There’s #VolpatoWatch, #IrankundaWatch and reflections on his past four years as he prepares to set the record for most games in charge of Australia with 59 games – breaking Frank Farina’s record -- and reflections on that Japan defeat in Sydney, arguably the lowest point across his tenure.

]]> 1503 TNC gets sacked two weeks into the season | November 3, 2023 One normal day of Isuzu Ute A-Liga Hombres. All I ask. Will never happen. After a bonkers week of Aussie sokkah, Joey Lynch is joined by Jason Pine, the voice of New Zealand football on Sky Sport NZ and the host of Weekend Sport on Newstalk ZB, to try to make sense of it all. Rado Vidosic is out at Melbourne City after just two games, the last of which was a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Adelaide. Why did it happen? What does it mean? And will new interim coach Aurelio Vidmar be any good? There's also the Auckland expansion franchise and talk of Chris Greenacre being tapped as its next coach, is that a good move? And how's that endeavour placed anyway? Australia's World Cup bid certainly isn't placed well, with the 2034 men's World Cup now set for Saudi Arabia after a bespoke bidding process by FIFA. Then there's the games. Adelaide United are looking the goods, as is Melbourne Victory -- but City, Sydney and the Mariners aren't. Of those three, who are most likely to right the ship? Are the Wanderers the team to beat? And is Wellington... well... are they good or not? Then, the great man, Ben Smith of the West Australian, jumps into the show to provide his on-the-ground view of the Matildas' Olympic qualifying campaign. Is Tony G good now? Thanks and Success.

Bit happening. Joey Lynch is joined by ESPN contributor and all-around superstar Stephanie Brantz and Fagiano Okayama midfielder and one-haff of the Football Friends with Ben & Stef podcast Stefan Mauk to look at yet another big week in Aussie Sokkah. With the A-Liga back, what's the vibe and how can the leagues kick on? With Townsend off to the Middle East, what's his legacy and what does it say about the nature of the leagues as an entity? Are the Jets finally on the verge of ownership? Are the reports surrounding Silver Lake's involvement in the A-Leagues a reason to be concerned? And what about that leak of supposed second division details -- what does that tell us? And as usual, there's a very in-depth look at all 12 games across the A-League Men (39:20) and A-League Women (01:14:45) competitions. Victory makes a Big Blue statement, Adelaide is giving the keys to the kids, Noah Botic is demanding to step up, Sydney's women are still in transition, Western United's women are back on their late comebacks, 14-year-olds (14!!!) are playing in the Dub, and much more!

]]> 1043 The Best Arse in A-League History | October 30 2022 A month of the A-Liga Hombre's season is in the books, the World Cup is drawing ever closer, transfer rumours are heating up, and the Socceroos are making worldwide headlines. A perfect time for a TNC pod with Joey, Josh, Stoll, D'Urbano, and the triumphant return of Yung Boi (who in the TNC tradition, arrives late). First, the boys look at the game of the round: Central Coast's rollicking come-from-behind, 4-2 win over Western United (04:25). Has Jason Cummings punched his ticket to Qatar? Has Garang Kuol? What's going wrong with the still winless defending champions? There's all the controversy that came out of Sydney's 3-2 win over Macarthur (24:17), what to make of the Sky Blue's bona fides this season and if this game matters (do Sydney want it to matter?). Phoenix roared back to force a 2-2 draw with Melbourne City (49:58) and the latest edition of A-Leagues All Access with Patrick Kisnorbo. Adelaide recorded a 2-1 win over Perth Glory (01:11:18), is Craig Goodwin a lock for the World Cup? In Redcliffe, Melbourne Victory again failed to net as they drew 0-0 with Brisbane Roar (1:23:28). It's now been 277 minutes - or roughly one TNC episode - since the Vuck found the net. Is it time to panic? What's going wrong? And is Bruno Fornaroli the answer to what ails the misfiring heavyweights? Most importantly, though, does Bruno Fornaroli have the best arse in A-League history? But as one heavyweight sputters, another is on the upswing in Sydney's west, after Western Sydney Wanderers went equal top of the league with a 2-0 win over Newcastle (1:44:10). Is Calem Nieuwenhof an actual bigger Sydney to WSW coup than Milos Ninkovic? Can the Wanderers ride their stout defence to a title? And are the Jets no longer box office? Then, on a more serious note, the boys discuss the Socceroos becoming the first team that has qualified for the World Cup to collectively raise their voices surrounding human rights in Qatar and advocate for change (1:55:50).

