    Kerr's father publicly said before news emerged of her imminent trial that Kerr wouldn't be fit to play at the Olympics, but Gustavsson hasn't been so definitive just yet...

    Supposedly happened when she was trying to catch a cab in Twickenham after she'd scored a hat trick for Chelsea in January 2023. Allegedly relates to an incident where a police officer was who responding to a complaint involving a taxi fair was racially aggravated harassed by Kerr...

    Sam Kerr has pleaded not guilty to a charge over allegedly racially aggravated harassment of a police officer in the UK. She's reportedly set to go to trial in February 2025. According to an interview given by Tony Gustavsson earlier today, even though Kerr was arrested in January and issued a...

    Sitting on the bus on the way home after the game. So glad the bus is air conditioned. I was sitting on the third level and the temperature up there was stifling. Can't imagine how hard it would have been to play the game, especially with no breaks for hydration. Can't believe FIFA didn't allow...

    Gustavsson complained about it during the press conference. And he has a point. Not the best stadium management by the FFA and Marvel. Already pretty warm in Melbourne and it isn't 10am yet. Marvel could be a steam bath by tonight, especially if they don't close the roof until the afternoon. I...

    Uzbeks running on fumes and we are starting to fill our boots. Foord gets on the scoresheet.

    That's a great goal from Fowler. Needed that.

    Van Egmond has been picked on reputation for at least two years. Should only be used as a sub if that. We are a bit lucky Gustavsson didn't use Sayer as a striker in this game. Feel sorry for Sayer when she is asked to play as a striker because she is not a striker. Heyman being up front has...

    Get her off the ground and get the game going again. Referee being way too lenient here.

    Heyman has been banging them in for Canberra United but it is a mite embarrassing that we need to rely on a 36 year old to score goals.

    Finally bringing on a proper striker. Hopefully Heyman gets it done.

    Credit to Uzbekistan and their coach, they are very well organised. They just get in the right spots to force us to play in a manner we don't necessarily want.

    In addition, Gustavsson hates playing strikers not named Sam Kerr. Should have started Heyman.

    Had to go walk the dog about 20 minutes in, but it's worth noting that Fowler and Raso aren't regulars at their respective clubs, which could explain their rustiness. They need to move to look after their own careers.

    One degree in Tashkent now. Uzbekistan in for a surprise. Predicting 36 degrees in Melbourne on Wednesday for the return leg.

    Foord on the bench in favour of Torpey. Torpey earns cap no. 227.

    Good luck to Irankunda when he moves to Germany but boy does he need to do some growing up. Got the strop last night when things didn't go his way something bad. Was not doing the team thing and wanted to take potshots at goal from 30 yards out every time. Not the Japanese striker but the...

    Through connections, sat in the player family area for the women's game against United. Saw Patrick Kisnorbo at the bar. Wonder if he is thinking about putting up his hand for managing City again next season.

    The Guardian is publishing their annual top 100 women footballers. Mackenzie Arnold comes in at #77, Hayley Raso at #87 and Kyra Cooney-Cross at #89. They have only done 100-71, so I assume that players like Kerr, Foord and Catley are yet to come. Arguably, Raso is too low at #87. All three are...

    The trouble for the Matildas is that there really isn't anyone coming through the A-League Women's that can slot into the striker role. I imagine we'll be stuck with the likes of Amy Sayer playing out of position as a striker because she happens to be tall. Remy Siemsen used to be the next in...

    Yeah, got tickets. Up in the nosebleeds on level 3. Some of the ticket prices are insane. I still remember driving out to Epping to watch a Melbourne Victory v Brisbane Roar A-League Women's game four years ago (in a couple of days, actually) and wandering over to the players post-match to...

    Disgraceful selection by Gustavsson and he has form doing this. What will Hunter and Rule gain from this cluster* of a performance? Absolutely sweet * all. Instead, they get picked on by Canada and must be feeling devastated that their first appearance for the national team was such a...
