That’s my why”: When two civil war stories meet – and lead to the A-Leagues.
Loved catching up with Macarthur’s Ariath Piol to hear his story & how he got here.
There’s one constant source of motivation for a 20yo, who did have his doubts whether he’d make it.

This week I looked at the numbers behind the talented 19-year-old Adelaide United defender. They're very impressive.
Clearly benefiting from playing alongside Bart Vriends, too.

What a journey for Junior Santos after winning Copa Libertadores.
At 23, left his job as bricklayer for pro football career because of prophecy at church. Initially played 4th tier of 🇧🇷 football.
In 2020 was Yokohama F.Marinos’ joint leading scorer under Postecoglou.
Now 30yo’s a Copa champ 🙌

Auckland FC 😤
Just 2nd team in Australian national men’s league history to win their first 5 games after Sydney's Western Suburbs in 1977.
Auckland also set record for longest time before conceding first ever goal, breaking Western Suburbs' 47-year-old record.
