1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Jerzy and Amanda jam Nason.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: The games are well and truly underway and Patty from

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 2: the opening ceremony to the Aussie's scoring gold after gold

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: in the pool, and just moments ago our Matilda's were

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: victorious over Zambia, taking them down six ' five. Here

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: to break it all down for us, the Today Show

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: sports star Alex Callen. Hello, Hello, I'm very well.

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: Where I am right now. I cannot believe what just happened.

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: I am speechless almost. I am in absolute raptures at

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: what I just witnessed. Six ' five. You don't see

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: that score line very often and the Matilda's, my goodness, gracious,

12
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: they just pulled that out of the fire.

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's a high scoring game in sockey and

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: as you say, you just don't see that. It's like

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: a touch football score it is.

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: And look, they were very good Zambia. They were so

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: so good that I thought they'd beat us handsomely, but

18
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: they didn't. You know. Barbara banda absolute superstar for Zambia,

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: opened the scoring within a minute of the game. They

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: raced out to a two to one win. Then it

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: was three to one, four to two at half time.

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: We just kept coming back. You know, we had a

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: hailing rapso headed from a set piece Alana Kennedy as well,

24
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: and then we just sort of kept coming. Then the

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: second half we were five to two down. It was

26
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: five to two to come back from that is simply unbelievable.

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: We had Steff Catley with that penalty goal and a

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: three kick as well that just went through the hands

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: of that tall goalkeeper from Zambia, a massive mistake and

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: it was five all for what seemed like an eternity.

31
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: And then Michelle Haymond, the thirty six year old superstar

32
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: from Shelle Harbor there on the South coast, out of

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: the team in twenty nineteen, comes back in to replace

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,639
Speaker 1: Sam Kerb when she injured her acl earlier this year

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: and just scores the winner six ' five. Matilda's this

36
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: history unbelievable, I tell you, And I'm still on such

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: a high. I just can't let that happen.

38
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: And what happens now, well, it's.

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: Not over yet. We take on the US. We take

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: on the US next and there's a bit of revenge

41
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: there because they beat us for the bronze medal in

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: Tokyo a few years ago four to three, denied US

43
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: an Olympic medal, an elusive Olympic medal. We keep coming fourth, James.

44
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: We came forth it at the World Cup last year,

45
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: fourth in Tokyo. So the US are really good. They

46
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: beat Zambia three nil a few days ago, so they're very,

47
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: very handy. Trinity Rodman, she's really good, daughter of Dennis Rodman.

48
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: The you go the Chicago Bulls superstar. Yeah, that's pretty cool.

49
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: She's really fantastic. So they're going to be ready to play.

50
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: And we, of course lost to Germany a few days

51
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: ago three nils, so we've made it pretty hard for ourselves,

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: but we're still in this. We go back to Marseille

53
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: to play that game Wednesday night my time, Thursday morning yours.

54
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: So we can take it away in Marseilles. To quote

55
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: the angels there, that would be fantastic.

56
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: The Angels. I've been playing that song so often. What

57
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: a song?

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: That Dame is a song you forget Selene do at

59
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: the end of the Olympic, at the opening ceremony, you

60
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: should have had that, you know, her building out that.

61
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, taking me a word of Marseilles. I've been blaring

62
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: that the whole time. What are songs but and what

63
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: about Selene Dion. I mean, no one expected that. I've

64
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: been watching that doco where she's sort of talked at

65
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: length at about her illness, and I said, there's no

66
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: way she's coming back to do something like what she

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: did that night. I was just I was not actually there.

68
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: I got to say. I was in Montpellier with the

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: Australian athletics team. The poor athletics team missed out each

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: year because they're sort of at a training camp outside.

71
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: But just watching that moment, you know, Selene singing from

72
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: the top of the Eiffel Tower, unbelievable. And there's just

73
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: been so many moments, you know, Jess Fox earlier tonight

74
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: down in women's sevens team. You know, it's been a

75
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: wonderful couple of days for Australia, let me tell you.

76
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: And the opening ceremony, I watched it without looking at

77
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: any sort of commentary from social media and I liked

78
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: it then and then I looked at the pile and

79
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: I thought, I ain't got a minute. I must be

80
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 2: missing something here.

81
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: Well, well, look it was trying times, it was you know,

82
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: it was raining, of course, but I was watching the

83
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: French one. Unfortunately, I didn't see our coverage. I was

84
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: watching the French one. I could hardly understand what was

85
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: going on. Of course, I don't really speak that very

86
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: good at French. But look, I thought it went really well.

87
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: We went off without a hitch. The Australians were fantastic.

88
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: I thought that that torch would go out. I was

89
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: so worried. I thought that old guy in the wheelchair

90
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: would drop it. Rafa and Nadal looked really worried as

91
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: he was like flying along in that boat, sort of

92
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: looking around at the crew, going is it going to

93
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: go out? No? It did luckily, and it finally got

94
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: to that balloon and just rowed up and it just

95
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: that was it.

96
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: He was carrying that torch like he was carrying a

97
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: cake at a kid's birthday party.

98
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: Come on, don't drop it.
