Join me and my dad, Ian, in this Goss episode on the Aussie English podcast as we chat about the awesome success of Australia’s women’s soccer team, the Matildas, at the Women’s World Cup.

We’re going to spill the beans on how these Matildas totally smashed expectations and became the talk of the town, all thanks to having the tournament in Australia and New Zealand.

We also dive into the mystery of why soccer isn’t as big as other sports in Australia. We reckon it’s because Aussies have heaps of other sports to choose from. Even though heaps of people play soccer at their local clubs, we notice that loads of super talented Aussie players end up playing in Europe, which might be why soccer isn’t the top dog here.

We also get real about some not-so-great stuff in soccer, like players wasting time and pulling sneaky tricks, and we’re not too pleased about it.

If you’re curious about the Matildas’ incredible journey and why soccer isn’t the biggest deal in Australia, give this chat a listen. We are hoping soccer keeps getting better, but yeah, nah, not sure it’ll ever beat out the other sports Aussies love. It’s a friendly, laid-back chat you won’t wanna miss!
