Ian and Paul discuss the historical uses of the terms "soccer" and "football" in Australia, and the recent IP Australia ruling that "football" does not automatically equal Aussie Rules.

Plus, there's 100 years ago today, and Paul has discovered some exciting new photos.

Ryan Walters and Matthew Binns are joined by Bucheon 1995 columnist George Slade to take a look back on K League 1 Round 13 and K League 2 Round 12. They each give their main takeaways from a high scoring weekend that saw some lopsided results in K1, and narrow victories in the increasingly tight K2.

Matthew sits down with Suwon FC forward and South African international Lars Veldwijk in the second segment to discuss his move from Jeonju to Suwon. The two discuss the trend of players moving directly to Korea from the Eredivisie, the reason he left Jeonbuk, fitting in to a very good Suwon side, and what promotion would mean to his new club.

The third segment sees Ryan, Matthew, and George look ahead to the weekend to preview the upcoming matches in both divisions and which games to keep an eye on in particular. A number of teams next to each other in the table square off in K1 and K2, and there's plenty of mention of a certain manager that probably should be on the hot seat right now.

Finally, they catch up on previous Eulji Lewis Mailbag questions from weeks past regarding Jeonbuk success and how much José Morais influences it... if at all. They also discuss K2 unsung heroes, new signings, and Choi Yong-soo's longevity as FC Seoul manager.

All that and more in this edition of the K League United Podcast.

After a huge week in J1 both on and off the pitch, Dan Orlowitz and Scott McIntyre return with star guest turns.

In Part 1 (to 13:30) Dan fills us in on the latest (at the time of recording on Monday night) at Nagoya Grampus, whose Matchday 7 fixture away at Hiroshima was postponed after two more players and a member of staff tested positive for COVID-19. This story remains fluid, and Nagoya's Matchday 8 fixture remains in doubt - be sure to follow Dan on Twitter for updates.

Then Scott joins us to discuss leaders Kawasaki after they notched two come from behind victories in the past week, and we wonder if second-placed Gamba Osaka, who zipped up the table after an impressive week of their own, will offer Frontale a sterner test when the top two clash this coming Saturday. From there we move on to FC Tokyo and Cerezo Osaka after their pair of draws, before we stretch our leg(s) (at 52:47) and finish with a flourish, chatting about Matchday 7 wins for Urawa, Kashiwa, Sapporo and Shimizu.

This week, the boys return to talking around in circles. We discuss the Newcastle game, cover off some NPL and NPLW and preview the City game. Just a good, old fashioned, gorgeous football chat.
