Speaker 1: gift at the.

44
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 2: Same time, so much gifting. It's great.

45
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: Let's take a look around the grounds.

46
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 3: In football, the Matilda's round it out a pretty mind

47
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: blowing twenty twenty three really with a tight defeat last

48
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: week against Canada. They didn't face Canada twice. We spoke

49
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: about the five nil defeat in the first game. The

50
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: second was definitely a more familiar lineup for the Tillies.

51
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 3: They're retiring at Christine Sinclair's farewell game. That Canada ended

52
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: up winning one nil. It did mark an emotional moment

53
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: I think for everyone in international football. She's, like we

54
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: said said last week, a real icon of the game

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 3: and someone that's been there through this amazing transition.

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: Period of growth. And it was did you see her

57
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 2: get subbed off?

58
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: I think the whole plays from both teams gave her

59
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: hard on the way off, about a five minutes to

60
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: get off.

61
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: The field, and so she deserves.

62
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great until he's gave it there all.

63
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: But the toll of a packed schedule was evident in

64
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: an excellent piece by Samantha Lewis on ABC Sport.

65
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: If you haven't read it, jump online and have a look.

66
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: She really highlights the challenges faced by Matilda's after that

67
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: intense twenty twenty three Women's World Cup. For example, players

68
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: like Steph kat Lee, Caitlin Ford, they had eighteen days

69
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: off before resuming club football in Europe after the World Cup.

70
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: It's not a long time for a come doown.

71
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: And that's I think the biggest thing.

72
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: So there's plenty of chat about the physical loading and

73
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: obviously that's why we played one of the reasons why

74
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 3: we you know, didn't play all the big names in

75
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: that first match. But Lewis also delves into that question

76
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: of mental and emotional fatigue that the Matilda's are more

77
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: than likely experiencing after that amazing World Cup journey, like

78
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: have they had time to process that World Cup journey?

79
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: No way?

80
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: Are they equipped?

81
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: And then I guess the question moving forward is are

82
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: they genuinely equipped to handle a packed schedule? And it's

83
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: something it's interesting because it's something that's probably new to

84
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: them as elite athletes. I think the men's football stars

85
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: are used to flying all over the world and playing

86
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: in international windows and things like that, but it is

87
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: very new for the women. I think when you talk

88
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: about a World Cup, for instance, the hype and the

89
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: build up to that afterwards you are cooked, like you

90
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 3: are spent.

91
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: It's a huge and the fact that it was on

92
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: home soil, and as you touched on, like if we

93
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: looked back, I don't know, five years ago, there's no

94
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: way they would have played that many international matches, even

95
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: these friendlies on top of Olympic qualifiers, Like there's a

96
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: lot going.

97
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: On Asian Cup qualifiers over the next felve months. You've

98
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 3: got the Agent Cup and the Olympics. Plus they're obviously

99
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: they're normal, which is really where they earn most of

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: their money in their club jobs. So it's yeah, it's

101
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: a real challenge and I think it's a shift. It's

102
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: a great problem to have, but I do think it's

103
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: something that if I was like, if you're involved in

104
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: football at that level, you've really got to take into

105
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: account how they're handling the mental load. Absolutely, so, as

106
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: we say, it's been a really swift transition for the

107
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: players from let's be honest, relatively relative obscurity to being

108
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 3: arguably probably not argument to be the most popular team

109
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: in the country. But no arguments like it's and that

110
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: is a big shift, isn't it. Yeah, it really is

111
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: just a little word on Christine Sinclair Canada have confirmed

112
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: that December the twelfth, because she wears the number twelve,

113
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 3: so the twelfth of twelfth moving forward will become Christine

114
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: Sinclair Day.

115
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: Holiday.

116
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: I'm not sure it's a holiday. They're just it's a day.

117
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: It's not a public holiday. It's yesterday, so good.

118
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: That's epic, So yeah, I guess.

119
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: And just finally with that, we hope the Tillies are

120
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: all having well. They're not little back at their clubs.

