Hello, welcome to the A League series. We're today Australian New Zealand competition. All each week I will share both the Azuki UTE, the sponsor from the men's Ain League, and we got the also the woman's Ninja A-League woman's competition, which we'll share that very, very soon. So sit back with that, let's get on with the show. So if you're new, make sure you subscribe and you like soccer. Or generally there will be international football soccer. So for Australia only, I will I'm happy to share a little bit international, but that's on Aiden's point of view. I will be doing my best to mainly to do with international football, what's happening with you know what's the update of that. So what's up with all? Hope you're well, and much as I would love to get this YouTube to a thousand subscribers as quick as possible. So so the competition of A League, known as Azuki UTE, A-League men's, have started their season already with a season a total of it's a very long season of 26 rounds up to April next year. So it is a very long season, and I want to give you a bit of a little bit of update. So we start back on the 17th of October 2025. So A United starting off against Sydney FC and then wasn't roar against the newest. Well, I think I still call them the newest team, is Masha Han Ball. So they are a brand new team in the A League competition. It's better, is there's 12 teams in the competition. Week in week out. I will do my best to share the ladder. It's where I care from 12 to 1st. So first up, I will give you all the updates as well. So first up, I will share the results. Now I will give you the previews and the results in this first two games, and then we'll get into the really the previews of these other games. Games are not yet complete since I recorded on the 18th of the 10th, 2025. So I do apologise this delay. So I originally did going for the LA United, and it's caused in Brisbane pretty high that I couldn't gone past Brisbane War, you know, because they're both at home and all that. But normally I actually will go for the other team. But 2-1-2 to the LA United and Brisbane War was 1-0. So well done for that. We'll continue on to week one of round one. So you're where you can find all these gains and actions, PowerMart Plus, which is a streaming, and as well, you're streaming around Australia and New Zealand, or mainly in Australia, Shadow 10 and 10 drama, which is Australia. Well, you can also check the 8. You can check the 8 league as well. So from the 18th of October and the 19th, I'm gonna share first. It's the Saturday, the 18th of October. We got three games to share and a mother one on the Sunday. So the first game up, it is the Western Sydney Warriors, the first out of the second hour team I'm gonna share. They take on the Melbourne City team. We'll get that information in just a moment. Melbourne FC City. So Melbourne City is FC, if that makes more sense for those who do listen to the A-league. So the second game, it is the other Melbourne team called Melbourne Victory. They will be going and playing against Auckland, which will be the newest team. And then on the Sunday, it's her glory take on Wellington Phoenix. So first game in Sydney, pretty hard choice. I'm going to go in with Melbourne City. I think they look pretty good. It won't be easy. They've struggled a little bit, Sydney boys, but I think they'll do well. And the second one, well, one of the best teams will actually favour this, but you can't go past Melbourne victory, one of the best teams in the A-League. I am going to go a pretty upset here. And I'm going to stay safe with Melbourne City. Is that Amy Park? Anything can happen. Draw, loss, or win, it really doesn't matter. But we do come to this one Perth versus Wellington that come over for New Zealand to Perth. And this is what good thing about it. We got two New Zealand teams, Auckland and Wellington. The two cities in New Zealand come together and play like the two Melbourne teens, two Sydney teens. Hopefully we will have more of that in the future. But right now, we and then we have like, you know, etc. So we do have Perth, Glory, and Wellington Phoenix and Perth. Go for Perth. Easy done. There you have it. And then we got, I do apologize, we do have one more game. That was the Saturday game. So that was the three games on the Saturday. On the Sunday, it is Central Coast Meredist then taking on Newcastle World Jets. And Newcastle is also in the Europe League. So as well, Newcastle is very common in soccer. But Central Coast, I think, takes the win. It is, I'm not too sure, Central Coast. That's a Queensland. And then, well, obviously, Newcastle is in New South Wales. It's an area in Sydney. So there you have it. The teens I'm going for is Melbourne City, Melbourne Victory, Perfect Glory, Central Coast Mallitus over Newcastle Jets. And then Adelaide and Brisbane within two results, two apologizers. There you have it. What do you think? Now I'm going to just let you all know that the Ninja A-League Women's Comp does not start till the 31st of October. So what I'm going to be doing course of June 2, I'm going to do my best and get this out before the timer go away. We'll stay tuned for that because how amazing the opportunity to go on this lovely cruise ship. But I will explain that at a different time and what to, you know, what might be looking forward to and going to a different state I've never been to in Australia, which is very, very rendered. If it is, I'll let you all know here on the podcast. But thank you so much for listening. Much appreciated. Yep, like I said at the very beginning, I really love you too if you can subscribe down below as well. Like if you love soccer generally, there will be an international episode coming out where I can share international football as we call it, or soccer if as well. So thank you so much. Thanks for listening. Be Josh Ozo. Bye for now.
