<v Speaker 1>go with the flow of the nonsense that speeze out

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>of me. All right, Welcome to World Cup Wednesday. We

0:00:50.839 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>are so excited about the World Cup. It's a chance

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 1>for all these countries, the forty eight countries, all their players,

0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>all the mums and dads and families they've all, they're

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>all going to be gathered around. It's all these stories

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>that were waiting to find out. You're going to meet

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>new stars of the Soccer US seventeen seventeen Soccer Rus

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>or the twenty sixth squad are making their debuts. Most

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.119
<v Speaker 1>of them you don't even know who they are. But

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:15.999
<v Speaker 1>over the next color you will get to fall in

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.639
<v Speaker 1>love with them. There's some really exciting young talent they're

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>playing for this country and what it is, you know,

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>in sport in Australia often splits the country unless it's

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.799
<v Speaker 1>the Olympics or the Matilda. Doesn't look what happened last

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>couple of years ago with the Matildas and hold the

0:01:27.960 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>whole country bit by bit got around them and swept

0:01:31.039 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>up in that something we just don't get enough of

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:37.320
<v Speaker 1>these days, which is genuine unity and national cheer to

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>get around each other and what it is to be

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>this country now. And that's the same for all the

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>other forty seven countries are going to be out there.

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>It stops it, it stops. It's a rare thing in life.

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes sport can bring us together and it's where I, you, me,

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 1>we all become. We the soccer Us. They get to

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.359
<v Speaker 1>play this Sunday, two pm on the rare games when

0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not the early hours of the morning, where you

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>can all maybe have some friends around, have a barbecue

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>and support the soccer use. I can't wait. The World

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Cup is an incredible thing. Now. Rio has crunched some

0:02:07.639 --> 0:02:11.799
<v Speaker 1>numbers about the odds, yes, okay, but anything can happen,

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:16.079
<v Speaker 1>that's true. Stars are made. You know, Italy aren't even there.

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>They fail to qualify for the third time, which is

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 1>why we've now got Christian Volpato. He wanted to play

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.240
<v Speaker 1>for Italy, they didn't qualify. It's that, you know, I've

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.519
<v Speaker 1>always loved my home country Australia. How about a little

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>kicking around with you guys. Yeah, all right, we have

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>to have it. We don't want him, boss, he's actually

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>bloody good.

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 3>You have to have him.

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, we'll have him stuff. You'll all be cheering

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>in trustle he starts sparging them in, you'll all start

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>cheering his name.

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 3>But yes, it's not okay. The outlook is not great

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 3>for Australia. We're five hundred and one dollar odds to win,

0:02:48.640 --> 0:02:51.919
<v Speaker 3>five hundred and one to win the whole tournament. Time

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 3>not great, especially when you compare it to Spain, who

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 3>are one hundred times more likely than us to win.

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>England though our third favorite.

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Please don't really, it's not coming home in my lifetime.

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 3>You should get your hopes way up because you just

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 3>want to say me cry, No, I'm just looking at

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 3>the numbers, looking at the numbers.

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Get the hope the numbers don't apply to England. I've

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>been here too many times. That's why I'm getting right by.

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>And the only bandruding I'm junking on, jumping on is

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 1>the Soccer Roofs.

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 3>So yes, it's the but who knows anything could happen,

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we win the whole World Cup.

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:03:28.640 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I was doing some research yesterday and I found this

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>incredible story from the Soccer Roots of nineteen sixty nine.

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>On a qualifying trip to play Rhodesia in Mozambique, soccer

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>whose players hired a local witch doctor. Different time. He

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>buried bones near the goalposts, cursed the opposition Australia one

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>three to one. Then it gets bad. I'm afraid you've

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>refused to pay him. He wanted his money, they said no.

0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>He then cursed the socer. He then cursed the soccer Roofs.

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>You then failed to qualify for every World Cup from

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>nineteen from nineteen teventy four to two thousand and five.

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>The curse was finally lifted in two thousand and four

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 1>when TV presenter John Saffren, Yes, John Saffren Lengen, flew

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 1>back to Mozambiak hired a new witch doctor to reverse

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>the curse. The next year, you qualified and you made

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>the second round, an almost thirty year hex What about this?

