It's officially official! Milos Ninkovic is a Western Sydney Wanderer! Is this the biggest betrayal in A-Liga history? What sort of sugar hit does this give the league? What does this actual mean from a footballing perspective? Nick Stoll, Nick D'Urbano, and Joey Lynch are hear to break it down. 

Then, they're joined by Taryn Heddo to break down the Matildas recent friendlies. In the end, can we take anything from the games against Spain and Portugal? Is Tony Gustavsson doing a good job? Should we stick with him heading into the 2023 World Cup? The panel is split. 

Then, there's a lot of love for the A-League Women's move to expand before Taryn jumps off and the boys break down the rumour of Nani coming to Melbourne Victory -- shout out to the Gattman -- and how he may actually fit in Tony Popovic's team. 

There's plenty of nonsense to keep you entertaining in this two hour and ten minute "espresso" edition of the pod, as well as a look at how the A-Liga Men's can continue to be a more welcoming place for LGBTQIA+ people.

Let me tell you something, Mean Gene!

With Nick Stoll and Josh Parish unavailable and Nick D'Urbano running fashionably late, it fell on the TNC Megapowers - Ante Jukic and Joey Lynch - to carry the opening hour of this week's show, with the duo casting their eyes upon the Socceroos mammoth looming encounter with Peru. How will the Socceroos setup? How should they? How will La Blanquirroja go about things? And how does this game fit into the broader state of Australian football?

Then, when D'Urbano joins the fray, the boys break down the form of Gianluca 'literally Cristian Volpato' Lapadula, the ongoing talk of "Aussie DNA" emerging from the Socceroos camp, the Olyroos form at the AFC U23 Championships, and look at some of the biggest signings in the A-Liga Mens. Is Brandon O'Neill a good fit at Newcastle? What about Kosta Barbarouses at Wellington? Stefan Colakovski at Perth?

All that and more.
