Studs Up is a podcast hosted by Auckland born and bred Riccardo Ball and Wellington’s loudest son Daniel McHardy. They’ll be going head-to-head on all the big football issues from the EPL, Champions League, the A Leagues and more.

This week the lads give their initial reaction fresh after the All Whites’ 1-1 draw with USA (0:18), how Max Crocombe has cemented himself as NZ’s first-choice goalkeeper and the competition in the squad (9:38), what’s next for the All Whites (12:52), other results in the international window including Netherlands’ draw with Germany (14:30), why Steven Bergwijn appears to be frozen out of the Dutch side (21:44), the Socceroos are lacking confidence in World Cup qualifiers and the knives are out for Graham Arnold already (29:30), the latest signings for the Wellington Phoenix and Auckland FC but where are the marquee names Bill Foley promised? (33:08), plus their best bets for the Betcha app (38:42).
