The Socceroos are back in action for the first time since the World Cup and it's a return to Queensland as they take on Brazil in Townsville and Brisbane. Adam and Scott join Alex from The Aussie…
Scott OwenGuestBrilliant.
Thank you very much, Adam.
And, of course, yourselves and Kurt will be gearing up towards the A-League season, which is not too far away, about five weeks away.
So make sure you check out the season previews that the gentlemen are doing, as well as the Queensland All-Stars taking on the Brisbane Raw, which is happening over the next couple of weekends as well.
So plenty of content there, along with...
this international series, which is also happening in Queensland for once in a blue moon.
So very exciting times here.
And I know, Adam, you've got a couple of points you want to make, but we'll park you just for now.
Two friendlies in Townsville on Friday, the 25th of September, and then on the following Tuesday here in Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium.
Scott, how excited are you?
This is absolutely fantastic to see the national team back here in Queensland for the first time in, well, let's say quite a while, but they were on the Gold Coast about two years ago now.
So we are seeing them a little bit more regularly, but having this series here in Queensland, in Townsville first, and then back down here in Brisbane, it's going to be absolutely sensational, these two games.
Of course, I'll help the Townsville later in the week, but Seeing the national team in Queensland is always a fantastic thing from our perspective, but there's just such a buzz about them at the moment after what they did at the World Cup to do what they did, how well they played, and the excitement people are getting around this young group of players.
Yeah, that's for sure.
And particularly the homecoming of our only Premier League player at the moment in the form of Lucas Harrington, of course, a Brisbane Raw alumni and probably one of our best defensive prospects in a very, very long time.
But Adam, I'll throw to you.
How are you feeling about this series?
Oh, look, it's the first time in a long time that I've actually been genuinely excited for a Socceroos friendly.
Like, again, you always want to see the national team do well, but there's a genuine vibe and interest in this because, look, it is Brazil.
Even though they may be a waning world power, depending on where you look at it, there's still brazil and there is a big brazilian community that i know absolutely amped up and ready to see that it's a it's a change of the guard somewhat after after what they would say was a failure uh in in north america but uh which we'll discuss later on but uh again genuinely i think the series especially up here in brisbane it's going to be great in townsville first time they're going to see international football as well in the heart of uh what is usually rugby league country So we'll see how it goes there.
And then it'll be a massive game on next Tuesday night, a big sellout or close to a sellout.
Brilliant.