121
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: We have some time off because yeah, the Olympic qualifiers

122
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: against his Beeker stand in February, so not long.

123
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: It's just constant for them.

124
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: It is in some While continuing that Olympic qualifying news

125
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: that shocked a lot of football fans, England's Lioness's gave

126
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: they're all in a bid for Team GB's Olympic dream.

127
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: But despite an incredible six nil thrashing of Scotland, the

128
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: Netherlands secured top honors in their Nations League group with

129
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: a last minute goal against Belgium. So it was pretty hectic.

130
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: So England were trying to qualify on behalf of Great Britain.

131
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: They had to win, they had to score more goals

132
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: more than three goals in their win, three more goals

133
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: than the Netherlands needed to score.

134
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 2: Correct.

135
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: Yes, that was a hard sentence back at out and

136
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: it was just quite an insane thing. So it was

137
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: almost like in two minutes, so Lucy Bronze scores an

138
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: injury time for England to take them to six nil.

139
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: They were previously five nil and not topping the pool.

140
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: So Lucy Bronze scores, so they've got their differential, they're

141
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: topping the pool. They all celebrate like crazy and then

142
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: wait as the game's finish in this huddle to find

143
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: out what's going on with the Netherlands game. The Netherlands

144
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: then score and there's heartbreak for England and the Lionesses.

145
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: It was full on rough. The fact that they were

146
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: happening at the same time is kind of cool, but

147
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty right beautiful.

148
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: I love sport, we do love tragedy in triumph.

149
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 1: And so it was kind of one of those tricky

150
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: things where where England obviously played really well in that game,

151
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: but they had defeats against the Dutch and Belgium that

152
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: put them in that tricky situation in the first place.

153
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: The performances earlier in the campaign that meant, you know,

154
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: they shouldn't have been left having to rely on goal

155
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: difference at the very end.

156
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: And I think what this has opened up is discussion

157
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: the fact that GB team GB and Sweden and not

158
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: in the Olympics. It opens up a discussion about the

159
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: fact there's only twelve women's teams in the Olympics verse

160
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: sixteen men's teams, which is bizarre because we talked about

161
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: the fact that Paris is going to be the first

162
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: Olympics with gender parody in terms of numbers, but there's

163
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: still differences in the sports.

164
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is strange, isn't it.

165
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: And I think with how competitive women's football is, obviously

166
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of countries that are catching up to

167
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: those top teams. Twelve is obviously not.

168
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: Enough, definitely not enough.

169
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: And so there was a little bit of back and

170
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: forth in the comments section, which, look, we love back

171
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: and forth in the comments it at all times, but

172
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: tell us what was it back and forth lating to

173
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: in this instance Glough.

174
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: So the post that we did said something like Lioness's

175
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: failed or England failed to qualify for the Olympics, and

176
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: then in the in the caption described the fact that

177
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: they were representing Team GB because England decide when they

178
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: want to players England or when they want to players

179
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: Team GB with their other countries to help them along

180
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: with My.

181
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: Question so confusing.

182
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: So is it just the Olympics that they decide to

183
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: like reign in their neighbors and say, let's compete as one.

184
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. And imagine if we did that with

185
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: New Zealand. Imagine matter rugby sevens. If for every other

186
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: tournament you played separate and then I was like, oh,

187
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: we really want to ensure we win the gold medal.

188
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: It's all come together, no doubt, You're right like every

189
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: other I was sitting.

190
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: There thinking when we're you know, looking at the back

191
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 3: and forth. I was like, hang on a sec, Like,

192
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: what other competition do they compete as GB?

193
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: COMM games are separate, aren't they?

194
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

195
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: Separate? And comm games separate at all the World Cups.

196
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. What is the reason.

197
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

198
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: If you're a great British sport officiando in the comments,

199
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: tell us why you decided to invite your neighbors to

200
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 3: play with you at the Olympics. In basketball, on Friday night,

201
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 3: the Sydney Flames won a close one against the UC

202
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: Capitals in Canberra to celebrate Test Imagines two hundred and

203
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: fiftieth WNBL matching Style two fifty.

