The consensus in America is that the Socceroos are an easy draw. We could get offended, or we could just see it as USA doing USA things. What is offensive though is the worst sledge a footballer can ever receive - and Matildas icon SBS FIFA World Cup Commentator Lydia Williams has received it. She shares it with us to general shock in the studio.

We also preview the Socceroos’ World Cup campaign and our chances of progressing from the group of “death-ish.”

We talk through Australia’s chances of going all the way (imagine), the tactical impact of extreme heat and mandated drinks breaks, the players to watch, and why a defensive game plan could actually work in the Socceroos’ favour. 

Also in this episode:
Norway took one of the all-time team photos - what should ours have looked like?
Are the Socceroos built to make it out of the group?
Why four quarters of football changes everything
Motherhood, media and life after football
Why workplaces should embrace “Watchers Rights” - check out the SBS campaign!
