Box2Box - Asian Cup & AFCON Previews, with Steve Price & Rob Stevens

This week on the Stoppage Time Agenda with Derek, Edge &amp; Rob, the guys look back on key football moments of 2023 and ahead to what they think will define 2024. 2023 saw some of the highest of highs and lowest of lows with the Women's World Cup delivering both. On the pitch the Matildas thrilled Australia, while off it Spanish administrators tarnished the spectacular triumph of La Roja. Violence in the game amongst players, spectators and - in a bizarre moment - a football club President exposed footballs sinister underbelly, but hope springs eternal and came in the form of renewal with the Socceroos and Graham Arnold capping a new generation of men's talent. 2024 will deliver its own story but as the lads gazed into their crystal ball, they saw more disruption in Europe with the Super League back on the agenda and the rise of the Matildas continuing amid expectations that the podium at the Paris Olympics is a realistic goal.    Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/Box2BoxNTS?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (https://twitter.com/Box2BoxNTS?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) Enjoy our written content: https://www.box2boxnts.com.au/ (https://www.box2boxnts.com.au/)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stoppage Time - Remembering 2023 & predictions for 2024

First up, we reflect on the A-Leagues so far and what we might see into 2024: a third of the way through the men’s and nearly half way through the women’s, both of last year’s Premiers are off the pace and the finals aspirants are taking shape with half of last season’s finalists currently in play off contention – crowds are generally up – with a few aberrations, so a perfect time to reflect on the state of the game. Rob and Edge discuss it all with Simon Hill from Ten/Paramount +. Meanwhile in a country where football is rarely less than in rude health Derek &amp; Rob have a chat with Martin Tyler about how he thinks this helter skelter season will shape out and what his thoughts are on the rise and rise of the WSL.  The guys end looking at Manchester City's dominant win over Fluminense in the World Club Championship.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stoppage Time - MVFC prevail in the Big Blue Man City stumble & Hearts make history

The countdown to the Paris Olympics is on and off the back of the success of the Women’s World Cup this year, expectations are high. Just a little pressure on Tony Gustavsson, first to qualify then is it fair to say that after a fourth place finish against the best the world has to offer, that nothing less than a podium finish could be considered a success? Edge and Rob chat with former ABC Journalist and host of the about to be launched Sports Ambassador Podcast Tracey Holmes. Then, could it get any worse for the one time kings of the football world. In the ten years since Sir Alex Ferguson retired – including caretakers the Red Devils have had eight managers and appear to be on the brink of going to market for their ninth.

Stoppage Time -  Managing Sam Kerr's longevity, The Mariners bounce back and Macarthur on top in the ALM

The J League has long been the leading men’s competition in Asia and in recent years has been the breeding ground for not only some of our leading national players, but also our coaching top ranks. Of course Ange Postecoglou is head of the class but not far back is Kevin Muscat with a Premiership and second place in the last two seasons – will Harry Kewell be the next manager to polish his craft in the land of the rising sun? Rob and Edge discuss it all with our mate from The Asian Game Scott McIntyre. Then, after falling just short of an unexpected title in last seasons English top flight, the Gunners are mounting a proper case this season with Mikel Arteta’s men one point from top in the Premier League and top of their group in the Champions League with both titles looking open. Was the weekend a stumble against a legitimate Villa side or are the Gunners still a player or two short of a premiership winning side?

Stoppage Time - Liverpool set Anfield alight, the Tractor Boys motoring & that Euro draw!

With the announcement of big hitting new owners for the 2025 Auckland A League franchise, the incumbent Wellington has picked exactly the right moment to flex their muscle with an uneaten start to the new A League Men’s season under rookie coach Giancarlo Italiano. The man who is across every nuance of football in the land of the long white cloud is our mate from Sky Sports New Zealand Jason Pine so we get his thoughts on how the Nix have managed to silence the doubters and what we can expect of the new Auckland franchise. They have been quietly building a resume and sneaking up the EPL ladder in a way no one would ever suggest was Liverpool’s style - but with Spurs stealing the early season headlines, Man City always there, the Gunners backing up last season with a proper start and the likes of Villa among others making noise, Jurgen Klopp has been reshaping a generational squad - Rob and Derek talk to James Pearce from The Athletic about what the talk is like around Anfield and if he thinks they are a serious chance of going all the way.

Teams in focus - in the Bundesliga, Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen continue to frustrate Bayern - by winning, Hertha Berlin are a basket case and while the Matilda's head to Canada with confidence, there's also the will he won't he leave spectre hanging over them with Tony Gustavsson reported to be in talks to return to Sweden.

After exploding out of the blocks with ten goals in an undefeated start to the season after three rounds, Adelaide United came back to earth in round four against Sydney FC but bounced back in a tricky assignment against Western United in Ballarat. Rob and Edge chat with Carl Veart to get a sense of the vibe in the camp.

Stoppage Time - The National Second Tier, Germany humbled against Turkey and San Marino prove that winning isn't everything

When we began back in 2015, the first topic of discussion was a second division and the journey towards promotion and relegation - so like everyone else in football in this country, it’s as much with relief as any other emotion that Football Australia has announced the founding clubs for the inaugural National Second Tier - Rob Gilbert and Michael Edgley are joined by Chairman of South Melbourne Bill Papastergiadis to get a sense of his clubs reaction and what the next steps around planning look like. Then the ripple effects of the Everton points deduction are vast - is this a power move by the Premier League against a financially stricken club – a canary in the coal mine before they go after the big dogs? To find out how it came to this and what it means for other clubs – specifically Manchester City and Chelsea we get the thoughts of Paul Joyce from The Times to dissect the story and what it means with Rob and Derek Dyson.
