Under 23 Women Crowned ASEAN Champions and a Whole Lot More!

1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:15,320
Foreign welcome

2
00:00:15,820 --> 00:00:19,720
to the Aussie football Passport, your one stop pod for updates on your favorite Aussie

3
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:23,520
men and women who are playing their club careers abroad. I'm your host, Alex.

4
00:00:24,020 --> 00:00:27,120
And this week there is plenty to cover as our under 23 women

5
00:00:27,620 --> 00:00:31,570
are crowned Asian Champions para Matilda's updates from their

6
00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:35,770
Intercontinental cup tournament national team selections for our

7
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:39,450
men's teams. There are also awards to one of our Aussies

8
00:00:39,950 --> 00:00:43,570
abroad and of course, plenty of club action to cover from

9
00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:48,050
the past week in the footballing world. And after a

10
00:00:48,550 --> 00:00:52,050
couple of weeks off, we've got a couple of transfer rumors to go through.

11
00:00:52,290 --> 00:00:56,230
So the transfer window of course is nearing its end and and

12
00:00:57,590 --> 00:01:00,870
the rumors are only getting stronger at this point in time.

13
00:01:01,190 --> 00:01:04,790
All right, without any further ado, let's jump into

14
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:06,150
the news headlines.

15
00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:15,150
All right, as promised, let's get into the transfer rumor

16
00:01:15,650 --> 00:01:19,190
mill where we've got Matthew Ryan reportedly drawing interest from Spanish

17
00:01:19,690 --> 00:01:23,270
La Liga club Levante of late.

18
00:01:23,430 --> 00:01:26,670
He's also been linked with offers from the Turkish

19
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:30,700
Super League, particularly Riserspor and Antalya Spor.

20
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:33,500
So let's see what happens if Matty Ryan, of course,

21
00:01:33,740 --> 00:01:37,500
earlier in the transfer window we talked about him being linked with

22
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,660
a couple of French clubs and also a return to Az Alkmaar, but nothing

23
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,900
has come through as of yet, which is a little bit worrying. But there is

24
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:49,140
still time, of course. The European transfer

25
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,940
window typically shuts for most countries on the 1st of

26
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,940
September, so still a week and a bit to go for Matty. All right now,

27
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,060
Marco Tillio, this is Tom turning into a bit of a saga for poor old

28
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,620
Marco. He's reportedly close to signing with Austria Vienna on

29
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,220
a permanent deal from Celtic. Celtic of course,

30
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,340
have dug their heels in until a replacement has been

31
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,540
found, but Brendan Rodgers is at war with the Celtic board at

32
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,900
the moment. So all very interesting there in Scotland and let's

33
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,940
just hope that Marco gets his move sooner

34
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,340
rather than later. Now another one who's caught the eye. It's Mohamed Toure.

35
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,780
He's drawn the interest from Austrian club Sturm Graz. So yes,

36
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,260
another Aussie on their way to Austria. Let's wait and see.

37
00:02:38,740 --> 00:02:42,260
All right now for other news headlines. Well, one of

38
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,220
the podcast favorites, Nectar Triantis, he has officially

39
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,820
switched his national allegiance to Greece, so that means we will no longer be covering

40
00:02:51,060 --> 00:02:54,580
him on the pod as a result. So you'll have to go

41
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,560
on some sort of Greek podcast to follow of his career, unfortunately, but I

42
00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:02,400
will put a little bit of a conclusion on that one to let you know

43
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:06,160
that he has signed A four year deal with Minnesota United in the MLS

44
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,120
after what seems like an eternity and being linked to

45
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:14,080
every single club along the way. So all the best to Nectar in

46
00:03:14,580 --> 00:03:18,320
his career. All right now the Para Matildas of course we talked

47
00:03:18,820 --> 00:03:22,240
about them the past couple of weeks as they prepared

48
00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:26,240
for the Intercontinental Cup. Well it has been run and done and

49
00:03:26,740 --> 00:03:30,100
they finished runners up. They're losing the final

50
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,220
to the USA 71. Unfortunately they also did

51
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,540
lose their last group game with the USA.

