Box2Box - Argentina champions of the world, A-League disgrace

Opening Chat & News

Craig Moore

Adriano Del Monte

World Cup Corner

Box2Box with Rob Gilbert, Michael Edgley & Willem van Denderen
Tony Popovic has one further game to assess his squad before selecting his final 26 for the World Cup, with Australia to play Curucao in Melbourne on Tuesday. 53-cap Socceroo Craig Moore casts his eye over those his former teammate has at his disposal, with Lucas Herrington among those making a last-ditch run at the squad.
Then to Italy, where the Azzurri on Wednesday face another decisive World Cup qualifier - this time against Bosnia-Herzegovina. The stakes are immeasurably high: win and they’ll exorcise the years of pain since their last World Cup; lose and that pain only compounds further. Adriano Del Monte (ESPN, beIN Sports et al.) returns with tension set to reach fever pitch.
Also on the agenda: Ufuk Talay signs at Wanderers, Graham Arnold & Iraq on the verge of the truly special & plenty more!

Box2Box - Craig Moore as Socceroos squad sharpens, Adriano Del Monte ahead of Italy’s do-or-die World Cup qualifier

Craig Foster

Cerys Jones

The Matildas have fallen to Japan 1-0 in the final of the Women’s Asian Cup, remarkably for a third time. Former Socceroos captain Craig Foster returns to assess the success of the tournament - which broke all manner of records - and reckon with the legacy of a group that have achieved greatly, but still lack a crowning glory.
Furthermore, with the Brazil 2027 Women’s World Cup coming into focus, attention turns to the direction of Joe Montemurro’s ageing squad. The Athletic’s Chelsea reporter Cerys Jones returns amid reports that Sam Kerr could be on the way out of the club where she’s won eleven titles.
Also on the agenda: Senegal sensationally stripped of their AFCON title, Manchester City lift another League Cup, and the Socceroos’ away kit polarises.
