It's a bumper edition of TNC, with Joey, D'Urbano, Teo, and Josh joined by Taryn Heddo to discuss a big week in Australian football.

The Young Matildas got a win over Costa Rica at the U20 Women's World Cup but then got handily defeated by Brazil. What did we learn? Why are all the players from NPLW NSW? Do we have the cattle? (yes). Sam Kerr is nominated for the Ballon d'Or for the fourth time, can she overcome the anti-English football politics of the award to win it? (maybe).

Then, Taryn jumps off as the boys run their eyes over all of the Australia Cup results, break down the closing weeks of the NPL seasons around the country, and discuss the latest rumours around the National Second Division. Are teams walking away from Football Australia and talks collapsing? (No, not really).

There's also a bit of Manly United discussion, talk about Sydney FC's recruitment, overseas Socceroos and tips for the week ahead.

It's a bumper show -- free from those that write for the Sydney papers!