52
00:03:38,940 --> 00:03:42,540
That one ended 5 nil. But it wasn't all doom and gloom for

53
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,140
our girls as they beat Denmark 51 in the tournament opener.

54
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,460
They then got past the Netherlands 62 and Nepal 5

55
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,340
nil. So all in all a good tournament. Obviously they would have

56
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,440
loved to have won it, but you know still a pretty good showing

57
00:03:58,940 --> 00:04:03,040
from the girls and something for them to build on as they progress towards

58
00:04:03,540 --> 00:04:08,040
the next tournament. All right now the under The

59
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:11,720
Australian Under 23 squad has claimed a

60
00:04:12,220 --> 00:04:16,200
one nil victory over Myanmar who of course they lost to in

61
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:20,440
their opening game in the ASEAN Championship. So that means that

62
00:04:20,940 --> 00:04:24,720
they have now won the ASEAN Championship. So well done to our ladies there.

63
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,470
Holly Furphy, Canadian, continued her wonderful tournament with the goal

64
00:04:28,970 --> 00:04:32,510
in the 66th minute. So congratulations to our girls. Hopefully a sign of

65
00:04:33,010 --> 00:04:36,710
things to come and many, many of those names hopefully progressing to the

66
00:04:37,210 --> 00:04:40,590
senior Matilda squad. Now speaking of Matilda's, Mary Fowler

67
00:04:41,090 --> 00:04:45,670
was selected in the 20242025 PFA

68
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:49,510
WSL team of the Year as voted by her

69
00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:53,510
professionals or fellow professionals I should say, across England's top

70
00:04:54,010 --> 00:04:57,150
division. So that's the first time she's been named in

71
00:04:57,650 --> 00:05:01,810
the year and comes off the back of a season where she scored six

72
00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:05,650
goals and provided seven assists for her club side Manchester

73
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:09,570
City. And of course her season was cut short in April with

74
00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:13,730
that ACL injury. However, in good timing for

75
00:05:14,050 --> 00:05:17,850
good news surrounding Mary Fowler, she has shared pictures of

76
00:05:18,350 --> 00:05:22,450
herself back in training this week. So fingers crossed she

77
00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:26,330
continues her recovery and we see her back on the pitch sooner rather than later

78
00:05:26,830 --> 00:05:30,230
because she is a genuine superstar. All right

79
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:34,270
now let's go down to our junior matildas,

80
00:05:34,770 --> 00:05:39,270
the under 16s. They've opened their ASEAN championship campaign

81
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:42,910
in style, overcoming Thailand 21 and Thailand

82
00:05:43,410 --> 00:05:47,070
of course, other defending champions of that tournament. The breakthrough in

83
00:05:47,570 --> 00:05:51,670
that one came through in the 16th minute when Aaron Tarrant curled

84
00:05:52,170 --> 00:05:55,790
a free kick and found Maeve Nichols who rose above

85
00:05:56,290 --> 00:05:59,410
the defense to head home that one. The girls had to

86
00:05:59,910 --> 00:06:03,690
wait until the 67th minute to get their second was Vice Captain

87
00:06:04,190 --> 00:06:07,890
Kayo Djokovic who unleashed a stunning long range,

88
00:06:08,050 --> 00:06:11,090
long range strike from outside the box there.

89
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:14,650
Thailand. Thailand pulled a goal back in the 87th minute

90
00:06:15,150 --> 00:06:18,610
to set up a tense finish. Seven minutes of added time there

91
00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:22,770
as well as Thailand pushed hard for an equalizer but Australia's

92
00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:26,890
defense stood tall under pressure. All right. The girls

93
00:06:27,390 --> 00:06:31,100
then followed up that win with a second victory,

94
00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:35,180
this time against Singapore and it was three nil and

95
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,580
they stay on top of Group C there. That result means that they

96
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,540
booked their spot in the final four of the tournament.

