Rob Gilbert and Michael Edgley are joined by The Age’s Michael Lynch for a look at the 'new era' of the A-League Men’s season three rounds in, which has seen slightly underwhelming crowds in the post Covid-19 era and a few teething problems from the new broadcasters.

Asian Football expert Michael Church joins the show to delve into the myriad of issues facing football in China. The latest of these have led to national manager Li Tie's resignation this week, and the Evergrande Guangzhou Football Stadium's takeover, mid-construction, by government authorities.

Willem van Denderen covers Sam Kerr’s big week and the debut of Cristian Volpato for Roma in the Serie A, and Derek Dyson looks at the final round of group matches in the Champions League.