204
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: What a leedged congratulations. She's also just a bloody great human.

205
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: She's horribly nice.

206
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: After overcoming a challenging eighteen months marred by injuries, Match

207
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 3: has been outstanding for the Flames and reflected on her achievements,

208
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 3: saying I feel really grateful and humbled to have played

209
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: in the WNBL since I was sixteen.

210
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous.

211
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: It has been more than half my life. Now.

212
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: I would not be the personal player I am today

213
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 3: without this league and all the wonderful people involved. My

214
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 3: fondest memory is obviously the championship with the Boomers, but

215
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: it is also the friendship and connections I have made

216
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: that will last with me forever.

217
00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: Love.

218
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: That result left the Capital's winless and the Flame sitting

219
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: in fifth after seven rounds. The Towns will Fire sit

220
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: on top of the ladder with six wins from their

221
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: opening seven games up.

222
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: The Flames. In boxing, Ossi Boxing Sensation Ebiting Bridges faced

223
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: a world title disaster in San Francisco on Sunday morning,

224
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Ossie Time when she lost her IBF ban to wait

225
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: world title in a stunning upset against Japanese fighter Mio Yoshida.

226
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: Bridges aka the Blonde Bomber, was the favorite heading into

227
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: the bout, but Yashidah, who only took the fight at

228
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: short notice, had other plans. After the fight went the distance,

229
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: the judges scored the fight ninety nine to ninety one. Okay,

230
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: how do you read boxing scores? Though?

231
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: That's right?

232
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 3: So two of them scored the fight ninety nine to

233
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 3: ninety one and the third judge ninety seven to ninety three.

234
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: I was like, why do we what are we times

235
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: in bay two here?

236
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 2: That's just me shorthanded great.

237
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: In favor of Yashida in a comprehensive decision, It wasn't

238
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: without controvert At the end of the fifth round, Yashida

239
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: landed a punch after the bell and the commentators on

240
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: days and called it borderline Bez.

241
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: The old borderline, the borderline.

242
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: But with Yashida's dominance, it would have been a robbery

243
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: to penalize her Ya. She'da landed one hundred and twenty

244
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: two power punches to Bridges sixty six.

245
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 2: That's huge, double, isn't it? She only took the fight

246
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: two weeks ago.

247
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 3: She stepped in for the box of the Bridges was

248
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 3: meant to be facing who pulled out because of injury,

249
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: and it was everyone thought this was going to be

250
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: walking the park for Bridges because she'd had only just

251
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: fought I think four weeks ago.

252
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: Wow.

253
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: Interesting and I look, there's definitely some thought around the

254
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: fact that Bridges had prepared for another fighter and that

255
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 3: Ishida was a completely different picture. Yeah, so that's tough

256
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: to change your plan that quickly.

257
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: And what I also love is that Yashida. I think

258
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: she calls herself and people call her the fighting single mother.

259
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: Isn't that so cool? Like she is she's out there

260
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: like fighting for a lot more than herself. Like it

261
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: was a pretty cool moment with her daughter. I think

262
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: they came into the ring. That was pretty cool. So

263
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: Bridges took to Twitter or x as old mate Elon

264
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: likes to call it now, and she said she was

265
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: the better fighter tonight, beautiful and humble single mother. Seeing

266
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: how much that win meant to her and her daughter

267
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: did give me some warmth inside. A loss doesn't define me.

268
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: I have no quit. It's all learning and I'll be

269
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: back better and stronger. Thank you to everyone who supports me.

270
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: I love you all. ILL rate that. Yeah, good statement.

271
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: In cricket, it was an electrifying Women's Premier League auction

272
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: over the weekend and Ozzie all around. Anael Sutton hit

Speaker 3: the jackpot, securing a stellar deal with the Delhi Capitals.

274
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: Sutherland's payday of three hundred and sixty four thousand.

