:15:17,890
there. Jordan Boss was on the bench for Feyenoord
220
00:15:18,390 --> 00:15:21,650
in Europa League action in midweek. If you were wondering as well,
221
00:15:21,970 --> 00:15:25,850
Arun Justic he provided an assist and what a lovely through ball
222
00:15:26,350 --> 00:15:30,730
it was as he played all of Heracles Alamelo's three
223
00:15:31,230 --> 00:15:34,250
nil win over Sparta Rotterdam. Now here's
224
00:15:34,750 --> 00:15:37,570
that red card we were talking about earlier. Max Ballard he was sent off after
225
00:15:38,070 --> 00:15:42,370
71 minutes as Nac Breider lost 21 to Ajax
226
00:15:42,690 --> 00:15:46,050
Amsterdam. So unfortunate for Max. He will
227
00:15:46,550 --> 00:15:50,290
be ruled out for the next couple of games but we'll keep you updated
228
00:15:50,370 --> 00:15:54,130
on that. Now to Austria where Noah Bottic played
229
00:15:54,630 --> 00:15:58,610
67 minutes and scored his first goal for Austria Veen
230
00:15:59,110 --> 00:16:02,770
in their 31 win over Rapid Veen in the Vienna Derby.
231
00:16:02,930 --> 00:16:06,810
Marco Tilio came on in the 66 minute for Rapid Veen
232
00:16:07,310 --> 00:16:10,370
in that one. Jacob Italiano he played the full game for
233
00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:14,290
Grazer AK, helping his side keep a clean sheet in a nil or draw
234
00:16:14,790 --> 00:16:18,690
riff read. Now to Denmark where Marcus Yunus was a
235
00:16:19,190 --> 00:16:22,770
late sub getting five minutes for Bronby in their comprehensive
236
00:16:22,930 --> 00:16:26,740
51 win over Odense. Now to Norway where
237
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,700
gianni Stenzness played 67 minutes for
238
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,940
Viking in their two nil win over Ike Tonsberg.
239
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,820
With Nick D' Agostino left out of the matchday squad in that
240
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,140
midweek league game on the weekend, Nick D' Agostino came on in
241
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,580
the 57th minute as Viking drew three all with Sapsburg 08.
242
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:51,900
Gianni Stanzness came on in the 67th minute for
243
00:16:52,340 --> 00:16:56,180
his side. Now to Serbia where middle of Steganecht
244
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,380
helped TSC Bakatopola keep a clean sheet in a one nil
245
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,340
win against Novi Pazar. Now to Czechia
246
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,660
or Czech Republic with Czech cup action. Garon Qual
247
00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:12,220
made his first start for Sparta Prague, playing 80
248
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,340
minutes as his side beat Karlovy Vari 5
249
00:17:16,420 --> 00:17:20,220
nil. It then came on in the 80th minute as Sparta
250
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,279
Prague beat Banik Ostrava 3 nil in league action on
251
00:17:24,779 --> 00:17:28,399
the weekend how about that for a bit of symmetry in terms of playing 80
252
00:17:28,899 --> 00:17:32,519
minutes and then coming on in the 80th minute for Garen Qual, but good
253
00:17:33,019 --> 00:17:36,719
to see him getting some minutes nonetheless. Now let's head to
254
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:40,238
North America USA and Canada for MLS action
255
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:43,919
where Aidan O' Neill played a full game for New York City FC
256
00:17:44,239 --> 00:17:47,999
in their heavy 4 nil loss to Inter
257
00:17:48,499 --> 00:17:52,199
Miami in midweek league action. He then played 82 minutes
258
00:17:52,699 --> 00:17:56,340
in the New York Derby, helping his side down. New York Red Bulls
259
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,860
32 in an epic, Giuseppe Bovalina played
260
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:05,260
18 minutes of Vancouver Whitecaps 1 All draw with Portland
261
00:18:05,820 --> 00:18:09,780
in league action. That was during midweek on
262
