About this listen

Dave Davutovic is a leading football commentator in Australia, and here, shares his insights into the pathway from here, this water bound continent, to play Football with the rest of the world. The conversation looks at how Soccer treated Indigenous Australians at the time of the White Australia policy, and how men's and women's soccer has attracted different players, according to the cultural pressures within each gender at the time. Boys play Football, Girls make pasta was once the way families worked, and our Football teams reflected that by name. But now it is changing, as gender roles have changed within the cultural mix. And the pathway to superstardom overseas is no less tinged by gender as well. Join Dave and The Keepers Mum for the inside story on how to make it, and who's trying to fleece you for money in the process!
