What emotional moments stood out from the weekend of sport?

Gerard Whateley 0:00
Snap Judgements is where we start every Monday, what you feel most emotionally out of that weekend of sport. Carl is in Camberwell. Welcome, Carl. Hi, Gerard. How are you? I'm good, thank you.
Steve Dimopoulos 0:12
That's good. That's good. What a weekend of sport. What a weekend of sport. The Knicks and then the soccer like yesterday. Just amazing. Just an amazing weekend.
Gerard Whateley 0:23
Yes, I was trying to think of the perfect combination of fans, so... A St Kilda supporting Knicks fan with a Socceroos shirt in the drawer was sort of where I landed. What did you think of the Knicks?
Steve Dimopoulos 0:36
Oh, the Knicks were amazing. I mean, Brunson was just incredible. As you probably remember, I'm a vintage collector. And of course, I immediately got online and started looking for modern cuts of Brunson. But no, it was an amazing performance by them. I mean, to come back in basically every game, But then for an hour or two later to stay there and watch the Socceroos do their thing was just incredible. Just a great day.
Gerard Whateley 1:05
Good on you, Carl. Thanks for sharing it with us. Fred's in Caulfield. Welcome, Fred.
Joey Wheeler 1:09
G'day, Gerard. I don't think I've ever called you for soccer. I was actually hoping Jarvis would call. I was curious to see if you had anything to say about the Socceroos. No, it was just, it was awesome, Gerard. Just jumping up at the Ross Town, hanging off the roof, hugging locals, people singing the waltz in Matilda.

How did Carl react to the Knicks and Socceroos games?

Joey Wheeler 1:26
It's the best thing about sport and especially the World Cup. It just transcends everything and just brings everyone together. And it was just awesome. The courage as well to play Paddy Beach, a 22-year-old over Matty Ryan, 38, full World Cup captain. And then for him to stand up like that in the game. I mean, you can hear my voice. I haven't stopped shouting. It's been awesome.
Gerard Whateley 1:46
That's beautiful, Fred. Good on you. Thanks for sharing it with us. Makes you want to go to Rebel and get your Aaron Cunder shirt by Saturday morning, doesn't it? Susan Mernda. Hello, Sue.
岩永奈々美 1:56
Yes, hello, Gerard. Well, the weekend started with us Collingwood supporters saying, what on earth are we going to do for entertainment? Yesterday afternoon, early, our grandsons watched the New York Knicks win and were yelling for a New York team. Then we decided to take it easy and see how the Socceroos went. Well, of course, that rounded the afternoon off brilliantly. And then when they were interviewing some of the Socceroos, we realised that half of them were either young refugees themselves or their parents were refugees. And how we are following a team that is so different to any other sporting team that we have. And they're all just Socceroos, and they come from Uganda and Burundi. We can't even pronounce them.
岩永奈々美 2:50
Thank you. That's that one. And that isn't brought into question at all. And they run out in those beautiful yellow jumpers. And it's just the Socceroos. We don't know how far they're going to go. But I tell you what, this will be a memory that will be also a legacy for any 10, 11, 12, 13-year-old boy or girl that may not be good enough to play AFL footy, but they know they can't turn their back on soccer.
Gerard Whateley 3:20
The picture of the country is contained in that team, Sue, and that's what makes World Cups so powerful. And we are in it right from the start.

What insights did Fred share about the Socceroos' performance?

Gerard Whateley 3:29
How thrilling. Michael's in Camberwell. Michael, welcome.
Can you hear me, Gerard? Yeah, I got you. You and the lady before summed it up perfectly. I was in Germany to watch the Socceroos versus Japan, but I had goosebumps tenfold yesterday watching the game with the family. And I just don't know a feeling when Australia's as united when the Socceroos are playing. Maybe the Olympics? I don't know. But as I was looking at the boys playing, you know, the stories of each of them, There's so much richness there in the fabric of Australia and who we are and the generation that's there. I must admit, listening to the Turks and the Americans made me pretty mad coming into the game and pretty motivated for the game against the US. But it was an unbelievable watch.
I'm still on a high.
Gerard Whateley 4:27
Yes, well, we all should be, Michael. It was so weird, the build-up to it.
