Transfers, Injuries, and U23 Asian Cup Updates for our Aussies Abroad

1
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,040
Hello and welcome to the Aussie Football Passport, your one stop pod for

2
00:00:28,540 --> 00:00:31,910
updates on your favourite Aussie men and women who are planning their club careers abroad.

3
00:00:32,460 --> 00:00:35,620
I'm your host Alex and there are plenty of stories to bring you

4
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,820
this week. Our under 23 men begin their Asian cup campaign. There's another

5
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:43,420
transfer in Sweden to bring you along with a couple of transfer rumours,

6
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,180
an unfortunate setback for a soccero hopeful with injury

7
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,780
and an update on who the Socceroo's opponents might be for the March FIFA

8
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,620
series. Let's get straight into it with the headlines.

9
00:01:00,290 --> 00:01:03,330
And let's begin with transfers.

10
00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:07,490
FC Rosengard announced the signing of Remy Seemson on Tuesday

11
00:01:07,810 --> 00:01:11,090
Australian time. There are no details as to how long

12
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:15,369
the contract is for unfortunately, but it will continue Remy's time

13
00:01:15,869 --> 00:01:19,410
in Sweden. She departs Christianstad after a consistent

14
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:23,410
season there and we wish her all the best. There are plenty of familiar faces

15
00:01:23,490 --> 00:01:26,870
that she will come up against in Sweden. Tom Glover has

16
00:01:27,370 --> 00:01:30,830
finally found a new home. Joining rb Omiya in

17
00:01:31,330 --> 00:01:35,150
J2 or the Japanese second division is a one year deal with an option

18
00:01:35,230 --> 00:01:38,710
for a one year extension. Well done Tom and it will be

19
00:01:39,210 --> 00:01:42,470
great to see him back on the pitch. Alex Bonatig has left

20
00:01:42,970 --> 00:01:46,510
the Western Sydney Wanderers to join the Portland Timbers in the mls.

21
00:01:46,590 --> 00:01:50,390
It's a two and a half year contract with an option for an additional

22
00:01:50,890 --> 00:01:54,470
year. Milos Dagenic has moved from Bakatappola in Serbia

23
00:01:54,970 --> 00:01:58,450
to Cyprus to join Apol Nicosia on a one and a half year

24
00:01:58,950 --> 00:02:02,890
contract. Nicosia are currently in fifth in the Cypriot league

25
00:02:03,050 --> 00:02:06,890
so no doubt Milos is contribution will be critical to

26
00:02:07,390 --> 00:02:11,210
them moving up the table now. Frank Karasic has left Hajic

27
00:02:11,710 --> 00:02:15,610
Split on loan to join fellow Croatian top flight club Ozyek FC

28
00:02:15,770 --> 00:02:19,330
for the rest of the season. Karasic has stated that he needed more game

29
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:22,810
time to push his case for a World cup spot with the Socceroos.

30
00:02:22,970 --> 00:02:26,220
Ozyk can make the move permanent as well at the

31
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,340
end of the season if they wish to do so via a transfer fee.

32
00:02:30,580 --> 00:02:34,620
Now let's get into the rumor mill where Nicholas d' Agostino appears

33
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,540
to be looking to return to the A League to press his case for a

34
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,660
World cup spot. The two clubs leading the race for his signature are Central

35
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,940
Coast Mariners, although this looks unlikely now that the APL has taken control

36
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,220
of them, and the Brisbane Raw. Of course we'll keep you updated in upcoming episodes

37
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,240
as to where Nicholas d' Agostino lands. Alex Robertson was named

38
00:02:54,740 --> 00:02:58,440
in a leaked video of Oxford United's transfer targets last week.