97
00:06:43,180 --> 00:06:46,900
Coach Mike Cooper made eight changes to the side that

98
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,420
defeated Thailand for the one against Singapore, so we will bring

99
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,720
you updates on how they progress further into the tournament next

100
00:06:57,220 --> 00:07:00,480
in next week's episode. All right now I just want to put in a quick

101
00:07:00,980 --> 00:07:04,280
note to recognize the 50th anniversary of the Matildas

102
00:07:04,780 --> 00:07:08,360
and their participation in the first ever Women's Asian Cup.

103
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,919
So what a storied history and a moment

104
00:07:12,419 --> 00:07:16,360
to reflect on how far our ladies national team

105
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,760
has come. All right now let's round it out with

106
00:07:20,260 --> 00:07:24,480
some men's news and Tony Vidbar has named his under 23 men's

107
00:07:24,980 --> 00:07:28,540
side to travel to Saudi Arabia for the Asian cup qualifiers.

108
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,140
It is a 24 man squad and the boys will be playing China,

109
00:07:33,540 --> 00:07:36,820
Northern Mariana Islands and Timor Leste.

110
00:07:37,220 --> 00:07:40,740
The squad is headlined by a couple of Aussie lads who are

111
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,140
currently playing in the English Championship or the second division there in

112
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,140
the form of Portsmouth, Adrian Sega and

113
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,260
QPR's Keely Adamson. Quite interesting to

114
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,780
note that Adrian has been named in the under 23 side as

115
00:07:57,860 --> 00:08:01,200
a lot of people did have him being selected for the senior

116
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:05,120
side with the upcoming friendlies against New

117
00:08:05,620 --> 00:08:09,080
Zealand coming up. So very interesting. Of course under

118
00:08:09,580 --> 00:08:13,560
23 side has been named before the senior side and the senior

119
00:08:14,060 --> 00:08:17,640
side is believed to be being announced at the

120
00:08:18,140 --> 00:08:21,280
end of this week. So we'll stay tuned for that one and let's see

121
00:08:21,780 --> 00:08:25,200
if Adrian ends up progressing to the senior side.

122
00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:29,750
Anyway, the games for our under 23s will take

123
00:08:30,250 --> 00:08:32,870
place on the 3rd, 6th and 9th of September.

124
00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:36,590
But don't worry, we will update you on the lads progress in

125
00:08:37,090 --> 00:08:39,990
the tournament in the coming weeks. All right,

126
00:08:40,070 --> 00:08:43,590
that is it for the headlines for this week. Next we will

127
00:08:44,090 --> 00:08:45,190
move on to the weekly wrap.

128
00:08:54,430 --> 00:08:57,630
All right, it's weekly wrap time and let's start with our ladies in

129
00:08:58,130 --> 00:09:01,310
the United States of America where Mackenzie Arnold played the full

130
00:09:01,810 --> 00:09:05,670
game between the posts for Portland Thorns in an unfortunate 2 nil loss to

131
00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:10,070
Kansas City. Current Caitlin Torpy, she did not get off the bench in

132
00:09:10,570 --> 00:09:14,590
that one but was in the matchday squad. Now Morgan Aquino, she also

133
00:09:14,670 --> 00:09:18,150
played a full game in between these sticks for

134
00:09:18,650 --> 00:09:22,660
DC Power FC in their 31 win over

135
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,900
Sporting Jacks in the USL. Now a

136
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,300
bit of an interesting one here. The USL is also the top division in the

137
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,340
us but is not the uswl.

138
00:09:34,980 --> 00:09:38,580
Uswsl. I should say so. Just American

139
00:09:38,660 --> 00:09:42,740
things just makes things really confusing for people trying to

140
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,500
follow football from outside the usa. You keep doing

141
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,540
you America. All right, let's move on to Sweden and Kristianstad

142
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:56,440
went down to Hammerby a one nil and our ladies, Amy Sayer

143
00:09:56,940 --> 00:10:00,400
she played a full game while Remy Siemenson played 73 minutes

144
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:04,960
of that one. Courtney Nevin continues her hot form

145
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,800
with a full game for her side Melmo in an

146
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,880
highly entertaining 52 win over Rompocana.

