On episode 168 I am delighted to be joined by former international and professional footballer Julie-Ann Russell. A talented all around athlete she recently retired from football at club and international level, however has refused to sit still and has returned to play basketball and Gaelic football with Moycullen (plus running a marathon and probably a Hyrox down the line). Julie-Ann returned to the national team a year on from having her daughter Rosie reuniting with her former coach Eileen Gleeson, grabbing national attention with her goals vs England & France. On top of all of what she has achieved in sport she has built a successful corporate career with Microsoft including a stint in Australia while also playing football at a professional level. We discuss balancing a career in sport, identity as an athlete, becoming a mother and returning to play sport, perspective and awareness as a footballer, the ingredients for success on and off the pitch, and so much more. This is an honest and insightful account of what it takes to become an elite athlete for players, coaches and parents. A legend on and off the pitch, I loved this chat with Julie-Ann.  It's easy to see why she has found so much success.

(5:11) England's big chance to win their first trophy since 1966, and the pressure is on Southgate and the players.

(2:04:06) The defending champions, Italy, are coming in under the radar. But this could truly help them. (2:52:14)

A look at the Toronto Arrows record MLR defeat to the New England Free Jacks in only their second home game, and a reflection on how the fan experience left a lot to be desired irrespective of the actual rugby being played. A look at Round 3 of the Women's Six Nations and the ever widening gap between England/France and everyone else. There's also a celebration of Moana Pasifika's first home game in Samoa irrespective of the scoreline and how important and exciting the Pacific Island component is becoming to Super Rugby's new format with the departure of South Africa and Argentina from the competition. We also marvel at Leinster's seemingly endless depth and applaud the idea being trialled this summer by World Rugby in the U20s Championship of a "TMO bunker".

Greatness requires self-improvement and a whole lot of striving!'The Autobiography' by Benjamin Franklin are reflections on his life plus notable letters/publications he made. It roughly follows him from childhood to his business dealings in Philadelphia and work as a diplomat in England/France. It's not standard as he skips large events (like America gaining independence) but does give insights into his various professions, philosophy, science, war and money making ventures.I summarised the book as follows. "It's self aggrandising but shows who he was, which is a rascal/funny/kind/industrious/entrepreneurial man. What he achieved was amazing but how he did it is much more impressive. Easily is in my top 10 people to emulate and if you want to learn to be a better person it's hard to look elsewhere."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

This week on 5ASIDE, we recap the Round of 16 of the World Cup and give you our predictions for the upcoming Quarterfinals!

Headlined by the game of tournament between Argentina and Netherlands, the Quarter-finals have not disappointed. The results on the other hand, have seen World Cup favorites Brazil eliminated on PK's by Croatia. Argentina overcomes a huge momentum shift by the Netherlands who crawled back from a late 2-0 deficit only to fall in PK's. The boys look ahead to Saturday's matches between Morocco/Portugal and England/France. Everyone will keep an eye on whether Cristiano Ronaldo starts but is Portugal a better team when he comes off the bench? There are too many stars in England/France for there not be goals, but sportsbooks don't see it that way. What to look for and how to bet on Saturday's matches.

Jason Longshore and Jessica Charman discuss the World Cup quarterfinals on this episode of Atlanta Soccer Tonight. How will Argentina-Netherlands play out, what can Croatia do to slow down Brazil, does Portugal stick with the hot hand in Goncalo Ramos, and will there be any defense in the England-France match?

The twelfth and thirteenth centuries were a time when the close friendship or petty feuding between monarchs could determine the course of history. The Capetians of France and the Angevins of England waged war, made peace, and intermarried. The lands under English control once reached to within a few miles of Paris, and those ruled by the French, at their peak, crossed the Channel and encompassed London itself. Influential women of the two royal families - including Eleanor of Aquitaine and Blanche of Castille - helped create the familial bonds that shaped the fate of the two countries.In this episode of Gone Medieval, Matt Lewis talks with Dr. Catherine Hanley to trace the great clashes and occasional friendships of two intertwined dynasties that shaped the present and the future of England and France.The Senior Producer on this episode was Elena Guthrie, the Producer is Rob Weinberg.

Bernard Jackman and Gavan Casey are joined by Garry Doyle to look ahead to the Six Nations through the lens of the November Tests just gone, with a particular focus on reigning champions Wales, world-champion-conquering England, the frighteningly stable France and, of course, Ireland. Bernard also looks back on the Ireland women's team's November, and gives his thoughts on how incoming head coach Greg McWiliams will approach his first Six Nations campaign. Plus, with the URC back this weekend, the lads preview Leinster-Ulster and Connacht's potentially make-or-break clash with Ospreys, while Berch has a strong opinion as to who should replace Stephen Larkham at Munster.

Elma, Emily and James assess the rivalry between the Red Roses and France in the company of French podcaster Veronique Landew. Why have England been so superior over the last two years, how big is the battle between the two, and how is the head to head viewed on the other side of the channel? The foursome also reflect on England's thrashing of Italy, Emily's first try of the Six Nations, and more generally discuss pathways for young girls to get unto rugby and what needs to change to make the game more accessible. 

Paddy From Providence - 0:35 Hey boys, Patty from Providence. Hey was scrolling through the old Instagram the other day and right between Hannah Palmer and Jenna Frumes. You know who I'm talking about. So I saw a little post about the Hartford Harpooners. Look, Providence and Harford have a have a long standing rivalry as "New England's Second City", but I'd love to see some some more local rugby. Have you seeing any other random teams popping up here and there? I hope you had a good Thanksgiving and happy holidays. Talk to you soon. Who are the Hartford Harpooners? It appears (as of now), that they're simply a single player signing, a confirmed home stadium, and that's about it. *Update* - Since recording, The Hartford Harpooners have signed their SECOND player, High Performance Management founder (and player journeyman) Matt Hughston. Matt has a distinguished player career, Captaining the USA South Panthers in addition to earning caps from the Ohio Aviators, Nola Gold, Rugby United New York and Old Glory DC. If the signings keep coming, there might be something here in Hahhhhtfaaaahd. Many more players (most hailing from the Fairfield Yankees) have been signed over the past two weeks. Very excited about what the Hartford have coming in the future. They best thing they can do right now is provide as much meaningful game time as possible. Helping young players build a high light reel, and allowing them to gain more exposure against MLR academies will catapult their growth as rugby players. Cheers to the Harpooners, excited for what's to come in 2021! Paddy from Providence (again) - 4:15 Hey boys, Paddy, calling from Providence again. Sorry, I forgot to mention this on my last call last weekend was trying to watch the Ireland - Scotland Autumn Nations league, and then the England - France game and and couldn't find it anywhere. I think it's on something called flow rugby or some nonsense like that, which I don't have access to. So anyway ended up watching the Maori all black by the Moana Pasifika great match, little messy rugby, but overall a lot of passion that game and I love the hackers. So, uh, just wondering if there's any way we could watch some quality International Rugby and not sure if we can, but would love some tips on that. Thanks, and again happy holiday. Hope you have a good New Year. If you want Autumn nations (which quite frankly was insanely underwhelming this year), you gotta sign up for FloRugby and pay a monthly fee. Or you can be a leech and snag a username and password. We suggest the latter. Johnny's tip for Paddy: search YouTube for the game you're looking for 10-14 hours after the game is aired, find a pirated replay and watch it before it's taken down. Moana Pasifika vs. The Maori game was passionate and will be something that NZRU focus more on in the years to come. Who doesn't like dueling tribal war dances? Not to mention the filthy offloads and exciting brand of rugby.
