The Howie Games

It was our biggest sporting story of 2023. The Matildas conquered the hearts of a nation. They captured the attention of most of the globe. 

And for the first time, the humble and hard working Steph Catley - who was the stand in skipper when we needed her most - recalls the moments of the Matildas memorable World Cup on home soil. 

From the moment she messaged her mum a selfie of her in her Matildas jersey, to pumping her chest after hitting the back of the net in a World Cup in her home city. 

This really is what dreams are made of. It's goosebumps central in episode 200 of the Howie Games.

Steph and her team mates captured the hearts and minds of an entire nation in 2023. And now, the Aussie superstar with a lightning left boot, captures us again with her Player Profile. 

There's spaghetti bolognese, Gordan Ramsey, Fleetwood Mac, selling shoes, singing, some classic tv and quite a substantial sport podcast recommendation. Plus, plenty of other greatness.  

The beauty of it all, this is just the warm-up. So, brace yourselves for the main event – a two part, in depth look at Steph's journey as well as a deep dive deep into the world of the Matildas, including a behind the scenes look at the World Cup achievements.

He is the wordsmith wizard who wields his pen like a cricket bat. His love for the game is as strong as a Steve Smith cover drive, but Bharat Sundaresan is not just a journalist; he's the literary leg-spinner who bowls you over with his wit and wisdom, making the world of cricket a tad quirkier and a whole lot more entertaining.

Now, if that isn't a description that Bharat would be proud of, i don't know what is!

He is unique. He is beautiful and his story is stunning and his Player Profile is just as good!
