    Box2Box - Auckland FC’s Sam Cosgrove on A-League Men’s Premiership race, Andy Newport on Hearts’ nervy pursuit of breakthrough Scottish title
    Apr 6 2026

    Box2Box with Michael Edgley & Willem van Denderen!
    After months of jostling, Auckland sit three points shy of Newcastle in their pursuit of a second A-League Premiership plate with three to play. English import Sam Cosgrove has played a key hand for the NZ side, his 10 goals leading the Golden Boot to this point - he joins us for the first time.
    In Scotland, Hearts’ lead in pursuit of their first Scottish league title since 1959/60 has started to creak with Rangers just a point in arrears. The Daily Record’s Andy Newport returns with it all on the line, and with an eye to Scotland’s return to the World Cup in the summer.
    Also on the agenda: Italy miss the World Cup again but Arnie’s Iraq triumph, Socceroos warm-up matches struggle to attract big numbers & plenty more!

    Box2Box - Craig Moore as Socceroos squad sharpens, Adriano Del Monte ahead of Italy’s do-or-die World Cup qualifier
    Mar 30 2026

    Box2Box with Rob Gilbert, Michael Edgley & Willem van Denderen
    Tony Popovic has one further game to assess his squad before selecting his final 26 for the World Cup, with Australia to play Curucao in Melbourne on Tuesday. 53-cap Socceroo Craig Moore casts his eye over those his former teammate has at his disposal, with Lucas Herrington among those making a last-ditch run at the squad.
    Then to Italy, where the Azzurri on Wednesday face another decisive World Cup qualifier - this time against Bosnia-Herzegovina. The stakes are immeasurably high: win and they’ll exorcise the years of pain since their last World Cup; lose and that pain only compounds further. Adriano Del Monte (ESPN, beIN Sports et al.) returns with tension set to reach fever pitch.
    Also on the agenda: Ufuk Talay signs at Wanderers, Graham Arnold & Iraq on the verge of the truly special & plenty more!

  • Box2Box - Craig Foster as Matildas’ Asian Cup final history repeats, Cerys Jones on Sam Kerr’s Chelsea future

    Box2Box - Craig Foster as Matildas’ Asian Cup final history repeats, Cerys Jones on Sam Kerr’s Chelsea future
    Mar 23 2026

    The Matildas have fallen to Japan 1-0 in the final of the Women’s Asian Cup, remarkably for a third time. Former Socceroos captain Craig Foster returns to assess the success of the tournament - which broke all manner of records - and reckon with the legacy of a group that have achieved greatly, but still lack a crowning glory.
    Furthermore, with the Brazil 2027 Women’s World Cup coming into focus, attention turns to the direction of Joe Montemurro’s ageing squad. The Athletic’s Chelsea reporter Cerys Jones returns amid reports that Sam Kerr could be on the way out of the club where she’s won eleven titles.
    Also on the agenda: Senegal sensationally stripped of their AFCON title, Manchester City lift another League Cup, and the Socceroos’ away kit polarises.