147
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,960
Apologies Swedish listeners. Jada Wyman,

148
00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:21,010
she got a full game for AIKA in goal as they

149
00:10:21,510 --> 00:10:25,770
went down 1 nil to Jurgarden. There now Avi

150
00:10:26,270 --> 00:10:30,330
Luik, she played the full game in BK Hackens 31 loss to

151
00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:34,610
IFK Norcoping as well. And to

152
00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:39,250
round out the action in Sweden we did have an Australian derby between Linkoping

153
00:10:39,650 --> 00:10:43,570
and Vitio. It ended in Linkoping's

154
00:10:44,070 --> 00:10:47,490
favor. 3 Nils Danielle Daniela Galic, she played

155
00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:51,370
the full game for the losing side while Polly Doran played

156
00:10:51,870 --> 00:10:55,290
the full game for the victors. Now over to England

157
00:10:55,450 --> 00:10:59,090
where the WSL sides are ramping up

158
00:10:59,590 --> 00:11:03,490
their preseason as they work towards the season

159
00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:07,570
kickoff in September. And there was nothing like a little bit

160
00:11:08,070 --> 00:11:11,490
of a friendly North London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and

161
00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:15,210
Arsenal where Tottenham ran away for three winners in that one.

162
00:11:15,450 --> 00:11:19,230
Seth Catley and Kyra Cooney Cross started for Arsenal while

163
00:11:19,730 --> 00:11:23,390
Charlie Grant and Claire Hunt started for Tottenham. Caitlin Ford came off the bench

164
00:11:23,890 --> 00:11:27,790
and actually scored one of her side's three goals and was assisted by Steph

165
00:11:28,290 --> 00:11:32,030
Cutley in that one. Now over to Germany where Sian Fryer

166
00:11:32,530 --> 00:11:36,150
came off the bench in the 76th minute and managed to score the match

167
00:11:36,650 --> 00:11:40,230
winning goal in the 80th minute. Really proving

168
00:11:40,390 --> 00:11:43,710
an impact sub for her side Wolfsburg in

169
00:11:44,210 --> 00:11:47,850
their victory over Bayer Leverkusen in a preseason friendly. Of course the

170
00:11:47,930 --> 00:11:51,050
Women's Bundesliga isn't far away from starting either.

171
00:11:51,530 --> 00:11:55,490
Now in Italy they have started their season but in terms of

172
00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:59,970
cup competition and we saw two of our ladies, Jessica Nash and

173
00:12:00,470 --> 00:12:04,090
Jacinta Gala Battarace, both starting for Swallow as they

174
00:12:04,590 --> 00:12:07,290
knocked over AC Milan to nil there.

175
00:12:07,450 --> 00:12:11,010
It was Jacinta's debut for her new club of course as

176
00:12:11,510 --> 00:12:15,010
well. All right, that is it for the ladies. Now let's

177
00:12:15,510 --> 00:12:19,000
head over to the men and let's start in England where we will

178
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,040
kick off things in the championship where Cameron Burgess

179
00:12:23,540 --> 00:12:27,160
played a full game as Swansea drew one all with Watford in

180
00:12:27,660 --> 00:12:31,360
a great game there now Sam Silvera he

181
00:12:31,860 --> 00:12:35,920
played a full 90 minutes as Middlesbrough secured their third

182
00:12:36,420 --> 00:12:39,880
consecutive win with a 21 triumph over Norwich City

183
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,650
on Sunday. Tom Tom Glover was also on the

184
00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:47,530
bench while Riley McGree remains sidelined with injury.