Speaker 2: Dollars that's nice. It's one thousand dollars a day.

276
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it doesn't even go for a year.

277
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: For four weeks. Wow, what bad money for four weeks?

278
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:49,880

280
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,680

Speaker 3: She was in Hi demand, with both the Delhi Capitals

286
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: and Mumbai Indians vying for her services. Eventually, the Deli

287
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: Capitals emerged victorious, adding Southern to a star started lineup

301
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: its surprises, notable Aussies such as Alana King, Amanda Jade Wellington,

302

303
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,800

Speaker 3: There are only thirty spots of international players in w BAR,

312
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: which I think obviously influences it, and most were taken

313
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 3: up by players returning to their franchises.

314
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: Which is fair enough.

315
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:27,560

Speaker 3: new national captain Alisa Hily are included in that group.

318
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: Cool, good segway, thank you.

319
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: It was confirmed over the weekend that Elisa Healy has

320
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: been appointed Australia's new women's cricket captain across all three formats,

321
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: replacing Meg Lanning at the helm of the champion team.

322
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: She said in a statement, I'm honored to accept the

323
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: role of captain and I'm grateful for the opportunity to

324
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: lead out our team. I've really enjoyed the support of

325
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: the players over the past few months and their encouragement

326
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: to continue to be who I am and lead the

327
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: group like I normally would from within. My approach will

328
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: remain consistent to what it has been previously, but I'll

329
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: make my own mark on the role and be sure

330
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: that I'm doing the best I possibly can for this

331
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: group to maintain the success we've had. We've just got

332
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: a slight pause while I forgot to try happen to

333
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: one of the stories. Just oh, no pause required, Off

334
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: you go.

335
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 3: In Raby Union, the Ozzie Sevens girls have gone back

336
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: to back bTB taking home the Cape Town Sevens title

337
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 3: early this morning Monday in the final against France.

338
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: It had everything. There was a lot going on.

339
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: There was a lot going on.

340
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: Couldn't have started better for the Aussies. Australia owned three turnovers,

341
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 3: two to Alysia La and one to Madison Ashby and

342
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 3: all three resulted in trials.

343
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: They were just like that first half was dominant.

344
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 3: I was watching. I didn't get up at three am

345
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 3: to watch it, poor fan. But I did watch it

346
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 3: this morning on the replay on stand and my brother

347
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: was watching it with me and he was like, God,

348
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: they're good over the ball, they really are. That contest

349
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 3: it's so important sevens and they really showed how good

350
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: they were. Yeah, the workout that breakdown, like I said,

351
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 3: was elite and it was great to see the girls

352
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 3: in gold rewarded for their physical work at the tackle

353
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: contest and now they try to the Aussies. They're up

354
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: twenty two. It looked like it was all over.

355
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: To be honest, well, it was funny because, as you said,

356
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: well we watched I watched the replay with Dad just

357
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: before the podcast. Isn't it funny that this is like,

358
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: I guess Tefa is technically my job now. They were

359
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: in the off season, like just doing research, just working,

360
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: sitting on the couch watching rugby. Seven's so good.

361
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: It's a good last job ever, best job ever. Go on,

362
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: you're going to tell a story about watching with you

363
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 3: with Bradley or.

364
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, yeah, wow, sidetracked. It was weird. It's weird

365
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: when you know the score and you're watching it like

366
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: what happened and then feel nervous.

367
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they did.

368
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 3: They French obviously are super physical. They weren't about to

369
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 3: lay down. They scored two late tries in the first half.

370
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 3: That first half went three minutes over time.

371
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: It was long.

372
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: That last three minutes.

