00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:15,640
Foreign welcome

2
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:19,800
to the Aussie football passport, your one stop pod for updates on your favorite Aussie

3
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:23,560
men and women who are playing their club careers abroad. I'm your host Alex and

4
00:00:24,060 --> 00:00:27,440
this week there is plenty to cover as we have finally

5
00:00:27,940 --> 00:00:31,640
the Socceroos squad to play the Kiwis in the ANZAC series at the

6
00:00:32,140 --> 00:00:36,080
end of this week and into next week, updates from the under 16 ASEAN

7
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:39,800
tournament for our young girls there, goal scoring heroics

8
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:44,000
and some big transfers to cover. So without further ado,

9
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:46,080
let's get in to the headlines.

10
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,440
All right, headlines and as we close in

11
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,020
on the European transfer window closure closing,

12
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,820
we've got some big transfers to announce this week and it

13
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,580
starts off with soccero's captain Matty Ryan who has signed a one year

14
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,620
deal with Levante in La Liga in Spain. Of course

15
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,899
the top division there. He does have an option for a further year

16
00:01:15,399 --> 00:01:18,740
as well. So good to see Matty Ryan get a good move. He of

17
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,980
course does have experience of La Liga having played for Valencia I think

18
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,460
about 10 years ago from memory. All right, Marco Tillio finally

19
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:31,480
gets his move. It is to Rapid veen on a four year

20
00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:36,080
deal or rapid Vienna for US English speakers. The transfer

21
00:01:36,580 --> 00:01:40,280
fee is believed to be 1.3 million pounds or 2.7

22
00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:44,600
million Australian dollars. You might want to fact check the

23
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,880
currency depending on when you listen to this podcast,

24
00:01:48,380 --> 00:01:52,440
but that's sort of the round figures of course. Marco Tillio puts his

25
00:01:52,940 --> 00:01:55,880
nightmare spell at Celtic behind him with that move.

26
00:01:56,830 --> 00:02:00,630
Garon Kwol has completed a move to AC Sparta Prague

27
00:02:01,130 --> 00:02:05,110
in the Czech first Division. He joins from English

28
00:02:05,610 --> 00:02:09,350
Premier League outfit Newcastle United and signs a four year deal.

29
00:02:09,850 --> 00:02:13,550
The transfer fee is believed to be half a million pounds.

30
00:02:14,050 --> 00:02:18,110
There. Now to an Aussie who is moving from Western

31
00:02:18,610 --> 00:02:22,150
Sydney wonders to where else but Scotland. Oscar Preisman,

32
00:02:22,650 --> 00:02:26,030
he signed with MotherWell on a three year deal and he'll join

33
00:02:26,530 --> 00:02:30,970
fellow Australians Johnny Katrumbra and Apostolis Damatilopoulos at

34
00:02:31,470 --> 00:02:35,170
Motherwell. Now over to our ladies and two big moves that have

35
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:39,090
happened in the last week. Alana Kennedy, she's joined the London

36
00:02:39,590 --> 00:02:43,130
City Lionesses from Angel City fc. We don't have

37
00:02:43,210 --> 00:02:46,250
a length of contract on that one unfortunately,

38
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:50,570
but if it does come to hand we will let you know. And Hayley

39
00:02:51,070 --> 00:02:54,730
Rasso puts behind her nightmare spell at Tottenham

40
00:02:55,230 --> 00:02:59,010
Hotspur. She has signed a two year deal with untracked Frankfurt in

41
00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:03,350
Germany in top flight there, iron track to finish third in

42
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:06,470
the Women's Bundesliga last season.

43
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:11,550
All right now let's head to some other news headlines and

44
00:03:12,050 --> 00:03:15,350
let's Start with our junior Matildas who secured their

45
00:03:15,850 --> 00:03:20,230
place in the final of the ASEAN Under 16 Girls Championship with

46
00:03:20,730 --> 00:03:23,910
a 30 win against tournament hosts Indonesia.

47
00:03:24,310 --> 00:03:27,950
In that one we got a a couple of goals

48
00:03:28,450 --> 00:03:32,650
from our player of the week who we will mention later on in the the

49
00:03:33,150 --> 00:03:36,850
heat did begin to affect the girls as you can imagine with play slowing down.

