Matildas - AFC Womens Asian Cup

[Ironbark]

Nail biter, that was a close one. We just got across the line but deserved to win on balance. Luck played it's part and it could have gone either way, but they held on and got the 3 points

staj has a stack of US based phillipinoes . it looks like he has size and power .
i hope someone is paying attention .

 

[true believer]

fmd offside goal was high quality . the phillopinoes are a real issue .the staj is laying down a marker

 

[true believer]

Staj to become a national pariah when he sacrifices a player to two foot Kerr 2 mins in.

i reckon the thai will be lucky to get out of this .

For podcast fans I gave my thoughts on the Asian Cup (and ALW) here https://www.bgn.fm/looking-ahead-down-under/

As alot of people are saying, what an absolute cluster of a team selection. Full strength against a team you could afford to get some young players some valuable game time. I'm sure there's some young players too, that once selected and played, will challenge the establishment. But then that's been this Matildas sides thing, don't rock the establishment. Seems like they've found a coach that will just tow the team line.

They gave lots of kids game time against USA and Brazil

 

[BrisRecky]

Well, if nothing else @scottmac , our for and against is officially outstanding for the group now

If only the Matildas had a period in a game recently where they were so fa in front they could have practiced sitting back and passing it out, so they could have opened up the philos lines...

Just watching a set piece and I reckon Ellie Carpenter is selling blue head bands in the tunnel before the game ?

Staj has a rare ability to make shit teams harder to beat - perfect replacement for Arnie. Shame they never will though

He will get them to the WC in Australia next year which will be a mammoth achievement.

Pity the Arab teams shun women’s football or he could cash in on petro dollars.

What woman in her right mind would opt to go over there and play? You'll probably be ok but if you aren't things can go very badly.

Edit - I mean in terms of strengthening their domestic leagues and raising up womens game up. Obviously the locals don’t have as much choice which is what you’re talking about.

Yallop out with Covid. Everyone else negative so far.

Supposedly the accommodation is pretty sub standard.