185
00:12:47,930 --> 00:12:51,770
Callum Elder he got a full game for Derby county in a 10 draw

186
00:12:52,270 --> 00:12:55,930
with Bristol City. Massimo Luongo he got a full game for millwall

187
00:12:56,430 --> 00:12:59,690
in their 1 nil win over Sheffield United. And let's head

188
00:13:00,190 --> 00:13:03,530
to Little Australia. Portsmouth they had a one all draw with West

189
00:13:04,030 --> 00:13:07,690
Brom where Adrian Sega Chic, the star man at the moment played

190
00:13:08,190 --> 00:13:12,310
85 minutes but couldn't come up with a goal contribution in that one. Thomas Waddingham

191
00:13:12,810 --> 00:13:16,990
was a 57 57th minute substitute I should say whilst

192
00:13:17,490 --> 00:13:21,190
Hayden Matthews was on the bench but got no minutes and Jacob Farrell was

193
00:13:21,690 --> 00:13:25,350
not in the matchday squad unfortunately. Now another Aussie

194
00:13:25,850 --> 00:13:29,950
Derby. Rafael Borges Rodriguez came off the bench in on

195
00:13:30,030 --> 00:13:33,830
the 56th minute and assisted for Coventry City as

196
00:13:34,330 --> 00:13:37,550
they absolutely routed QPR 7 1.

197
00:13:37,710 --> 00:13:41,490
Keighley Adamson played 24 minutes for coming on as

198
00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:45,690
a substitute whilst Daniel Benny was left on the bench and didn't get

199
00:13:46,190 --> 00:13:49,410
any minutes whilst Jalen Pearman didn't make the

200
00:13:49,910 --> 00:13:53,330
matchday squad unfortunately. Now let's drop down a division

201
00:13:53,830 --> 00:13:57,570
to League one or the third tier of English football where Joe Gauche

202
00:13:58,070 --> 00:14:01,770
made his debut for Port Vale in their one nil loss to

203
00:14:02,270 --> 00:14:05,610
Doncaster Rovers. Geffen Jones he played

204
00:14:06,110 --> 00:14:09,450
a full game for MK Dons and delivered an assist in their one all draw

205
00:14:09,950 --> 00:14:13,190
with Crawley Town in midweek action and then backed it up

206
00:14:13,690 --> 00:14:16,990
with 58 minutes in a 21 win over Newport county on the

207
00:14:17,490 --> 00:14:21,510
weekend. Tyrese Francois he got a full game for Wigan Athletic

208
00:14:22,010 --> 00:14:24,390
as they drew two all with Rotherham United.

209
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:29,110
Now let's head north of the border over to Scotland where we saw Kasuna

210
00:14:29,610 --> 00:14:33,670
Yangi play the first half of Aberdeen in a two all draw

211
00:14:34,170 --> 00:14:37,350
with FCSB on Friday in the

212
00:14:37,850 --> 00:14:41,350
first leg of a Conference League qualifier. Nicholas Malilanovic

213
00:14:41,850 --> 00:14:45,410
also played 58 minutes there and the Scottish Premier League game

214
00:14:45,910 --> 00:14:49,770
was postponed on the weekend where it would have been another Aussie Derby

215
00:14:50,270 --> 00:14:54,170
where they play were due to play Dundee United I should say now

216
00:14:54,670 --> 00:14:58,890
Martin Boyle he played 18 minutes for Hibernian on Friday in

217
00:14:59,390 --> 00:15:02,770
a 21 loss to Legale Warsaw there in more

218
00:15:03,270 --> 00:15:06,490
Conference League qualification action. Now Harts vs.

219
00:15:06,990 --> 00:15:10,690
Motherwell was an Aussie derby. Bit of a theme going on as

220
00:15:11,190 --> 00:15:14,950
per usual with this podcast and that game ended three

221
00:15:15,450 --> 00:15:18,630
all. Quite an entertaining one for those who of you who caught that one.

