Welcome to the first episode of The Players Pod with former A-Leagues and Socceroos defender Robbie Cornthwaite, where each week he will be joined by the biggest names in Australian Football to talk about the biggest issues in Australian Football.
Robbie kicks things off with a bang as he is joined by Melbourne Victory’s Chris Ikonomidis and Adelaide United’s Craig Goodwin to discuss everything to do with the World Cup next month, including their hopes of playing for the Socceroos, and the discussion around Qatar’s human rights issues.
They also talk about learning from their respective Victory and United teammates in Nani and Josh Cavallo, with Ikonomidis talking up his personal times with the Portuguese superstar and Goodwin praising Cavallo for his resilience since coming out.
Robbie also goes over where each of them are at heading into round 3 of the Isuzu Ute A-League this weekend and how both are expecting to bounce back after tough losses last week.
