Hosted by: Neal Symons This episode's guests: Lou Sticca Val Migliaccio Deyaco KambooziaLou Sticca touched on great elevation of the game as a brand, thanks to the hosting opportunity that the Women World Cup has brought to the Nation.

Also on a critical note, Lou explained the lack of correlation between the success of this tournament and the future operation of the domestic leagues due to flows in the structure of football administration across the Nation when it comes to receiving support from state and federal government.

Val Migliaccio addressed concerns that the clubs may miss out on the great exposure that this tournament has brought by not acting early in structuring themselves in order to be ready welcoming the upcoming influx of players of various age groups, wanting to join in and play the game.

Deyaco Kamboozia elaborated on Lou and Val's point about the importance of looking at the evaluation of the clubs and state federations' structure as a project where a scope needs to be defined of what needs to be done and as part of that all stakeholders of the game be informed of the plans and the project outcome which is namely to address and tackle the issue of the NPL clubs not being prepared to leverage from this valuable post tournament legacy. Deyaco also added that the ever changing landscape of the game needs to be also considered when looking at the issues holistically. Hypes around the remaining games are quite high and so much excitness is around the Australian game vs England and the ifs and buts and all the speculations around it just adds enormously to the level of anxiety...
