The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ is just a matter of weeks away, so as we approach Australia's first group game against France, we'll be catching up with some of the Subway Socceroos boys as they get ready to Give it 100 on the world stage once again.
Check out Episode #1 of our brand new Countdown to Qatar Podcast, where hosts Chris Curulli and Aleksandar Jason are joined by fullback Aziz Behich.
Aziz shares how life in Scotland is treating him, after scoring back-to-back goals for Dundee United (his first club goals in almost five years!), and tells some funny stories behind his close friendship with Martin Boyle.
He also chats with the boys about some of the cool connections he has made at club level, before looking back on his years of experience with the Socceroos and ahead to the upcoming action in Qatar.
You can listen to and download the show from Socceroos.com.au/podcast, as well as everywhere you get your podcasts!