]]> 8569 yes TNC leaves a comment on Perth Glory's Instagram | 23 October, 2022 One regular week of A-Liga. That's all I ask for. Will never happen.  Joey, Stoll, and D’Urbano are back to break down every single game of week three of the A-Liga Men’s season - as well as the biggest and confounding news happening off it.  First, Western United and Macarthur FC’s 1-1 draw and what to do about the former’s sparse crowds (hint, it’s not just on Western) (05:41), the Box Office Jets doing two-from-two after a win over Phillip Rollo’s Wellington Phoenix (32:11), Western Sydney Wanderers and Brisbane Roar’s draw, the A-Leagues’ All Access series and the closure of Roar’s academy (39:20), and Melbourne Victory’s 15-minute implosion against Melbourne City, City’s premiership bona fides and idiots breaking chairs (59:51). There’s a breakdown of Sydney and Adelaide’s 2-2 draw as well as the furore surrounding Hiroshi Ibusuki’s red card (01:19:05) and attempt to figure out exactly what the hell is going on at Perth Glory after Bruno Fornaroli’s Instagram denial of an injury-enforced absence overshadowed their 2-1 win over Central Coast (01:35:44).   Teo then jumps aboard to help break down the Women’s World Cup draw. Are the USWNT now presumptive favourites to three-peat after a favourable draw (1:44:47)? Should the Matildas expect to top a group with Canada, Ireland, and Nigeria in it? Do they have to top the group to hold out any hope of a deep run – given that England likely awaits the second-placed finisher in the Round of 16?  Then, nonsense breaks out.

Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Sun, 23 Oct 2022 23:40:19 -0000 TNC leaves a comment on Perth Glory's Instagram | 23 October, 2022 full ESPN AU/NZ Joey, Stoll, D'Urbano and Teo break down all the action and controversies of week three of the A-League Men season, the Women's World Cup draw, and much more One regular week of A-Liga. That's all I ask for. Will never happen.  Joey, Stoll, and D’Urbano are back to break down every single game of week three of the A-Liga Men’s season - as well as the biggest and confounding news happening off it.  First, Western United and Macarthur FC’s 1-1 draw and what to do about the former’s sparse crowds (hint, it’s not just on Western) (05:41), the Box Office Jets doing two-from-two after a win over Phillip Rollo’s Wellington Phoenix (32:11), Western Sydney Wanderers and Brisbane Roar’s draw, the A-Leagues’ All Access series and the closure of Roar’s academy (39:20), and Melbourne Victory’s 15-minute implosion against Melbourne City, City’s premiership bona fides and idiots breaking chairs (59:51). There’s a breakdown of Sydney and Adelaide’s 2-2 draw as well as the furore surrounding Hiroshi Ibusuki’s red card (01:19:05) and attempt to figure out exactly what the hell is going on at Perth Glory after Bruno Fornaroli’s Instagram denial of an injury-enforced absence overshadowed their 2-1 win over Central Coast (01:35:44).   Teo then jumps aboard to help break down the Women’s World Cup draw. Are the USWNT now presumptive favourites to three-peat after a favourable draw (1:44:47)? Should the Matildas expect to top a group with Canada, Ireland, and Nigeria in it? Do they have to top the group to hold out any hope of a deep run – given that England likely awaits the second-placed finisher in the Round of 16?  Then, nonsense breaks out. Of course.  TNC & ESPN Australia on Social Media: ► Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TNCFootball ► Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ESPNAusNZ​ ► Like on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ESPNAusNZ​ ► Join the TNC A-Leagues Fantasy League: https://play.keepup.com.au/a-league-men/fantasy/?action=join-group&code=102854 Learn more about your ad choices.
