WEBVTT - MINI: The Matildas

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday we were saying it's miracle Monday. It wasn't a miracle.

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:11.879
<v Speaker 2>It was marvelous Monday World. Uncle Matilda's what a huge

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 2>dominating win four nil.

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 3>We absolutely dominated. I was so proud to be here

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 3>in Australian last night.

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 2>It was a great game to watch and I can't

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 2>imagine how nerve racking it must have been since Thursday

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 2>night when they lost, right and you've got four days

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:32.279
<v Speaker 2>of national scrutiny. Is Sam Kirk going to play? Are

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 2>they going to cope with the pressure? Canada are ranked

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>higher than you? How do you hold your nerve in that,

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 2>not just not just survive last night, but actually come

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 2>out playing your best You played in the whole tournament

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 2>so far right here in Melbourne at Amy Park, when

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 2>you know if you don't win, you're out.

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 3>And you see the day before you see New Zealand

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 3>who's the other host nation going out? So there's even

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 3>more pressure on Australia to at least go through to

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 3>the next round. But we played I thought it was

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 3>a completely different team to what we saw in the

0:00:58.880 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 3>first two games.

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 2>There was something just joyous. My ninete year old daughter

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Ruby was down at fed Square and I kept getting

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 2>all the sort of crowdy action she was filming about

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 2>all the goals and the penalty. She said, there's also

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of booing with those cheene knooks trying to

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 2>get to free kicks out throughout the game. But she

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.960
<v Speaker 2>said there were thousands of people down there. She said,

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 2>it's an amazing atmosphere. How amazing for the materials now

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 2>and now they can go through. So you've got a

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 2>whole week now until hopefully Denmartin it's Monday night in Sydney,

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 2>got a week to recover. Hopefully sam Ka will be

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 2>playing where they really really need her. But even without

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>sam Ka, Yes, so that whole team and old Tony

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 2>the coach getting his yellow card, were coming out with

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.960
<v Speaker 2>a little tactical area.

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Do you think as we get closer to the final

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 3>he'll dress up a bit more or yeah.

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 2>I've got to say, I know in Melbourne we like

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 2>to keep it cold. I mean, I'm wearing a hoodie here,

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>a black hoodie, which is the official aware of a

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>man our age Tony in Melbourne. But he looked like

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 2>he was an uber driver and had a quick pickup.

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>He looks like he just woke up. They're like games to.

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Soccer. Managers are in suits, you know, look at Pep

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Gualdola or stuff like that. In the EPR, they're in

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:09.519
<v Speaker 2>the Armani suits.

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 3>He had a hoodie and the cat pulled down over

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 3>his face. Looks like he's tried not.

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>To be now.

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, still on the show. Our producer Caitlin was so

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 2>excited about last night. She had Matilda scarf on. It

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>must have been amazing watching that and seeing real history.

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>And it's the great thing is it's from page news today.

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>This is history front page news, and the news about

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Buddy gets a slightly smaller thing on the front page.

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.519
<v Speaker 2>It's history changing. This is amazing.

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was huge, Like I think growing up and

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I grew up playing with Raso Haile.

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 2>No mention, here's the bad wagon. I could have gone

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>all the way for my knee.

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.799
<v Speaker 1>But to watch them just absolutely dominate under the pressure

0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>that they had, and to see all the little girls

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.639
<v Speaker 1>in the crowd, and to be a girl that grew

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>up playing sport and never really had that to see

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I think for Australians and the girls at watching Matila

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>last night, Like that just meant so much more than

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>just that win. And so that was just awesome and

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm just so proud.

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 2>It's incredible. It was just so amazing to see. Yeah,

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I thought I loved the whole game. It was so

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>exciting and they were so brilliant as well. They can

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 2>now go into the next tournament. It's all knockout games now,

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>but as serious contenders, they deserve to be at the

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 2>World Cup.

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that are incredible and I have high, high hopes

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 1>of my scuff, so I will be wearing that next Monday.

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 3>Also, And you were.

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Saying to Jack and I, as much as we're sort

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 2>of I've been watching all games really behind it, it's

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>not quite the same for guys watching this, right, It

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>is a different experience, you know. You were saying, it's

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 2>a different thing the where you're seeing it from, like

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>people like Jack and Iron Men.

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you growing up, it's like a lived experience, right,

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>So growing up you wouldn't have noticed that you didn't.

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 1>You had all these men that you would watch and

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>aspire to and could be one day.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Right, you could easily play soccer as a guy. And

0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 2>as much as.

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>You understand that women should could you know, have equality

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>and do these things and see these girls and they

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>deserve what they get. No one experiences it unless you

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>are a female and you haven't had that and you

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>notice the difference. And so that's why just last night,

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I was really emotional because I just thought, Wow,

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>this is incredible. All these little girls can actually see

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>people like these women doing incredible things, doing great things,

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and they can see themselves doing that one day, and

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>that's an option. Yeah.

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 2>When I spoke to my daughter yesterday when she was

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 2>getting on the tram from fred Square, she was in tears.

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 2>She was saying, so she said, this is the most

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 2>amazing experience of my life, just being there with everyone

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 2>watching history, watching these girls do something on a world stage,

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 2>magnificent and it being front page news. She said, he

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 2>really felt like she was seeing a big shift in history.

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 3>And just think of the amount of pressure that was

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 3>on them last night, my god, and they didn't even

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 3>meet the pressure. They exceeded the expectations of Australians.

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, amazing.

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes. The Christian O'Connell Show podcast