50
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:40,890
However, it was captain Kaya Jugovic who scored in the

51
00:03:41,390 --> 00:03:45,250
ATF minute to put the icing on the cake in that one. The girls

52
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:48,810
of course then progressed to the final which was two days later. Can you

53
00:03:49,310 --> 00:03:52,410
believe it? So quite a difficult task for the girls to back

54
00:03:52,910 --> 00:03:57,090
up, but they managed to get a hard fought one nil victory over Thailand.

55
00:03:57,170 --> 00:04:00,690
In that final. The goal came from

56
00:04:01,190 --> 00:04:04,630
none other than Theo Matoyos Mikolad. It was

57
00:04:05,130 --> 00:04:08,430
a bit of a tap in but look, a goal is a goal and it

58
00:04:08,930 --> 00:04:12,030
won the tournament for the girls. So congratulations to them.

59
00:04:12,750 --> 00:04:16,750
Some notable individual awards they went to Annabelle Kroll who was

60
00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:20,990
awarded the best goalkeeper and captain Kaya Jugovic received

61
00:04:21,150 --> 00:04:24,830
the MVP or Most Valuable Player award from

62
00:04:25,330 --> 00:04:28,750
that one. So congratulations to the girls and we look forward to seeing

63
00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:33,030
hopefully their progression to the senior Matilda squad in years to

64
00:04:33,530 --> 00:04:37,230
come. All right now the Australian men's under 23 side

65
00:04:37,730 --> 00:04:41,310
has been confirmed with some changes made due to senior

66
00:04:41,810 --> 00:04:45,390
call ups. Most notably of course Adrian Sega. We'll get to that in

67
00:04:45,890 --> 00:04:50,270
just a second, but POD regulars Jed Drew and Kelian Adamson have

68
00:04:50,770 --> 00:04:54,150
been called up to the squad along with Giuseppe Bovalino

69
00:04:54,650 --> 00:04:58,110

the mls but unfortunately hasn't been seeing many minutes of late.

71
00:05:02,110 --> 00:05:05,300
Now to that senior Socceroo squad that Tony Poppa

72
00:05:05,770 --> 00:05:09,490

00:06:03,190 --> 00:06:06,990
work towards next year's World cup in north and

87
00:06:07,490 --> 00:06:11,010

88
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:13,010

00:06:34,630 --> 00:06:37,840

104
00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:28,320

105
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,720

00:09:56,900 --> 00:10:01,040
same opposition. All right, let's head over to the

men's club action and let's start in England and Wales,

143
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,840
specifically in the championship where Cameron Burgess played

144
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,480

Rafael Borges Rodriguez played an hour of Coventry

154
00:10:50,490 --> 00:10:54,070
City played an hour for Coventry City I should say in that

155
00:10:54,570 --> 00:10:58,590

156
00:10:59,090 --> 00:11:02,390
a full game for Millwall as they lost 2 nil to Wrexham

157
00:11:02,950 --> 00:11:06,190

in Championship league action. Now Sam Silvera

163
00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:29,970
Recent Socceroos recall he played the first

164
00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:34,570
half of Middlesbrough's 10 win over Sheffield United on the weekend in

165
00:11:35,070 --> 00:11:38,730
Championship league action. Tom Glover was on the bench for his side but

166
00:11:39,230 --> 00:11:42,930
did not get any minutes of course being the backup goalkeeper and Riley

167
00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:47,900
McGree is out injured still and is recovering

168
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,180
so hope to see Riley back soon. Lewis Miller

169
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:56,580
he was subbed on in the 77th minute of Blackburn Rovers 2 nil

170
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,460
loss to Norwich. Shetty also in championship action now

171
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,260
to Portsmouth aka Little Australia. Adrian Segajic

172
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,500
he played until the 90th minute for Portsmouth as they got past Preston

173
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,780
North End 1 nil. Thomas Waddingham did come on for Adrian

174
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,420
segaa in the 90th minute there. Hayden Matthews he was on

175
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,520
the bench but got no Minutes Unfortun Portry and Jacob Farrell was not in the

176
00:12:22,020 --> 00:12:25,240
matchday squad. Okay, let's drop down a division

177
00:12:25,740 --> 00:12:29,640
to League one where Socceroo's goalkeeper Joe

178
00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:33,840
Gauchi kept his first clean sheet for his new side Port Vale

179
00:12:34,340 --> 00:12:38,480
as they stunned EFL championship side Birmingham City

180
00:12:38,980 --> 00:12:42,640
in a one nil victory. Of course Birmingham heavily invested

181
00:12:43,140 --> 00:12:47,000
and have Tom Brady as part of their ownership group.

