0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Good morning to Protuca Kainan, who last night was at

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the Matilda's ten nil absolute Shalakin of poor Yuzbekistan. Just

0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:10.799
<v Speaker 1>hearing the players go yeah, I said to Tony, don't

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:11.640
<v Speaker 1>take me off un so I've got.

0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 2>At least five very gracious in defeat there.

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>One the headlines I saw was Matilda's massacre as Becca stars.

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Has a little bit aggredible. I really just got the

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 2>women's game there.

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>It's been a big deal for Rezbecka Stan to actually

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.639
<v Speaker 1>allow women to play soccer like that. But it must

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:28.479
<v Speaker 1>have been an amazing scenes. So my daughter Ruby was

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>there last night, so it was like the Taylor Swift gig.

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I was like, come on, what was it that boot

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Maka Come in and tell us what it was like,

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Come in, come in.

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 2>I know she went to Rebel Sport yesterday at the

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Top I did. I did.

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 1>Good morning to Caita and you were you were amazing

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>last year when we all sort of followed the Matilda's

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>It's an incredible run yesterday. What was it like to

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:50.480
<v Speaker 1>see them here in Melbourne last night?

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 3>It was amazing. So I was lucky enough to go

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 3>and see them at the World Cup, and that was

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 3>like nothing I've ever experienced before. The screaming was insane,

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 3>and night really felt like a real celebration of just like,

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, we get to see our heroes again.

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 3>That's what it felt like. It was like in the

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 3>lap of honor really because in the first minute they've

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 3>got a goal and then the game's over within ten

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 3>It was like within the first thirty seconds and everyone

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 3>was like, we got yeah, we got minute.

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.320
<v Speaker 2>It was like three goals, Yes, there was.

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 3>It was very It was like five minutes and we

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 3>had three goals. And one of the girls was the

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 3>girl one she hadn't played the World Cup. Her name

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:27.680
<v Speaker 3>was Michelle Hayman.

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 2>And she hat four or five goals.

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she got four goals. Yeah. It was incredible. But

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 3>the thing that I really noticed and I loved was

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 3>every time, you know, one of the big players that

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 3>was famous for the World Cup kind of went to

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 3>the corner to take a kick call was warming up,

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.759
<v Speaker 3>the crowd would just scream, just scream like they were

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Sam Kirk, It was amazing last night. Yeah, there was

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 3>fifty five thousand. It was insane, like it was just

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 3>a Wednesday night, Like really young girls walking around and

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 3>just wearing the jerseys and it was just incredible and

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 3>I got myself a jerseys.

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah but righty, So what incredible story that Matilda's success is?

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is.

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 3>And I kept saying to my partner that I went with.

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 3>I was just like, isn't this incredible that we're sitting

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.920
<v Speaker 3>here looking at these girls thinking they're our heroes and actually,

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 3>like even me, I looked at them and was like,

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, I'd love to be one of them.

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:20.800
<v Speaker 3>Like it was just an.

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Incredible, really inspirational But what's happened with the Matilda is

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>an incourse still happening and now off to the Olympics

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 1>as well. But to get fifty five thousand there last

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.239
<v Speaker 1>night in the middle of the week is extraordinary.

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I heard some girls behind me at some point

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.679
<v Speaker 3>go oh, I'm going to say up all night. I

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.079
<v Speaker 3>don't care how late it is when they're playing over

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:39.640
<v Speaker 3>in Paris. I'm just going to go and watch it.

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Gik, isn't it It is? Like I understand why Ruby

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>said it was. She said the atmosphere is like the

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Telliswift thing. Yeah, people are just really really excited and

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>just happy to be here.

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, I had a comparison because I went to the

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 3>first friendly against France before the World Cup, right and

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 3>I was in the crowd at Marvel Stadium for that,

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 3>and it was a very different crowd so it was

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 3>a lot more quieter. There was as much excitement. It

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 3>was just kind of like, Oh, this thing's going on,

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 3>let's go and watch them. And there wasn't like the

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 3>screaming like oh fangirls or anything like that, compared to

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 3>last night, which was screaming at any moment. There was

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 3>drums constantly going. It was just Australia really taking on

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 3>soccer and football and being excited about it and creating

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 3>the atmosphere that they have over in Europe.