39
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,600
Robertson has played in a championship previously and would no doubt want

40
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:06,400
to step up if the opportunity came his way. He is one of a plethora

41
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:10,600
of midfield options that Tony Popovich will be keeping a close eye on over

42
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:14,920
the coming months and maybe a championship move for Alex Robertson will put

43
00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:19,240
him right in the frame. It'll also make scouting a lot easier for Tony

44
00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:23,300
Popovic considering the amount of Aussies in the championship. Now rounding out

45
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,260
the rumour mill, Kusuni Yengi is in the sights of up to five clubs as

46
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,420
he looks to move away from Aberdeen after an unhappy spell with limited

47
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,860
game time. Stockport and Stevenage, who are battling out for promotion

48
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,900
places in Ligue 1 along with Wigan, Blackpool and relegation threatened

49
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,820
Rotherham United are all interested in securing the striker's services.

50
00:03:45,220 --> 00:03:48,700
Now to other news headlines and Curacao and China look

51
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,140
to be headed down under to play the Socceroos as part of the FIFA series

52
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,080
in March. If recent reports are to believes, this will be interesting for

53
00:03:56,580 --> 00:04:00,480
socceros where there is a known opponent in China and an unknown in Curacao

54
00:04:00,980 --> 00:04:04,800
once is confirmed. I will bring it to you in the next episode.

55
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,040
Now to Asian cup action for our under 23s

56
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,560
that got underway last week. In fact, there was two games

57
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,080
since our last episode, so let's take a look at them.

58
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,480
Two goals in two minutes helped the lads overturn an early setback

59
00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:22,640
and open their campaign with a 21 victory over Thailand.

60
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,980
Thailand stunned Australia inside eight minutes when Sombat Unla

61
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,020
scored from the edge of the penalty area following a corner, his effort taking

62
00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:34,660
a significant deflection on its way past goalkeeper Stephen

63
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,580
Hall. Thailand midfielder Pong Sakhon Jensen was

64
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,180
shown a red card in the 12th minute following a Var review

65
00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:46,220
for a dangerous challenge on Jordi Valadon.

66
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,100
Var then returned in the 37th minute after Yaya To Cooley

67
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,870
surged towards the penalty area and was brought down by Sinkrakov. Var checked

68
00:04:55,370 --> 00:04:58,550
and confirmed a foul occurred inside the box with captain Ethan

69
00:04:59,050 --> 00:05:02,710
Allagic scoring a penalty to level the scores. Just one minute later the

70
00:05:03,210 --> 00:05:07,070
lads completed a stunning turnaround. Matthias McAllister collected the ball near

71
00:05:07,570 --> 00:05:10,710
the left edge of the area, shrugged off a couple of defenders and curled

72
00:05:11,210 --> 00:05:14,830
a magnificent right footed strike into the far corner to make it two one,

73
00:05:15,330 --> 00:05:18,630
which was the final score and have shared that goal on

74
00:05:19,130 --> 00:05:22,870
our social media, particularly our X page or Twitter page,

75
00:05:23,370 --> 00:05:26,490
so make sure you go and check that one out because it's an absolute beauty

76
00:05:26,650 --> 00:05:30,250
now. The campaign took a hit in the next game as our lads

77
00:05:30,750 --> 00:05:34,010
went down 1 nil to China. Tony Vidmar made three changes

78
00:05:34,510 --> 00:05:38,050
from the opening game against Thailand with Manchester United, James Overy

79
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:42,210
and Perth Glory duo Nathaniel Blair and Kalyan Maguk

80
00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:46,610
Dunmi making their first starts of the tournament. A free kick from

81
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:50,490
Wang Yudong floated into the box was initially

82
00:05:50,990 --> 00:05:54,890
cleared, but only towards a penalty spot where Peng Xiao thrashed a ferocious

83
00:05:55,390 --> 00:05:59,350
volley that goalkeeper Stephen hall could do nothing about. It was China's

84
00:05:59,850 --> 00:06:03,110
first shot on target and ended up being the decisive blow.

85
00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:07,230
However, the lads thought they had snatched a draw deep into additional

86
00:06:07,730 --> 00:06:11,190
time when Giuseppe Bovalina bundled the ball over the line at the back post.

