Boy, oh boy... what a week for the Wellington Phoenix. What a result for Auckland FC! The 6th kiwi derby became a routine dismantling of the Black & Yellow, with AFC claiming their sixth straight win in a 5 star performance in the capital. Shortly after full-time, Giancarlo Italiano stepped down from his role as Phoenix Head Coach. The Unused Subs talk about Chiefy's decision, and use it to analyze the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY of his stint as head coach.

Goran drove from Auckland to Wellington and back again to hang out with the Yellow Fever on gameday, and thanks to the efforts of Ethan Fransen and friends we were able to mic a few of them up and hear their genuine reactions to the game... and the goals... in a Behind The Scenes EXCLUSIVE! Don't worry, it's family friendly. For the most part!

The Subs also chat about Josh Oluwayemi's SHOCKING own goal... what in the WORLD was he thinking?! And an old favourite is BACK in the saddle! It's Chris Greenacre's 4th run as a Nix head coach, we wonder whether he deserves the job on a permanent basis, and if PAUL IFILL will finally answer the calls of the fans and step into a role to support him?

And does Spoon want a goalkeeper coach role?

Spain has defeated Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final to become WORLD CHAMPIONS for the second time! On the surface, a solitary goal in extra time doesn't sound overly impressive or convincing, but dig a little deeper and you will see that this was not only a one-sided finale, but one of the most dominant World Cup campaigns, ever.

England has been defeated by Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Semifinals. And of course, the finger of blame is pointing directly at England's manager Thomas Tuchel. Were his defensive tactics in the final half hour of the clash 'cowardly' as has been reported in the UK media since the 2-1 loss?
