David Davutovic and John Didulica are joined by Socceroos legend John Aloisi and Australian public policy academic and author Andrew Wear to continue the conversation on multiculturalism. In this episode, the focus is on one particular game: that epic 2006 FIFA World Cup match between Australia and Croatia.


HEAR:

  • The dilemma a large contingent of Croatian-Australians faced
  • How one match showed the power a sporting moment can have on an entire country
  • A precious family connection for John Didulica and his brother's incredible gesture for their grandfather

and

  • John Aloisi's candid recollection about a moment from that day, that very few know about - which counts as one of his great memories of the campaign
