Football Belongs: Australia's Football Identity

Ep. 8 - Getting Equal: The power of Australia failing to take the field against USA | How the Matildas' plight reflected a societal gap


Listen Later

Matildas greats Kate Gill and Tal Karp plus current star Tameka Yallop, along with esteemed writer and academic Fiona Crawford, join John Didulica and David Davutovic for a strong-hearted discussion about the gulf that was (partially) bridged after a brave move by a group of Aussie football players.

In this episode:

  • The match between USA v Australia in Detroit, Michigan in September 2015, and why the Matildas didn't play
  • The power of unity and solidarity in trying to break down disparity
  • Equality in sport, how it has changed, and what still remains to be done