222
00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:21,910
Cameron Devlin played the full game for Hearts while Apostolos d

223
00:15:22,870 --> 00:15:26,670
played at 69 minutes for Motherwell. Now Keanu

224
00:15:27,170 --> 00:15:29,590
Backus he's hit the ground running at St Mir and he played a full game

225
00:15:29,830 --> 00:15:32,990
as they managed to hold Rangers to a

226
00:15:33,490 --> 00:15:37,030
one all draw. So well done to Keanu there. That is quite

227
00:15:37,530 --> 00:15:41,470
a result for his s. Now Ryan McGowan he played a full game for

228
00:15:41,970 --> 00:15:46,010
Livingston in a 30 loss to Rangers as arch rivals Celtics

229
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,960
Tetiangi he got 25 minutes as a substitute in that game also

230
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,160
for Livingston. Now let's head to Sunny Climbs

231
00:15:55,660 --> 00:15:59,480
in the form of Croatia where Frank Karachic he played a full game

232
00:15:59,980 --> 00:16:03,680
for Hajic Split in a two nil win over NK Ostrich.

233
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,720
Anthony Cullick he got six minutes in that game. Off the bench.

234
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,370
Now to Germany where Connor Metcalfe came off the substitutes

235
00:16:13,870 --> 00:16:17,370
bench in the 77th minute as St Pauli began

236
00:16:17,870 --> 00:16:21,290
their Bundesliga season with a entertaining three all

237
00:16:21,790 --> 00:16:25,650
draw against Borussia Dortmund. Of course Jackson Irvine is still recovering

238
00:16:26,150 --> 00:16:28,930
from that foot injury that was picked up towards the back end of last season

239
00:16:29,430 --> 00:16:33,010
and was not in the squad. Now next

240
00:16:33,510 --> 00:16:36,970
door to Austria where Jed Drew played 78 minutes for

241
00:16:37,210 --> 00:16:40,930

assisted against Noah Bottic's FK Austria ve a

243
00:16:45,090 --> 00:16:48,990
31 win. Noah Botich came off the bench in the 60th minute

244
00:16:49,490 --> 00:16:53,190
for Austria V there in yet another Aussie derby.

245
00:16:54,070 --> 00:16:57,710
Now to Jacob Italiano who got a full game for Grazer

246
00:16:58,210 --> 00:17:01,750
AK in their 1 all draw with SCR Altouch there.

247
00:17:02,470 --> 00:17:06,150
Now to the Netherlands Max Ballard he played 89 minutes

248
00:17:06,650 --> 00:17:10,270
as NAC Brada lost to NEC Adend

00:17:10,770 --> 00:17:14,150
Rustic he came off came on sorry in the 61st

250
00:17:14,650 --> 00:17:18,270
minute of Heracles Alamello in their two

251
00:17:18,770 --> 00:17:22,390

00:17:27,530 --> 00:17:30,990
Topola on Saturday in a 2 nil lost to FK

254
00:17:31,470 --> 00:17:34,750
Vojvodina. Now to Denmark where

255
00:17:35,250 --> 00:17:39,470
Mohamed Toure of course the man we talked about earlier in the transfer rumor

256
00:17:39,970 --> 00:17:42,750
mill section. He he played a full game.

257
00:17:43,860 --> 00:17:47,420
Sorry came off the bench in the 68th minute for Randers while

258
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,180
Paul Izzo was in goal and it was unfortunately

259
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,500
a 1 nil loss for their side against FC Frederica.

260
00:17:57,060 --> 00:18:01,180
Now to Spain our mobile he played 84 minutes for CD

Castellon in a 1 nil lost to Rail Valo

262
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,300
Dolid CF over to Italy and our

263
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,230
good mate Alessandro Chercati he got a full game for

264
00:18:14,730 --> 00:18:18,550
Palmer in their two nil loss to Juventus to begin the

265
00:18:19,050 --> 00:18:22,590
Serie A season there. Now over to the US

266
00:18:23,090 --> 00:18:26,310
and A where Kairo played a full game for DC United in a one

267
00:18:26,810 --> 00:18:30,590
all draw with Inter Miami. So good effort from Kai there keeping the

268
00:18:31,090 --> 00:18:34,470
likes of Suarez and Messi to one goal.