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I found two thousand and one Covs Harbor Australia beat

0:04:36.280 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>America American Samoa thirty one nil.

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Archie Thompson scored like what twelve twelveth No, No,

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I've got it wrong, thirteen goals.

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 1>The scoreboard just gave up and just displayed it as

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty two nil. Even though it's thirty one, it still

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>remains in history the biggest loss in an international game.

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 2>At some point that becomes mean spirited?

0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Does it.

0:05:00.280 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Tens?

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Pretty good with you don't have to parle on another

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 3>twenty or thirty two?

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Is incredible?

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.839
<v Speaker 1>So last week I was talking about, you know a

0:05:09.840 --> 0:05:12.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of the countries, they have their songs to cheer on,

0:05:12.840 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>national pride, wish the team well and all the fans

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.719
<v Speaker 1>back home supporting them out there in the at the

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>World Cup. And this is the one from Bosnia. This

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>this is a banger. I'm from Bossia, dig too, America.

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.160
<v Speaker 2>I want to see statue of the deal. I can

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 2>no longer h dg me do you United States? Dig

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>me to Golden.

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Gate Nature There's no landmarks mentioned in Canada on Mexico.

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:42.280
<v Speaker 2>It's a statue limited.

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 1>In the Golden Game Ganger right right, We're not Bossia,

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 1>but certainly one of the Bosan We have nothing Hambauns

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>in this country has nothing until now. Last week I

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>commissioned Rio to make a song, the unofficial People's Anthem

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>for the soccer use and it's time for the world's

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:05.479
<v Speaker 1>first play.

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, my starting point was it had to be an

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 3>Aralian song.

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I can't have any of this, you know, foreign stuff.

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.720
<v Speaker 1>An international football too, yeah.

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Where we beat other countries, you're not trying to be

0:06:17.840 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 3>friends with other countries. So it had to be an

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 3>Aussie song. It had to be a big sum a

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 3>foot stomper, something that would.

0:06:24.280 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Get kicker, very good Mondo rock.

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 4>And.

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm picturing this is what the boys play. They put

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 3>it on the Bluetooth in the locker room. But speaker,

0:06:38.280 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 3>who's got the orcs G what's the Wi Fi code?

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>So we're in the studio getting very fired up.

0:06:45.840 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 3>I do before we play it, maybe have to issue

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 3>a bit of a preemptive apology to the good people

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 3>of Paraguay. I did get a bit carried away a

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 3>little bit with the lyrics I'm sure you're.

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>All we're not starting an international incident. I'm sure you're

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 1>straight up her moves. Let's not pick another fight, but

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you know you just have. I got a fair play,

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>beautiful game, exactly exactly.

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 2>But with that in mind, it's time for the boys.

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 4>Safara, fly in, Annison, nay go.

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 5>Wait to the States, scoring for your country, play you

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 5>for your mates, smash it, Yankes, feed the tracks, Paraguays.

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Sorry Arada, oh day, I'll tell you what the as

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 2>you boys could play.

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 5>It's a love way to the cup when you play

0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 5>the creed of gold.

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 2>This is very good. It's a love way to the

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 2>cup when you play the greed of gold.

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 1>This it's coming to this, Hope, It's coming to.

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 2>This, hope, just on this on alone.

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>How can they not win in the opening game Sunday

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 1>afternoons against.

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Turkey, Yes, I can not. Inspired.

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Incredible, incredible, I've actually got goosebumps.

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 2>That is brilliance.

0:08:32.959 --> 0:08:34.479
<v Speaker 3>And I want to send it to the Yanks to

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.119
<v Speaker 3>let them know we're coming to smash them.

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I want to send it to Turkey.

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Let them beat them in their own country, have their

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:41.679
<v Speaker 1>own World Cup.

0:08:43.239 --> 0:08:47.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, please let it be Please let it be.

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:52.119
<v Speaker 1>This is not the spirit. Is it smashing other countries?

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:53.719
