Round Three: Make or Break Time

Join hosts Nick Pagano and Adrian Arciuli as they dive into all the excitement and major talking points from Round three of the Australian Championship, joined by special guests Luca Falcone, head coach of NWS Spirit, and Paolo Gallo, former coach at the AC Milan Academy and currently at Hakoah FC. Now at the group stage’s half way point, the panel reflects on how the competition is shaping up, and look at the reasons behind the surprising successes of non-foundational clubs like Heidelberg United and NWS Spirit. They dive into why a NSW-based club is yet to beat a team from Victoria and just how a 17-year old kid was able to steal the weekend headlines. The all-Italian panel also discussed how Italy has influenced Australian football, reminise on legends like Del Piero and Vieri and much more! With insightful analysis, stories of Italian heritage, and the much-loved SBS Moment of the Week, this episode captures the energy, character, and emotion that define the new era of Australian football.
