Today I tuned into ABC's Radio Australia online broadcast and caught World Football Weekly, a football-dedicated program which I had not heard before. It is hosted by members of the Four Diegos team. Football fans who tune into Melbourne's SEN 1116 radio station will most likely be familiar with the content and style of the Four Diegos. World Football Weekly, however, seems to go beyond Europe and complement Radio Australia's Asia-Pacific focus, offering a refreshing look at aspects of football in Asia and Oceania.
Amongst other topical issues of world football, in today's episode the team spoke about Tahiti's qualification for the upcoming U/20 World Cup in Egypt, and chatted to Thailand assistant coach Steve Darby in what was a fascinating insight into managing a national football team in Southeast Asia. Darby, who admitted to enjoying Tasmania as a holiday destination, amusingly said that the inclusion of a team from Tasmania in the A-League would make him swim across Bass Strait to get involved.

Thursday - 1030
