1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: You're listening to Will and Woody Woods.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 2: Tonight eight o'clock the Women's World Cup soccer tournament kicks

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 2: off in Australia. Are hugely exciting, particularly given that our

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: girls and Matilda's are a massive chance to win this

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 2: one of the biggest sporting events in the globe, the

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: Women's World Cup. I know there are lots of people

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 2: that are hugely fired up about this, absolutely none more

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: so than Georgie Parker from Channel seven, who is on

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: the ground for kickoff. Georgie joins us right now. Welcome Georgie,

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: Hello boys, how are we outstanding?

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: Thank you Georgia.

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: How's the reception? How's the feel on the ground there?

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: Oh, it's unbelievable. There is families. I was flying up

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: here today from Melbourne and you're in the airport. There's

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: Irish flags flying around. There's families with their kids taking

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: them up. There's young group of guys going up wearing

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: Matilda Di scarves. This incredible vibe that we haven't probably

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: seen here since two thousand and elem big high Huntrey

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: getting behind them and walking down the street. People are

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: wearing this carfs. It feels like Grand Final week for

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 3: the rugby league or for AFL, but everybody's behind the

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: one team. It's so so cool, it's so so special

23
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: just to see this huge search in women's sports particularly.

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: But the Matilda's they're a superstar team and I think

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: that we think we might be able to win it

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: as well, and that's why we're so excited about it.

27
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: They're taking on Ireland tonight and it's just so exciting.

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: Who's the main contender there?

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: Georgie is saying that we're right up There has been

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: favorites of the tournament. Who's the biggest danger?

31
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: Well, I think my favorites because it's in Australia and

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 3: that's what We've got a little bit of Australian bias,

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: don't we. But we can't go past the USA. They've

34
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: obviously won it the last two times. Disappointing they had

35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: in Tokyo. They got silver medal against Canada of all teams,

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: so they'll be up there. Number one. You've also got England,

37
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: the Lioness's who have won Euros over in England, so

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: they're coming in in hot form as well. So a

39
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: few big nations we hopefully will get into quarterfinals and

40
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 3: then anything can happen in the finals, so who knows,

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 3: you're just going to get through the stages. So tonight

42
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: as Ireland, then we've got Nigeria and then we've got

43
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: Canada after that, so it's a pretty tough pool. But

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: it all starts off tonight, so you've got to win,

45
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: and it's so important winning your first match. If you're

46
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: starting off on the back foot, that's when it becomes

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: really difficult.

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: And Georgie you mentioned there before like an Olympic sort

49
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: of vibe. Obviously you're a former Olympian yourself. I don't

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: think I've ever seen I mean, I was driving to

51
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: work day and I saw on the biggest billboard that

52
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: I drive past a huge, huge photo of Sam kerb

53
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: up there. I don't think I've ever seen as much

54
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: fanfare about a women's sporting event in my life. Really

55
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: in this country. How does it feel, as I said,

56
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: as a former Olympian, and how does it compare do

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: you think in terms of the excitement and the step

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: that this is for women's sport in this country.

59
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's ginormous seeing this equal representation in

60
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: terms of how much the media giving it attention. I

61
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: mean fifty thousand people there On Friday night at Marvel

62
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: Stadium down in Melbourne for a friendly there were thirty

63
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: thousand people of an MCG down the road. You can

64
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 3: just see how people have this appetite for and it

65
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: starts with seeing it on these billboards, seeing them in magazine,

66
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: seeing them on the TV on the way to the airport.

67
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 3: Billboard after billboard after billboard was big brand supporting these

68
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: women's And you look at Sam Kerr and I think

69
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: that she would be the most famous athlete in Australia,

70
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 3: men or women.

71
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: Wow, absolutely huge.

72
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: She wouldn't be able to walk down the street with

73
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: somebody not knowing who she is. Should be pigger than

74
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: any of the soccer rous and the soccer is obviously

75
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: put in a fantastic performance in Qatar and their World

76
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: Cup in December, but this is at home. We're getting

77
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: behind it. We get behind our team, we love them,

78
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: whether they're a battling team or not, we get behind them.

79
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: So it's really really cool, and it's really cool that

80
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: this is for once. I feel as though these women

81
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: are treated, not treated, but respected, and even more than

82
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: the men. It feels like men have always owned sports

83
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: and for once, we're kind of getting on the other

84
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: end of that, and hopefully we stop calling it women's

85
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: sports and men's sports and we just start calling it sports.

86
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: That's not That's the aim and the hope on the

87
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: end of all of this.

88
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, said nice Georgie. So if we can talk

89
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,880