182
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,140
So a massive upset, a cup set if you and

183
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,100
great to see that Joe was part of that. He of course backed it

184
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,020
up on the weekend in league action but unfortunately his side could not

185
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,540
back up that wonderful defeat. They went down 1 nil to reading there.

186
00:13:04,660 --> 00:13:08,340
Now let's head north of the border to Scotland where Martin Boyle played

187
00:13:08,420 --> 00:13:12,020
90 minutes and got a goal for Hibbs in a three all

188
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,260
draw with Lego Warsaw in Conference League qualification

189
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,620
action. Unfortunately Hibbs will not progress in the tournament as a

190
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,200
result of that game against Legia Warsaw and the first leg

191
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,560
that we covered last week. Marty did back

192
00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:33,200
up on the weekend and played 64 minutes as Hibbs

193
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:36,720
drew one all with Keanu Backus St Mirren.

194
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,160
Keanu played the full game in midfield for his side

195
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,480
now Kasuni Yengi he and

196
00:13:44,980 --> 00:13:48,400
Nicholas Milanovic both came on in the 66th minute

197
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,400
for Aberdeen as they went down 3 nil to FS

198
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,700
FCSB in UEFA Europa League qualification.

199
00:13:57,580 --> 00:14:01,660
They went out unfortunately 52 on aggregate

200
00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:05,580
there. So unfortunate start to season for Aberdeen and

201
00:14:05,980 --> 00:14:10,060
well it continued at the weekend when Kitsuniengi

202
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:14,060
played the first half of Aberdeen's 1 nil lost to Falkirk.

203
00:14:14,620 --> 00:14:18,602
Nicholas Milanovic was subbed off in the 54

204
00:14:18,838 --> 00:14:22,580
54th minute I should say. Aberdeen of course at the

205
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,640
bottom of the Scottish Premier League t not

206
00:14:27,140 --> 00:14:30,320
that long after they won the Scottish Cup. So let's

207
00:14:30,820 --> 00:14:34,920
see what happens with our Aussies there at Aberdeen. No doubt things will change

208
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,520
very soon I think and whether that is a cause

209
00:14:39,020 --> 00:14:42,440
for concern for the lads minutes we shall have to wait

210
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,320
and see. Now Cameron Devlin, he played all

211
00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:50,000
of Hart's 21 win over Livingston on on the

212
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:54,120
weekend. Ryan McGowan, he played a full game for Libby while Tetty

213
00:14:54,620 --> 00:14:56,600
Yangi played 72 minutes there. Yeah,

214
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,040
Apostolos D He played a full game for Motherwell in their two

215
00:15:02,540 --> 00:15:06,040
all draw with Kilmarnock. Oscar Priestman debuted in the

216
00:15:06,540 --> 00:15:10,120
same game playing 18 minutes and John Katumbras played three minutes

217
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,120
for all for Motherwell. Now Zach Sapsford

218
00:15:14,620 --> 00:15:18,320
has returned from injury, played 78 minutes and got a goal

219
00:15:18,820 --> 00:15:22,640
for Dundee United in their two nil win over Dundee in the

220
00:15:23,140 --> 00:15:26,720
Dundee Derby that is a bit of a tongue twister but well done to Zach

221
00:15:27,220 --> 00:15:31,560
Sapsford won the praises of his coach noting that he wasn't 100%

222
00:15:32,060 --> 00:15:35,760
fit but pushed through the pain barrier to play and what a result.

223
00:15:36,260 --> 00:15:38,840
He helped his side win a feisty derby.

224
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,240
All right, now let's head to Italy where Alessandro Circati

225
00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:47,800
played a full game for Parma as they drew with Atalanta

226
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:51,940
1 all. Now to Spain and Matty Ryan, he made

227
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,460
his debut for Levante as they went down 2 nil to Elche.