373
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: They looked like we were gassed and just to add

374
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 3: a little bit more tension, try scoring a machine. Madison

375
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: Levi received a straight red on half time for a

376
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: high tackle, which wasn't great. So the Ausies played the

377
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: entire second half with six on the field and they

378
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 3: tried to control the tempo with being one player short,

379
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: obviously up by three with two minutes on the clock,

380
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 3: rookie Caitlyn Shave backed herself and made a break down

381
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: the siline to score under the post and take the

382
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: score to twenty nine to nineteen. There was a late

383
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 3: try to the French that left Aussies with a pretty

384
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: nervy last fifteen seconds to survive, but they secured the

385
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: kickoff and sent the ball into the stands for an

386
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 3: epic victory.

387
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: Madison Ashby was.

388
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: Awarded the Player of the Final and skipper Chlotte Ksleick

389
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 3: told media after the final, it was a really gutsy

390
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 3: effort from the girls, finishing the game with six players.

391
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 3: We played France last week and also had a red card,

392
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: so to do that two weeks and I was super

393
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 3: brave from the girls.

394
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: I forgot it was against brand Sta. Yeah, feeling pretty

395
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: devastated that Australia have done that to them twice.

396
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: Now, that was a big optune.

397
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: They let's slip, but they they lost it in that

398
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 3: first three minutes with those turnovers. Yeah they did. Charlotte said,

399
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 3: I'm just so proud of them. We always fight for

400
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 3: each other and the last minute of the first half

401
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 3: really took it out of everyone, so to keep going

402
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: the second half was really good.

403
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: To win here and go back to back.

404
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 3: We haven't done that well, so it just sets our

405
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 3: season up really well and the next one will be

406
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: in Perth.

407
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: Our good see you there. In even more football news,

408
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: the A League marches on and Courtney Vine, our Matilda's

409
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: star marked her much anticipated return from injury in style.

410
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: Fine scored the winning goal for Sydney FC against the

411
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: Newcastle Jets, securing a one nil victory for the Liberty

412
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: A League champions. She left it late, with the goal

413
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: coming six minutes from the final whistle, breaking the deadlocks

414
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: with a goal that showcased her skill and determination. The

415
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: game also saw the debut of sixteen year old recruit

416
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: Madeline Caspers, who was thrust straight into the starting line

417
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: because I saw that the media release that she'd signed,

418
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: I didn't realize she started the same day.

419
00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 3: It go.

420
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: When he's sixteen. You don't need to up You're in.

421
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: That's so true. You don't need any activation exercises. Gri in.

422
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: That's so good. Oh, good on it. She made an

423
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: immediate impact with the junior Matilda's sensation, exhibiting class vision

424
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: and passing accuracy. Our match of the round did not disappoint,

425
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: with the top the top of the top of the

426
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: top of the table clash seeing Perth Glory make a

427
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: resounding statement against Melbourne City, triumphing that's the weird word

428
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: three to one. In a game that had everything, Millie

429
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: Farrow secured her first ever a League hat trick and

430
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: etched her name in the Glory's history books. It was

431
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: so cool. Her third goal was epic. The english woman's

432
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: sensational performance saw her score in the thirty second, fifty

433
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: first and seventy first minutes, becoming the first Perth player

434
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: since a legendary just a minor name these days. Sam

435
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: Kirk heard of it twenty nineteen. She doesn't even go

436
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: here to achieve a liberty ale cat drink. She plays

437
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: somewhere else these days. Yeah, her third goal was epic.

438
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: She she had a defender on her and then instead

439
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: of taking a shot on goal, she just like dribbled

440
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: around the goalie and the poor goalie just like ended

441
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: up diving. I did not envy those people.

442
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: It's not fun.

443
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: Not fun.

444
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: In some more data news, we love the data.

445
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: We love the data.

446
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 3: I've been talking about setting up a little a little

447
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 3: help page almost on our website, and maybe we could

448
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 3: help Chloe how to teacher how to drink.

449
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: Water out of a cup that she just spilled all

450
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: over herself.

451
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: But a little help page on our website that links

452
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 3: you to all of these amazing, amazing studies.

453
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: Amazing. I also like you've kind of thrown me under

454
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: the bus, because that means we have to get it done.

455
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: When you tell the people, oh, I can do it.