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 2>They are the biggest team in Australia right now. Well,

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 2>they gave us the best sporting experience of last year.

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean for me it was, as a girl,

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 3>the best sporting experience ever in my history of watching.

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 3>Like Kathy Freeman came close to it, but I think

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 3>I was a bit too young. Now as an adult,

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 3>I can really appreciate what exactly these girls are doing

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 3>and continue to do, and to sell out fifty five

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 3>thousand on a Wednesday minin for again that we knew

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 3>that they were going to win.

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>You were, they're already going through they already qualified that

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the weekend.

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, so yeah, we were confident. But it was

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 3>just about getting to see that.

0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>So I know it's but everyone saw a great there

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 1>were loads of goals. As a soccer fan, sometimes you

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>can go and see a great game. It's hard to

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>explain to footy fans Neil Neil can sometimes be a

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>great game, but.

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 2>You want to see goals. At least you saw lots

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 2>of goals.

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 3>It was constant, like we were constantly and it was

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 3>boiling so everyone.

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Because yes, it was so hot yesterday evening you.

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 3>Were standing like you were kind of pulling yourself off

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 3>the chair and just being like.

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Then you sit down and then up again.

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Tell us about Rio said, you went to Rebel Sports

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>yesterday to get the shirts.

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 2>They're all selling out, people queuing to get them.

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 3>I've been trying to get one since the World Cup.

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 3>I haven't been able to You're kidding, No, there was

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 3>none available. I went into Rebel yesterday just in hope

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 3>that there was even something because I couldn't wear my beanie.

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't wear my scouts too freaking hot. So went

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 3>in there and there was one small sitting on the

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 3>side of thing. I said, is this have you got

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 3>any more? And he's like yeah, but we've had to

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 3>put them behind the counter because they just were going

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 3>and going and going and they were just such a

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 3>hot topic. They had people that morning before they'd even

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 3>open lining up outside.

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Incredible, it's a brilliant story, yeap.

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.720
<v Speaker 3>And only one goalkeeper jersey was left a small and

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 3>that was it. That's all they had left from the

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:13.279
<v Speaker 3>whole day.

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 2>But what did you actually get hold of? What did

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 2>you find that? Your size?

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 3>So I was the last one to get the medium

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.599
<v Speaker 3>at was what was the name of rebel? Rebel? Yeah,

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 3>so Victoria Gardens. There was only one more medium left

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 3>and it was the perfect size, So yeah, it was.

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 3>It was really really nice to finally put on the

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 3>jersey and be able to support the girls in that way.

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 3>And you know, they're like, you know, it's not cheap.

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 3>It's one hundred and forty five dollars or something, but

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 3>now I really want to just do be your part designer.

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Basebook gaps to cheap.

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh you should have heard the crowd when they you know,

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 3>were introducing the team at the start of the game,

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 3>and they were like Tony Goo Stazen and everyone was like,

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 3>like it was it was.

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay overseas, but he has the most austraining coach name.

<v Speaker 1>You've got a guy called Tony, a hoodie and a

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.599
<v Speaker 1>baseball cap. Even the heat he started with a judio

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>so of being interviewed and it was like, mate, undo

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>that you're going to struggle for this game.

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 2>It's so hot right now. Lose the hoodie.

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.680

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm leading with it.

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>You obviously didn't know I meant some of Caitlyn's Oh,

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Caitlyn's reaction.

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, it's pure gold. I love it.

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.279
<v Speaker 3>I love your point to about with young girls, like

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 3>having a twelve year old daughter.

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 2>We were watching and it's so true. It's absolutely inspirational.

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 2>It's like a new generation for girls.

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 3>I think it's brilliant.
