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

Really!? Holy shit, that is absolutely wild.

Yeah, appears he’s Tommy Sermanni’s 2IC. Can’t imagine he’s ever bothered himself with the intricacies of women’s football.

JP not singing the anthem. What a cunt.

They really are.

At least this ref isn’t afraid to whip out the cards. Both fullbacks now on a yellow after only 15 minutes.

Say what you like about Carpenter, she has an incredible engine on her

Carpenter has an amazing dribbling technique as well. Having the ball at her feet doesn’t slow her down.

Time for Van Egmond, Yallop, Heyman and Kennedy to follow Polkinghorne in retirement from the Matildas. Game is too quick for them now. Plenty of young talent to replace them.

If Raso had that final ball in her locker she would be some player. Absolute terrier. Huge heart. Just seems to make too many bad choices when heading into the box.

Every time Grant is mentioned in commentary I hear Charlie Brown.

I have honestly been questions if that’s what he’s been saying :slight_smile:

Quite a few of the fringe players have played really well tonight

Galic didn’t look out of place.

Watched her play live multiple times for City down here over the last couple years and wasn’t remotely surprised she got an OS move so early. Her with CC and Fowler would be a very tidy midfield

With a few of the girls heading back to Europe, bit of a different starting XI for tonight’s game.

Also, a few good quotes from Sermanni in this article about how poorly we’re set up for the future in terms of getting new faces bedded into the team…

Yallop and Freier as wingbacks is pretty aggressive thankfully

Two quick goals. Prior and Freier.

We’re on fire. Let’s go higher. Don’t make me a liar, down here in the shire.

Pretty nasty head clash. Chids/Galic should be plenty ball movement though

Fuck me. Does Uli Davila have Charlie Grant’s number?
