The Howie Games

It was our biggest sporting story of 2023. The Matildas conquered the hearts of a nation. They captured the attention of most of the globe.  And for the first time, the humble and hard working Steph Catley - who was the stand in skipper when we needed her most - recalls the moments of the Matildas memorable World Cup on home soil.  From the moment she messaged her mum a selfie of her in her Matildas jersey, to pumping her chest after hitting the back of the net in a World Cup in her home city.  This really is what dreams are made of. It's goosebumps central in episode 200 of the Howie Games.  *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steph and her team mates captured the hearts and minds of an entire nation in 2023. And now, the Aussie superstar with a lightning left boot, captures us again with her Player Profile.  There's spaghetti bolognese, Gordan Ramsey, Fleetwood Mac, selling shoes, singing, some classic tv and quite a substantial sport podcast recommendation. Plus, plenty of other greatness.   The beauty of it all, this is just the warm-up. So, brace yourselves for the main event – a two part, in depth look at Steph's journey as well as a deep dive deep into the world of the Matildas, including a behind the scenes look at the World Cup achievements. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
