“I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date.” – The White Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland.
Cutting it fine with this episode of the Beyond 90 Podcast W-League Round 9 wrap plus Fatty.
The downright amazing Fatima Flores joins Molly and Cheryl to talk about the Roar Corp, MadTildas, and Level Playing Field.
Fatty gives a big shout out to the Roar Corp gang, including uber-fan Harper McGowan.
No chance of stopping Fatty there so we roll onto our thoughts on the 20 player Matildas squad announcement for the Olympic Qualification series in Wuhan, China. Australia must finish first or second in Group B to advance to the final phase of qualification against Korea Republic (20), Vietnam (32) or Myanmar (44) in early March 2020.