269
00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:38,630
Now Patrick Yazbek he played 89 minutes for Nashville

270
00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:42,810
as they won 51 over Orlando City. They are

271
00:18:43,310 --> 00:18:47,170
now third in the Eastern Conference. So well done to Nashville. They are

272
00:18:47,250 --> 00:18:50,890
on a bit of a hot streak of late. Aiden o' Neill he played

273
00:18:51,390 --> 00:18:54,610
a full game for New York City FC in a one nil win over Brad

274
00:18:55,110 --> 00:18:58,890
Smith's FC Cincinnati. Brad managed to play the

275
00:18:59,390 --> 00:19:02,570
first half in that one so some increasing minutes for those

276
00:19:03,070 --> 00:19:07,410
who have been following Brad Smith minutes

277
00:19:07,890 --> 00:19:11,050
lately. Now Ariath Piol he got

278
00:19:11,450 --> 00:19:15,410
Speaking of players that got a half, Ariaf got one half of

279
00:19:15,910 --> 00:19:19,330
Rael Salt Lake's 31 loss to Minnesota United to

280
00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:23,610
round out MLS action for our Aussies. Now to Japan where we had

281
00:19:24,110 --> 00:19:27,650
yet another Aussie derby. Can you believe it? This time it was Thomas

282
00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:31,890
Deng. He played a full game for his side Yokohama F Marinos helping

283
00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:35,690
them keep a clean sheet against Mitchell Duke's

284
00:19:36,190 --> 00:19:40,090
Maida Zelvia. Duke also started and played 58

285
00:19:40,590 --> 00:19:44,030
minutes as Makaida secured a point and it

286
00:19:44,530 --> 00:19:48,150
keeps them in the title race. They actually just sit one point behind

287
00:19:48,470 --> 00:19:52,710
league leaders Kashima. So there you go. All right,

288
00:19:53,210 --> 00:19:56,550
well that is it for the weekly wrap. Next it is Players of the Week.

289
00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:08,230
All right, Players of the Week and our Woman of the

290
00:20:08,730 --> 00:20:13,210
Week is none other than Teo Muy Thai's Michalaert

291
00:20:13,710 --> 00:20:17,810
who managed a brace and an assist in the under 16 Matilda's

292
00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:21,810
victory over Singapore that we mentioned earlier in the show. It was a 3 nil

293
00:20:22,210 --> 00:20:25,450
win for the girls. She scored her first goal with a

294
00:20:25,950 --> 00:20:29,330
brilliant turn into the box, beating her marker

295
00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:33,330
and firing the ball into the far corner. She then

296
00:20:33,830 --> 00:20:37,730
provided an assist with a threaded through ball to Mikhaila Gavranovic

297
00:20:38,610 --> 00:20:42,610
who collected and slotted the ball home. She then

298
00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:46,470
rounded out the performance with an 82nd minute goal.

299
00:20:46,970 --> 00:20:50,110
So well done Tateo. Great performance and

300
00:20:50,190 --> 00:20:53,550
let's keep an eye on her career because she looks like she

301
00:20:54,050 --> 00:20:58,030
could be a bit of a world beater. All right now to our

302
00:20:58,110 --> 00:21:01,430
Men's Player of the Week and you probably noticed that I left

303
00:21:01,930 --> 00:21:05,750
him out of dimension when I talked about Cameron Burgess's Swansea

304
00:21:06,250 --> 00:21:09,510
drawing one all with Watford. Yes, you know it. It's our man

305
00:21:10,010 --> 00:21:13,110
Nestry Irancunda who scored his first goal for his new side,

306
00:21:13,610 --> 00:21:17,320
Watford. And boy was it some goal, let me tell you.

307
00:21:17,820 --> 00:21:21,840
He curled home a stunning 25 yard free kick in

308
00:21:22,340 --> 00:21:25,520
that one and it comes as a timely reminder to Tony

309
00:21:26,020 --> 00:21:30,000
Popovich of the mercurial forwards talents. Don't we just

310
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:33,640
agree with that? I have shared that one on our

311
00:21:34,140 --> 00:21:37,960
X page, so make sure you check that one out or get on YouTube and

312
00:21:38,460 --> 00:21:41,480

313
00:21:41,980 --> 00:21:45,360