87
00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:15,390
But Var, who came to the rescue of the Socceroos or the under 23s

88
00:06:15,890 --> 00:06:19,110
I should say in the first game was to deny the lads in this one,

89
00:06:19,610 --> 00:06:23,000
where it had showed that Bovolina's hand touched a ball and the

90
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:26,440
goal was disallowed. However, in some good news,

91
00:06:26,940 --> 00:06:30,280
Iraq's 10 draw with Thailand leaves the group wide open with

92
00:06:30,780 --> 00:06:34,440
China on top with four points, Australia in second with three points, Iraq in

93
00:06:34,940 --> 00:06:38,160
third with two points and Thailand last with one point.

94
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,000
Our lads will play Iraq in the final group game on Wednesday night

95
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:45,360
at 10:30 Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

96
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,060
That one you can watch on Paramount. Plus draw

97
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,020
is all that's required to progress to the knockout stages for our lads

98
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,060
and we wish them all the best. Now to injury news to round

99
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,820
out the headlines. And as mentioned at the top of the show, there's some unfortunate

100
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,380
news for a soccer who's hopeful, with Leicester City boss Marty Cifuentes

101
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:10,460
revealing that Harry Soutar has suffered a setback in his recovery

102
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,740
from that Achilles tendon injury he suffered. He was quoted saying that Harry

103
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,640
requires small surgery to fix a small injury. Marty did

104
00:07:19,140 --> 00:07:21,080
note that Harry should be back on the pitch in a couple of weeks time

105
00:07:21,580 --> 00:07:25,120
and hopes it is not a big injury. So we wish Harry

106
00:07:25,620 --> 00:07:29,280
all the best and hopefully it's only a minor setback in his

107
00:07:29,780 --> 00:07:32,600
comeback from that Achilles tendon injury.

108
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,320
Now speaking of centre backs, Hayden Matthews has been ruled out

109
00:07:36,820 --> 00:07:40,200
for eight to 10 weeks after picking up an ankle injury playing for his side

110
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:44,520
at Portsmouth late last year. It's devastating news for the young defender who looked

111
00:07:45,020 --> 00:07:48,750
like he'd won a spot in the starting side for Portsmouth, but that has been

112
00:07:49,250 --> 00:07:52,310
well and truly scratched out for the next couple of months.

113
00:07:52,470 --> 00:07:55,790
This has also effectively ruled him out of selection for

114
00:07:56,290 --> 00:07:59,910
the March international window where he would have hoped to impress Tony Popovic,

115
00:08:00,410 --> 00:08:03,990
although it's pretty fair to say Popper has already been impressed, including him

116
00:08:04,490 --> 00:08:07,750
in a couple of squads already. All right, that's the headlines this week.

117
00:08:08,250 --> 00:08:10,230
We'll move on to the Weekly Wrap in just a second.

118
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,880
Weekly Wrap time and let's head to England where

119
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,720
the WSL resumed action after the winter break

120
00:08:27,220 --> 00:08:30,400
and Arsenal played out a nil or draw with Manchester United.

121
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,600
Steph Cutley started and played 88 minutes for Arsenal whilst her teammate

122
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:38,400
Caitlin ford was a second half substitute playing 28 minutes.

123
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:42,480
Kyra Cooney Cross was unavailable as she has taken personal leave

124
00:08:42,980 --> 00:08:46,610
to be with her family as her mum has been diagnosed with stage four

125
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:51,010
cancer. Arsenal put on a touching tribute to Kyra and her mum before kickoff.

126
00:08:51,510 --> 00:08:55,170
Our thoughts are with her and her family during this difficult moment.

127
00:08:55,490 --> 00:08:59,130
Tottenham Hotspur defeated Leicester City 1 nil.

