  • A League / Socceroos

    They turn these episodes out quickly. Very broad coverage of the A League and Australian football in general with a wide range of opinions. Well researched, and fun. It’s great to have some fresh voices in the Australian Football media.

  • Best A League Podcast.

    For me, this is the best A League podcast. They strike a good balance between the serious and the humorous. All with enough tactical analysis and opinion.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Blockbuster Aus Cup Final is here & Preparing for the A-League w/ Al-Hassan Toure
Q: Al Hassan, how has the preseason been going for Sydney FC and what stood out for you.
The team has been working hard since day one, getting bodies right, building fitness for 90 minutes of pressure, and improving together as a unit, with emphasis on adaptability and readiness for the first game of the season.
Gianni Infantino wants to sell the World Cup...
Q: What was your first reaction when you saw this news break?
We were shocked by the audacity and speed of the proposal, recognizing that it would reshape who controls football's commercial rights and could undermine the sport's purity, while also noting the political and financial leverage at play among major confederations.
Socceroos v USA Preview: The Big One
Q: But otherwise, I feel like it's going to be the same 11 that we saw in the first game that starts against Australia. Do you think Polisic truly isn't healthy?
The guest discusses potential lineup stability and the possibility of Polisic being managed if not fully healthy, but generally anticipates the core squad remaining intact with minor tweaks.
Socceroos v USA Preview: The Big One
Q: I wanted to ask you, how confident are you that you know the starting 11 for Australia in this game?
The host explains predicting Tony Popovich's lineup is difficult, given frequent changes he makes, but suggests likely changes like Jackson Irvine returning and Nestor Irenkinda coming off the bench, while noting goalkeeper and back five stability.
How The AFC Could Redesign Asian Football & The Christmas Swing In The A-League
Q: In terms of World Cup qualifying spots, will this impact that at all?
It is suggested not to give extra chances to teams finishing last in their qualification group, but rather to focus on a fairer and more competitive qualification process.
