Joey Lynch

Andrew Mangan

The Matildas will have to go the long way around to win the Women’s Asian Cup after Sunday’s 3-3 draw with South Korea meant they were unable to overhaul their opponent’s goal difference, and must now face the highest-ranked winner of China and North Korea. Joey Lynch (ESPN, The Guardian) returns as crunch time arrives for Joe Montemurro and his team.
Then to England, where Arsenal battled their way past Mansfield Town on Saturday to progress to the FA Cup quarter finals - which is, remarkably, likely third or even fourth on their present list of priorities. With a potentially legendary season coming to the boil - but still with plenty to do domestically and in Europe - Arseblog’s Andrew Mangan discusses the Gunners in depth.
Also on the agenda: Iran’s women’s team labelled ‘wartime traitors’ in a deeply troubling circumstance, Old Firm disgrace and more…

Tracey Holmes

Martin Tyler

The US & Israel’s joint strikes on Iran have dominated global geopolitical headlines this week, and while not of primary concern, the ramifications for football are significant.

Then to England, where Martin Tyler was behind the mic as Manchester United earned a sixth win in seven under Michael Carrick to move to third. Martin provides his wise counsel on United, Arsenal, and also England as it approaches sixty years since they won the World Cup, but dream again.
Also on the agenda: the Matildas kick off their home Asian Cup with a 1-0 win over the Philippines, Auckland make a statement and cut the margin on the Jets, and St Pauli look to be escaping relegation, once again.

Alen Stajcic

The Women’s Asian Cup kicks off this weekend as the Matildas look to reach at least the semi-finals and secure qualification to next year’s World Cup. Taryn Heddo (10/Paramount+) will be calling the tournament and returns for a look at the Matildas, as well as heavy hitters China and North Korea.
Alen Stajcic managed both Australia and their first-up opponents Philippines at Asian Cups (and subsequent World Cups), and both to a high degree of success. He considers where expectations should lie, and reflects on his time with the Filipinas, which he recalls as his fondest in football.