128
00:08:59,630 --> 00:09:03,650
Emily Van Egbon started up top for Leicester playing 73 minutes in her

129
00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:07,370
new role. Charlie Grant remains unavailable for spurs with

130
00:09:07,870 --> 00:09:11,770
that knee injury. Claire Wheeler started and played 74 minutes in midfield

131
00:09:12,270 --> 00:09:15,690
for Everton as they went down Sunil to Manchester City. Mary Fowler

132
00:09:16,190 --> 00:09:19,830
continues to work her way back from injury for Manchester City. Chelsea defeated West

133
00:09:20,330 --> 00:09:24,030
Ham 5 nil in a game which involved not one, not two,

134
00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:27,950
but three Australians. Ellie Carpenter started and played the full game for

135
00:09:28,450 --> 00:09:32,350
Chelsea also. Teammate Sam Kerr was a second half substitute playing half

136
00:09:32,850 --> 00:09:37,510
an hour. Katrina Gorey played the first half for West Ham before being substituted

137
00:09:38,010 --> 00:09:41,190
off. Hopefully not a sign of things to come. If the new coach there at

138
00:09:41,690 --> 00:09:45,100
West Ham. It would be pretty sad to see Katrina fall out of favor with

139
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,020
her. Charlie's Rules started and played 76 minutes for Brighton at

140
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,220
right back in their 21 loss to Aston Villa. That is

141
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,140
it for our ladies. A short, sharp and sweet segment within

142
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,900
a segment. Mini segment, sub segment. I'm not quite sure of

143
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,820
the terminology there, but yes, we'll move on to the men where it was FA

144
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,660
cup third round action on the weekend and our lads enjoyed

145
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,460
some great individual performances despite their teams being less

146
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,200
successful in England and Wales. Let's kick it off with Middlesbr where Sam Silvera

147
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:21,200
played a full game and assisted the opening goal as they went down 31

148
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,640
to Fulham. Nestor Erin Kunda played a full game

149
00:10:25,140 --> 00:10:29,040
for watford in a 51 thrashing to Bristol

150
00:10:29,540 --> 00:10:33,360
City. He provided a bright spark and an assist for Watford's only goal in

151
00:10:33,860 --> 00:10:37,640
that loss. Karen Burgess came on in the 64th minute for Swansea

152
00:10:38,140 --> 00:10:41,920
City in a 65 penalty loss to West Bromwich Albion

153
00:10:42,140 --> 00:10:45,660
after the match finished two all. Burgess scored in the shootout but it

154
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,980
was not enough to progress. Adrian Sega played 73 minutes

155
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,140
for Portsmouth as they lost 41 to Premier League leaders Arsenal.

156
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,740
Jacob Farrell was an unused substitute for Portsmouth.

157
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,100
Lewis Miller played a full game for Blackburn Rovers and captained his side as

158
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,900
they lost 4, 3 on penalties after a nil or draw with Hull city.

159
00:11:06,060 --> 00:11:09,300
There were two rare substitute appearances for a couple of Aussies at

160
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,240
QPR. Daniel Benny got 38 minutes off the bench whilst

161
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:17,160
Keighley Adamson got 21 minutes off the bench as their side went down

162
00:11:17,660 --> 00:11:20,720
21 to West Ham. Joe Gauche was in goal for

163
00:11:21,220 --> 00:11:24,560
Port Vale in a one nil win over Fleetwood Town and he

164
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:28,720
helped with that clean sheet. The changing manager at Port Vale with fellow Aussie John

165
00:11:29,220 --> 00:11:32,520
Brady taking over may have helped Joe when he spot back between the sticks.

166
00:11:33,020 --> 00:11:36,720
Let's hope so, although it is looking more and more unlikely that

167
00:11:37,220 --> 00:11:40,360
he has fallen out of favour at national team level.

168
00:11:40,670 --> 00:11:44,230
Rafael Borges Rodriguez played a full game for Wigan athletic in

169
00:11:44,730 --> 00:11:48,030
a 10 win over Preston North End. Tyrese Francois

170
00:11:48,530 --> 00:11:51,990
was an unused substitute in that one. Now rounding out the action we're going

171
00:11:52,490 --> 00:11:56,230
to Ligue 1 where Alex Robertson played 86 minutes for Cardiff

172
00:11:56,730 --> 00:11:59,310
City in their one all draw with Leighton Orient FC.