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,140
the weekend he was on the bench but didn't get any minutes. Ky rolls
263
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,460
he played all of DC United's heavy heavy loss 6
264
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,780
nil to Philadelphia Union. Patrick Yazbek started and
265
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,260
played 57 minutes for Nashville in a 31 win against Houston
266
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,560
D. In league action, Archie Goodwin was a late
267
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,360
sub playing three minutes for Charlotte FC in their 41
268
00:18:35,860 --> 00:18:39,240
loss to CF Montreal and drowning out the action in North
269
00:18:39,740 --> 00:18:43,680
America. Ariyard Piol followed in Archie Goodwin's footsteps,
270
00:18:44,180 --> 00:18:48,200
getting three minutes for Al Salt Lake in their 31 win over Austin.
271
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,760
And finally, let's stop in Japan where Thomas Deng played a
272
00:18:53,260 --> 00:18:56,960
full game as Yokohama F Marinos lost 31 to Gamba
273
00:18:57,460 --> 00:19:01,320
Osaka in midweek league action. Mitch Duke came
274
00:19:01,820 --> 00:19:05,040
on in the 75th minute as Makaida Zelvia drew one all
275
00:19:05,540 --> 00:19:08,360
with Kyoto Sanga in J League midweek action.
276
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,440
He then backed it up by playing the first half of Makaida Zelba's
277
00:19:12,940 --> 00:19:16,440
one nil win against Faggiano Okayama in league
278
00:19:16,940 --> 00:19:20,800
action. All right, that's it for the weekly wrap. Next up is Players
279
00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:24,120
of the Week and we'll wrap up the episode. Stay tuned.
280
00:19:32,730 --> 00:19:36,010
All right, Players of the Week time and it is our Women's Player
281
00:19:36,510 --> 00:19:40,010
of the Week. It goes to Daniela Galic who scored
282
00:19:40,090 --> 00:19:43,370
the opening goal in her side Vizio's 32
283
00:19:43,870 --> 00:19:47,530
win over Pattaya. If she then went on to play 76
284
00:19:47,610 --> 00:19:51,650
minutes in the victory, that was her third goal in six starts
285
00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:55,130
since the Swedish league returned from its mid season break.
286
00:19:55,370 --> 00:19:59,130
So well done Daniela and keep up the good form. No doubt
287
00:19:59,630 --> 00:20:03,950
she has caught the eyes of of Matilda's coach Joe Montemiro
288
00:20:04,030 --> 00:20:07,710
and might be a bit of a dark horse for that squad.
289
00:20:07,790 --> 00:20:10,350
Let's see later in the month.
290
00:20:11,150 --> 00:20:14,790
All right now our Men's Player of the Week. Well we alluded
291
00:20:15,290 --> 00:20:18,870
to this one earlier in the show. It is Apostolos Damatilopoulos
292
00:20:19,370 --> 00:20:23,270
who scored his first goal of the season and contributed an assist for fellow
293
00:20:23,770 --> 00:20:27,030
Aussie Johnny Katrumbas in Motherwell's two nil win
294
00:20:27,530 --> 00:20:30,780
over Aberdeen. There were plenty of goals to pick from this week,
295
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,020
some assists as well, but there was only one player who
296
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,100
pulled off both and it was Stammer. So great to see. And let's
297
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,660
see if he is picked in Tony Popovich's Socceroos
298
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,620
squad, which should be announced later this week. And of course we will bring that
299
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:51,620
to you in next week's episode. All right, well, that is it for another week
300
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:55,480
of the Aussie football passport. I hope you enjoyed this episode. Make sure you

307
00:21:19,860 --> 00:21:23,120
an incentive to leave one once we get to 10 reviews, I'll look to put

00:21:23,620 --> 00:21:27,140

310
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,420
catch you in the next episode. Goodbye for now.