456
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 3: What were you just saying about this being your full

457
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 3: time role now that you're not training anymore. Should get

458
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: it done anyway? And another amazing study released last week.

459
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 3: This time it was from MKTG Sports and Entertainment who

460
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 3: unveilved ground baking findings from its report, which was called

461
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 3: Fan Speed and delved into the state of gender equity

462
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: in Australian sports. The key findings included in October twenty

463
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: twenty three, forty one percent of Australined sports fans perceived

464
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: men's and women's sports as equal, marking an eight percent

465
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 3: increase from March. So we've gone from thirty two percent

466
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 3: to forty one percent.

467
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 2: There's one reason for that.

468
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: Let's be real, there's the main reason for that.

469
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: Matilda's that person, Sam Kerr.

470
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 3: The most significant driver of gender equity perception was the

471
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 3: ease of finding women's sports games on TV, with a

472
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: remarkable fourteen percent increase.

473
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: Isn't that interesting?

474
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: Shocking? It's like your t shirt actually says watch women's sport?

475
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: Would you believe it?

476
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 3: Perceptions of equity in quality of play and competitiveness both

477
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: rose by ten percent ten percent respectively, and younger Australians

478
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 3: and female strains exhibited higher perceptions of gender equity and

479
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 3: experienced the highest increases in twenty twenty three. Their enthusiasm

480
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: and support are crucial to driving further progress.

481
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: In the area.

482
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: That's just not surprising, is it.

483
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: The next gen bringing it home?

484
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: Bring it home. The study also uncovered a disparity in

485
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: media coverage, with only one in five Australians believing that

486
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: the media adequately covers women's sport. Matt Connell, Managing director APAC, said,

487
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: while we celebrate the substantial increase in gender equity perceptions

488
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: with forty one percent of Australians now recognizing them as equal,

489
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: our ultimate goal is to achieve one hundred percent acceptance.

490
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 1: To accomplish this, we must continue to work on increasing

491
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: media coverage and financial support of women's sport, as they

492
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: remain the most significant barriers to reaching that milestone. I

493
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: think what's really cool in two parts about this study

494
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: from my perspective, is firstly, the fact that it's about

495
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: Australian sport, because we obviously bears it's almost every week

496
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: we get new data, which we love. But I think

497
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: Australian sport is quite different to where it's at in

498
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: the US and the UK, So I think it's really

499
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: cool that we actually get a direct look at how

500
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: it's performing. But the fact that it's backing up what

501
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: we say about the fact that there has to be

502
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: increased access and it has to be on TV. Like

503
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: people aren't just saying these things for the same it

504
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: there's genuine data that supports that fact.

505
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's when we see it happen, we see

506
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 2: a direct result.

507
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

508
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 3: Craig Roberts, I love this quite I left too in

509
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 3: here and that was a bit coody. But he says

510
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 3: two truisms that get repeated at every sports marketing conference

511
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 3: these days are he can't be what you can't see

512
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: said that a billion time, and what gets measured gets managed.

513
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: I like that one.

514
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: That's a new one. I must not be going to

515
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: enough conferdence.

516
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 3: This fans speed research sets a baseline for how far

517
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 3: from parody we are on access and visibility of women's

518
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 3: sport compared to men's. Now we have the data, the

519
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 3: challenge to our industry is how quickly can we improve

520
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: these metrics by expanding access, improving quality of coverage, and

521
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 3: shifting perceptions of performance and competitiveness for women's sport.

522
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: That's really cool, preach Craig.

523
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 2: Love that, love it.

524
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story.

525
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: So some more football or more football. It's been a

526
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,959
Speaker 3: bit football tinged. It's been a bit of a football year,

527
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: to be honest. We still like football, true, the beautiful game.

