Melbourne Victory Director of Football & Author John Didulica joins George & Josh to discuss his new book, 'Football Belongs: Eight Matches That Explain Australia'.
A jam-packed lineup for George and Josh on this week's State of Our Football Nation, as they're joined by: - Melbourne Victory Director of Football & Author John Didulica to discuss his new book, 'Football Belongs: Eight Matches That Explain Australia'. - South Melbourne President Nick Maikousis to preview his club's Friday night FFA Cup blockbuster against Melbourne City. - Football Australia's Head of Women's Football Sarah Walsh to shed some light on the new National Indigenous Advisory Group, and how it aims to address the historic paucity of Indigenous talent at the elite level.
Rob Gilbert and Willem van Denderen are joined by former Socceroos skipper Paul Wade in the aftermath of Australia's goalless draw with Saudi Arabia to mull the fallout of a frustrating night at the office. John Didulica discusses the release of his new book 'Football Belongs', an adaptation of Optus Sport's highly successful podcast series of the same name, which has recently been nominated for two awards. The Athletic's Kieran Devlin returns to the show after Ange Postecoglou was awarded Scottish League manager of the month. With some scintillating football closing the gap on a now manager-less Rangers, the gears of the Postecoglou machine are well and truly turning. Michael Edgley and Derek Dyson cover off on the big issues of the week including the attack on PSG's Kheira Hamraoui, Europe's managerial sacking season, and crunch time in Africa's World Cup qualifiers.

But, it is not without its catches.Gone are handshakes, high fives, oranges at halftime and the familiar chanting wall of parents that populate the member’s end of every suburban park.