228
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,380
He played a full game in goal and couldn't

229
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,820
do much there as Elche got the win.

230
00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:08,740
Now let's drop to the second division in Spain where Alamabil

231
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,580
played all of Castellon's one all draw with Real Zaragoza.

232
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:18,480
Over to Germany. Connor Metcalfe, he came on in the 83rd

233
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,000
minute of St Pauli's win over

234
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:25,760
Hamburg two nil in the derby there of course

235
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,560
Jackson Irvine still out injured and no updates on

236
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,880
when we will expect him back, but hopefully

237
00:16:34,380 --> 00:16:38,000
soon. Now to Portugal where Anthony Carter played 31

238
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:41,520
minutes for Santa Clara in Daniel or draw with Estrella.

239
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,640
Now to Netherlands and Jordy Boss. He scored his

240
00:16:46,140 --> 00:16:49,800
first goal for Feyenoord. He also played a full game as

241
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,040
his side beat Sparta Rotterdam in the Rotterdam

242
00:16:54,540 --> 00:16:57,640
derby. And the result 4 nil to Feyenoord there.

243
00:16:57,719 --> 00:17:01,600
Incredible stuff, great to see and we will share Jordy's

244
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:05,320
goal on our social media platforms because it is

245
00:17:05,820 --> 00:17:08,680
a absolute belter and one you don't want to miss.

246
00:17:09,499 --> 00:17:12,539
Okay. Now to Max Ballard. He played a full game

247

lost to FC Copenhagen. Paul Ito was

270
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,320
the Randa's goalkeeper and faced an absolute firing

271
00:18:51,820 --> 00:18:55,380
squad unfortunately in that one and not a lot you can do when

272
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,540
that is happening. Now over to Serbia and Milos Degenerk played a

273
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,460

00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:38,460

283
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,180
wrap in Japan where Mitch Duke came on in the 85th minute

284
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,340
for his side Makeda Zelvia as they lost 53

285
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,460
to Kawasaki Frontale in an absolute goal

286
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,780
fest there. Eight goals in total in that one. All right, well that is it

287
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,300
for the weekly wrap and almost my voice by the sound of things.

288
00:19:59,020 --> 00:20:01,900
Next we will get to the Players of the Week.

289
00:20:10,380 --> 00:20:14,700
All right, Players of the Week time and I have refreshed

290
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,480
my voice to get through to the end of this podcast

291
00:20:18,980 --> 00:20:22,920
this week. Apologies listeners. All right, Players of the Week Women's

292
00:20:23,420 --> 00:20:26,960
Player of the Week it goes to none other than Abby Puckett who I alluded

293
00:20:27,460 --> 00:20:31,200
to earlier in the show. Her match winning race against Indonesia that booked

294
00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:35,280
the under 16 girls into the final is exactly

295
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,640
the kind of thing we want to see and was worthy

296
00:20:39,140 --> 00:20:42,760
of any award, let alone this one. So we hope to see Abby develop over

297
00:20:43,260 --> 00:20:46,800
the coming years and make her way into the senior Matilda squad. No doubt

298
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:50,160
she will. She has all the potential in the world to do so.

299
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,280
So one to keep an eye on there. Now to

300
00:20:54,780 --> 00:20:58,160
our Men's Player of the Week and who said lightning doesn't strike twice?

301
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,119
Because guess what? Nestery Iron Kunde. He gets the award again.

302
00:21:02,619 --> 00:21:05,840
There was plenty of contestants this week. It was hard to split

303
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,720
between him and Jordy Boss, but we've gone with Nestry because

304
00:21:10,220 --> 00:21:14,140
he scored another absolute worldy of a free kick for Watford this time

305
00:21:14,380 --> 00:21:16,860
in their two all draw with Southampton.

306
00:21:17,260 --> 00:21:20,460
I'd actually say that this one is better than the one he scored

307
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,260
last week so we've shared that one on our social media so go

308
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,940
and check it out. If not jump on YouTube and just highlight sorry

309
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,300
search the highlights for West Watford's two or draw against

310
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,380
Southampton. I will get that right eventually but definitely one

311
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,140
you want to go and watch. All right, well that is it for another week

312
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,040