173
00:11:59,550 --> 00:12:03,230
Now let's head north of the border to Scotland where Nicholas Milanovic

174
00:12:03,730 --> 00:12:07,510
got a rare start and played 68 minutes for Aberdeen in a two nil

175
00:12:08,010 --> 00:12:11,270
loss to Rangers. Nick Suman was an unused substitute and Kissuni

176
00:12:11,770 --> 00:12:15,030
Yengi was not in the matchday squad of course noting that it looks like he

177
00:12:15,530 --> 00:12:18,950
is on his way out there at Aberdeen. Jack Idaho played a full game

178
00:12:19,450 --> 00:12:22,710
for Hibbs whilst in opposition. Johnny Kadrumba started and played at

179
00:12:23,210 --> 00:12:26,830
74 minutes, Oscar Priestman started and played 72 minutes and Apostolis

180
00:12:27,330 --> 00:12:30,830
D' Artalopoulos was an unused substitute for Motherwell in their 10 draw

181
00:12:31,330 --> 00:12:34,990
with Hibbs. An interesting absentee was Martin Boyle from that Hib

182
00:12:35,490 --> 00:12:39,320
side. There's no official news as to what is up with Martin

183
00:12:39,820 --> 00:12:43,080
Boyle over its sickness or there is some sort of injury, but we will keep

184
00:12:43,580 --> 00:12:47,000
you updated if there is any news that comes to hand between now

185
00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:50,920
and next week's episode. Cameron Devlin played a full game for hart

186
00:12:51,420 --> 00:12:55,520
in their 10 win over Dundee. Speaking of Dundee, their crosstown rivals

187
00:12:56,020 --> 00:12:59,920
Dundee United Zach Saps had started and played 78 minutes for them whilst

188
00:13:00,420 --> 00:13:03,680
Ryan Strang came off the bench in the 60th minute as they suffered

189
00:13:04,180 --> 00:13:07,700
a heavy four nil loss to Celtic who have recalled

190
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,260
their interim manager Martin o' Neill after the disaster.

191
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,100
That was Wilfrid Nanti who of course actually

192
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,700
beat Ange Postecoglou's record for the least amount of

193
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,820
days in charge at a club this season. There's a little fun fact for you

194
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,660
now rounding out this action In Scotland, Ryan McGowan played a

195
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,820
full game whilst teammate Teti Yangi started and played 79 minutes

196
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,080
for Livingston in their one all draw with Kilmarnock. Now let's head to Italy

197
00:13:35,580 --> 00:13:39,240
where Alessandro Cicati played all of Parma's two nil loss to

198
00:13:39,740 --> 00:13:43,520
Inter Milan in midweek Serie auction. He then backed it up playing all of

199
00:13:44,020 --> 00:13:47,320
Parma's two one win over Lecce at the weekend which helped

200
00:13:47,820 --> 00:13:51,760
his side move into 14th position. Now let's head to Spain

201
00:13:52,260 --> 00:13:55,560
where Matty Ryan was in goal for Levante playing the whole game in their one

202
00:13:56,060 --> 00:13:59,600
all draw with fifth placed Espanol which could be a crucial point

203
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,180
come later this season as Levante look

204
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:06,860
to battle their way out of the relegation spots.

205
00:14:06,940 --> 00:14:10,580
Almabile played 77 minutes for Castellan in

206
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,700
a nil or draw with Granada in the Spanish second division.

207
00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:18,620
Now rounding out the men's action, another short and sweet

208
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:22,900
weekly wrap by the looks of things. Arundhustic played a full game for

209
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,980
Heracles Alamello in a two nil loss to Sparta Rotterdam.

210
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,620
Heracles return to the relegation places as a result

211
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,580
of this, but it must be noted that is only on goal difference and a

212
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,280
win win. Next week we'll see them extract themselves from those relegation places.

213
00:14:39,780 --> 00:14:43,480
Max Ballard played a full game for NAC Breda as they drew

214
00:14:43,980 --> 00:14:47,800
Nilore with FC Groningen. All right, that is it for the weekly

215
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:50,760
wrap. Next up is Players of the Week.

