Australian Women’s National Team Thread - Our best chance at a World Cup

I’d leave a shit tonne of extra time for all the peeps lucky enough to get to the match. Don’t want to miss any of the game due to ticket malarkey

The tickets “activating via Bluetooth when you get to the stadium” has more faith in Australian infrastructure than it should.

Yep, but you can’t take a screen shot to back up in case the app shits itself… gulp.

If you have a look at some of the lower ranked teams you’ll find heaps of players who are at semi or non pro clubs.

SQUAD NOTE: Sam Kerr is unavailable tonight after she picked up a calf injury at training on MD-1. Sam will be unavailable for the next two matches with the Matildas Medical Team to re-assess her following our second group stage match.

We going specific match game threads like we did with the last World Cup though?

Edit: match thread here Group B: Australia vs Ireland 20 July 2023 - #2 by testament

Does this give Fowler a chance to take over and dominate the game?

Bloody hell, they wheeled out David Basheer from wherever he was hiding

“She’s going to be out for two games, and then we’ll reassess afterwards,” he said.
“That tells you a little bit about what grade it is, but we don’t want to go into more details on that at this point."

Sounds like Kerr may be out for longer than two games

The first 4 stories in the SMH are about Women’s football. It was 6 yesterday just after the game. Superb

Definitely, wouldn’t be surprised if she misses most, if not all of the tournament.

Yeah that absolutely reads like shes out the tournament.

You’d also say that team-mates wouldn’t be so devastated for her if the injury was not worse than the reports suggest.

Yeah doesn’t sound good…

You know the women have made it when you go and interview random physio / biomechanical lecturers about the severity of an njury based off nothing but TV footage and make that a news article

Kerr put pics on insta doing a leg press without any strapping or such, hopefully that’s a good sign.

I’d want a copy of today’s Courier Mail in the shot…

Hopefully they asked Fozzie & being Channel 7 he told them to fuck off. Basheer is just happy for some sort of on screen relevance.

The plot thickens.

That won’t help, Queensland is 30 years behind the rest of the country…