528
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 3: So this is a bit of an update on the

529
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 3: Women's Football World Cup ongoing sagas for you. There's a

530
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 3: couple of them, but these are two in particular. The

531
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 3: accusations against former Royal Spanish Football Federation president Luis Rubiales

532
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: continued to grow after report was released by FIFA outlining

533
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 3: the reasons for the band handed down to the disgraced

534
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 3: former president the English Fahair Debbie Hewitt, has accused Lewis

535
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 3: Rubale's a further inappropriate conduct during the fifth World Cup

536
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 3: final in Sydney. As reported by CNN, FIFA banned Rubals

537
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 3: from all football laid activities for three years in October.

538
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 3: The additional accusations include Rubala's touching England players and forcibly

539
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 3: kissing them such a cream horrible. According to FIFA's report,

540
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 3: Hewitt claimed that Rubal has had an unpleasant and unnecessarily

541
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 3: aggressive tone during the post match ceremony.

542
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: She was standing next to him.

543
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 3: So legit was right up close and personal to his behavior.

544
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: The incidents involved him cupping and stroking the face of

545
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: English player Laura Coombs and forcibly kissing Lucy Moron's. Hewitt

546
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: felt deeply uncomfortable the way Rubella's greeted Spanish players, even

547
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: tapping one on the bottom.

548
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 2: In the report, FIFA's.

549
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: Disciplining Committee published the reason behind Rubella's three ban, highlighting

550
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 3: the severity of his actions and obviously included those new

551
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 3: new ones from England. In response, according to FIFA, Rubella

552
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: said it was disgusting. Hewitt depicted him as some sort

553
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 3: of creep accused her of blatant lies, said she speaks

554
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 3: from ignorance and that her overall statement does a disservice

555
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 3: to her position as chair of the English FA. He

556
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: just keeps doubling down whoa BEIFA completely dismissed Rubala's assessment

557
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 3: in conclusion, saying it had no reason to doubt Hewitt's observations.

558
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: The committee stressed the need for severe sanctions due to

559
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 3: the profound negative impact on FIFA's image, women's football and

560
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 3: women's sport in general.

561
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: Wow, it's actually quite nice that they really stood firm

562
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: in that, because sometimes you just don't know which way

563
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 1: it's going to go.

564
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: They did take their time, but they got there in

565
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: the end.

566
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: Is his mum back in the church? Is she eating

567
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: food now? In some more disappointing news, Jamaican players Rebecca

568
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: Spencer and Cadeza Bunny Shaw dispute claims made by the

569
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: Jamaica Football Federation the JFF regarding their World Cup payments.

570
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: This was a big discussion during and in the lead

571
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: up to the World Cup as.

572
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 2: They pulled out of some qualifieres because they hadn't been paid.

573
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: So it comes from a report by Katie Manganelli from

574
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: Just Women's Sports, and follows a recent interview with Jamaican

575
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: TV station Sports Max with goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer revealing that

576
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: a number of players from the Reggae Girls as they're called,

577
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: have not received their full payments dating back to February.

578
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: This contradicts the jff's press release on October twenty seventh,

579
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: where they assured the public that all World Cup team

580
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: balances had been paid in full. The JFF statement had

581
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: outlined their commitment to compensating the team, including those who

582
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: participated in the qualifying rounds but didn't make the final

583
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: World Cup squad. The confusing part is here, Bez, is

584
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: that it was only a few days before they'd said

585
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: there'd been a short fall of payments and they couldn't

586
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: afford to pay the players, and then they released this statement,

587
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: and the players have been like, hang on a second.

588
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: So there's been some weird inner workings. Obviously, there's been

589
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: backlash when they said there was a shortfall of payments

590
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: that they hadn't paid the players, and so it's almost

591
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: like they've just decided to.

592
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: Make the statement and not make the payments.

593
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what it sounds like.

594
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 3: It was very strange and I think again these are

595
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 3: the kind of things that JFF said that they hadn't

596
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 3: got their fund the payments from FIFA, so therefore couldn't

597
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 3: pass the money on. But again it's something that FIFA

598
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 3: really needs to take a stronger stance on. They need

599
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: to have some oversight of these nations and ensure that

600
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 3: the players are being remunerated.

601
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what to watch.

602
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,320