216
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,080
All right, players of the week.

217
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,400
Time. And let's start with our Women's Player of

218
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:09,440
the Week where it was fair to say that it was slim pickings.

219
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,160
There were no goals or assists. So I've had to look at the other end

220
00:15:13,660 --> 00:15:17,480
of the pitch, the one that gets, I guess forgotten quite a lot that considering

221
00:15:17,980 --> 00:15:21,760
defenders and goalkeepers are quite crucial in winning titles.

222
00:15:22,260 --> 00:15:26,280
As I say, defenses win them. So let's put the spotlight

223
00:15:26,780 --> 00:15:30,430
on a particular defender. Her name is Claire Hunt.

224
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:34,830
She played the full game helping Tottenham keep that clean sheet in

225
00:15:34,910 --> 00:15:38,790
their victory over Leicester City. And she also of

226
00:15:39,290 --> 00:15:42,550
course helped massively in keeping her fellow Matilda's teammate

227
00:15:43,050 --> 00:15:46,670
Emily Van Egmond away from goal there. Probably fair to say that she

228
00:15:47,170 --> 00:15:50,870
knows. She knew what sort of moves Emily would be capable of pulling

229
00:15:51,370 --> 00:15:54,470
off there and was able to warn her teammates as a

230
00:15:54,970 --> 00:15:58,470
result. So well done, Claire, and good to have a defender as a player of

231
00:15:58,970 --> 00:16:02,910
the week for once. It's a rare occurrence. I must admit I've fallen into that

232
00:16:03,410 --> 00:16:06,790
trap where we focus only on attackers. All right. Now,

233
00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:10,670
speaking of defenders, Our Men's Player of the Week is a defender as

234
00:16:11,170 --> 00:16:14,510
well and it's One of the stars of this current socceroo squad is

235
00:16:15,010 --> 00:16:18,470
Jordan Boss. He played a full game and provided an assist for feyenoord

236
00:16:18,970 --> 00:16:22,590
in their two all draw with SC Herenveen. It is the 23 year

237
00:16:23,090 --> 00:16:26,470
old's fifth goal involvement of the season as Feyenoord sit

238
00:16:26,970 --> 00:16:30,250
13 points behind league leaders PSV. The crucial

239
00:16:30,750 --> 00:16:33,890
thing with Jordan Boss will be keeping him fit. Of course, we've just seen him

240
00:16:34,390 --> 00:16:37,890
return from another injury. Those hamstrings are a bit of

241
00:16:38,390 --> 00:16:41,650
a worry, much like Riley McGree's. So let's hope that

242
00:16:42,150 --> 00:16:45,769
the Feyenoord medical staff look after him and we

243
00:16:46,269 --> 00:16:49,330
see Robin Van Persie, his coach, use him in the right

244
00:16:49,830 --> 00:16:53,970
moments, protecting him for a World cup spot across everything

245
00:16:54,050 --> 00:16:57,570
folks, because Jordan Boss I think is going to be crucial for

246
00:16:58,070 --> 00:17:01,510
our World cup squad. Anyway, that is enough rambling for me because that is another

247
00:17:02,010 --> 00:17:05,550
week for the Aussie football passport and I hope you've enjoyed

248
00:17:06,050 --> 00:17:09,670
this episode. It's been another big week of news transfers, injuries and results

249
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:12,950
for our Aussies abroad. If you can share the

250
00:17:13,450 --> 00:17:17,350
show and it'll help the podcast reach new audiences and it'll

251
00:17:17,850 --> 00:17:20,950
help this thing take off because it is a World cup here. It is an

252
00:17:21,450 --> 00:17:24,849
Asian cup year for our ladies and it is going to be full of

253
00:17:25,349 --> 00:17:28,609
footballing news to bring you and I can't wait to do it. Thanks for listening

254
00:17:29,109 --> 00:17:31,129
and I'll catch you in the next episode. Goodbye for now.
