Speaker 1: The CITSI and with with Kate Richie podcast running.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: Right, we shall be so proud of the Matilda's.

3
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 3: It is the best Australia has ever finished out of

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 3: World Cup male or female, and we know that it's

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 3: changed the face of the sport and women's sport in

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 3: this country forever.

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, the country has embraced the Matildas and what a

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: campaign they had. I know they were concentrating throughout the

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: whole World Cup, but today we've been lucky enough to

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: secure one of our superstars in the midfield, Emily van Egman.

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: Welcome, inn am I.

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 4: How are you Emily? First we take our hat off.

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 4: You are a superstar. Congratulations on everything yourself and the

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 4: team have achieved in this World Cup.

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for that.

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: What were the expectations going in m did you talk?

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean, were you just wanting to get through the

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: pool stages or were you were talking finals or was

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: there an expectation that you wanted to get to a

20
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: semi Yeah?

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 5: I think for us as a team, we always well

22
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 5: first and foremost going into this tournament like this, you

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 5: always believe you have every answer to win the tournament,

24
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 5: So that was obviously the first objective for the second

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 5: objective for us was you know, we kind of really

26
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 5: honed in on just both in it one game at

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 5: a time and obviously with the group stages, I thought

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 5: we did that really well. You know, we had the

29
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 5: first win against Ireland which was two or sixth and

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 5: kick us off. Of course you didn't get up against Nigeria,

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 5: but you know, started to kind of find a little

32
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 5: bit of momentum going into that Canada game. I think

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 5: that was that was kind of really where it all

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 5: kicked off for us. And yeah, we just we just

35
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 5: really had that mentality going throughout the rest of the

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 5: monument and yeah, obviously it was incredible and it's just

37
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 5: you know, fantastic to see Yes capture the name.

38
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: It's been amazing.

39
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: And I know we've noticed, of course, we've had to

40
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: speak to family members of you guys during the campaign

41
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: and through you know, in amongst all of the games,

42
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 3: because you guys have been focused on what you're doing

43
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: on the field. Did you feel the support though, even

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: though you weren't talking to all of us every day,

45
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: Did you feel as though the nation was behind you?

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 5: Yeah? Absolutely, you know it was one of the things

47
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 5: you know, we started to really notice as a team,

48
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 5: and it's just it's just incredible for us, and you

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 5: know we we love every single minute of it, honestly,

50
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 5: and we can't thank them enough, you know, for them,

51
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 5: We probably wouldn't have got as far without them, So.

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: It was an awesome Can I just ask a quick

53
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 3: question about the feeling that we've all had. I think

54
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: that when you talk to people now, it's everyone's just

55
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: a little bit not disappointed at the result, but disappointed

56
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: that it's over.

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: That it's been such a.

58
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: Great feeling all across the country, you know, people have

59
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 3: It's kind of ignited something in all of us that

60
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: I don't think has been around for a long time.

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: And I guess we're wondering what do we do next

62
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: to kind of hang on to it, continue to follow

63
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: women's sport, and you guys really like so like, I

64
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: don't even know what I'm asking. How can we keep

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: seeing you because I guess you're all heading off, Yeah,

66
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 3: you're all heading off to your own you know, the

67
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: other the other teams that you usually play for now,

68
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 3: But how can we continue to stay involved and support

69
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: you guys?

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 5: Well, hopefully this is just a start, and you know,

71
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: like you said, I think it's just been amazing the support,

72
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: and you know, I don't if you would have asked

73
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 5: us to for the tournament if we thought we would

74
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 5: have had the reach of Diet, I don't think anyone

75
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 5: would have said yeah. So it's just been it's a

76
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 5: little bit, you know, surreal, But at the end of

77
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 5: the day, I think, you know, hopefully it's just a

78
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 5: start and you know, the you know, the federations and

79
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 5: everyone kind of gets together in the country and we

80
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 5: just start to invest and hopefully we see the potential

81
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 5: from here.

82
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: Can I just hold Kate up there, Emily, And unfortunately

83
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: she's trying to flip this back to herself because Emily,

84
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: she's I know, she's talking about how can we keep

85
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: following you? But Kate really wanted to say, how do

86
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: the Matildas keep following me? Now what I was saying, Emily.

87
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if the girls have been talking about this,

88
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: but Alana Kennedy has followed Kate on Instagram and it

89
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: has made her world like you wouldn't believe it. We

90
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: interviewed Alana's mum, Stephanie while during the campaign she was

91
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: magnificent found out that they both grew up in Campbelltown.

92
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: Now Kate is on the quest to get every Matilda

93
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: to follow her on Instagram. Emily, has Alana spoken about this?

94
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: Is there anything going on that you know about? Oh?

95
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 5: Alana hasn't said anything, to be honest with you, But

96
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 5: I know that.

97
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: Emily, that is not the answer I was wanting.

98
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 4: Emily. Kate was exceptionally excited that. I think Alana called

99
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: her babe in the ment message, which was flattering. Can

100
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: I ask him how many followers did you have at

101
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 4: the start of the World Cup and how many do

102
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 4: you have now?

103
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm probably the worst in the team on

104
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 5: social media, honestly, but I've definitely gained a massive amount

105
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 5: of following since I started, that for sure. But it's

106
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 5: just awesome to see the girls getting the following that

107
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 5: they deserve and off the back of her successful World Cup.

108
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think no, Can I just say something? Okay?

109
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 3: So I think Emily, I mean, she's just admitted herself

110
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: then that she's she's not across social media as much

111
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: as others. So what she meant to say when you

112
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: asked her about Alana Kennedy was Yes, Alana was super

113
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: excited couldn't believe that she'd made contact with you.

114
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: Emily, She's she's requested kitlan Ford and Caitlyn hasn't got

115
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: back to it. Destrat requested kitlan Ford. I just followed her.

116
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: You get Caitland for to follow Kate Richie. That's all

117
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: we need.

118
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, Caitlin's the close friend of mine, so I'm sure

119
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 5: she'll do it. But listen, I don't. I don't think

120
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 5: Alana follows many people. So the fact that she follows you,

121
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 5: that's massive.

122
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: Hard, did you hear? Can you say that one more time?

123
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: Can I say? It's been so amazing to watch your journey.

124
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about friends and you Coitland and

125
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: Sam Kerr as well. God, I mean the photos when

126
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: they brought out the four photos of you girls and

127
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 1: how young you were at the twenty sixteen Olympics in Brazil.

128
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: This is your this is your fourth World Cup and

129
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 1: to grow up doing this with your best friends just

130
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: must be an amazing thing. Just to see it rise

131
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 1: so quickly.

132
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, the first thing I would say is we've

133
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 5: definitely had to glow up. No, it is. It's amazing

134
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 5: and to be able to have grown up with these

135
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 5: girls and play some such a young age now and

136
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 5: represent your country. Like you said in your fourth four Cup,

137
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 5: it's amazing and I think that's for just kind of

138
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 5: what you know makes our team so unique as we

139
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,920
