Matildas The Matildas Thread

Bloody hell that match was incredible:

Her 3rd goal (and the 2nd wasn't too shabby either) versus some of those the other side were scoring going in off players backs and stomachs

 

[ams4crows]

Sam Kerr another 2 goals tonight and Simon with a belter!!

Smashed China 5-1

These girls are AMAZING!

 

[samFFC]

That goal from Kyah Simon - woweeee!

 

[hey shorty]

These girls deserve prime time.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Some hit by Simon. Very decent crowd too.

 

[Harry#7]

China actually played better in this match too, better ball retention, looked much better going forward, created quite a few chances. Huge game from Lydia Williams, she must be in the top few keepers in the world at the moment.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

A really great Doco about Kyah Simon and Lydia Williams came out a few years ago. Two indigenous girls from very different backgrounds. Well worth a watch if you can track it down.

The Matilda's are probably our best and most entertaining sporting team at the moment and deserve more recognition than they are getting on this board. Their goal this morning was one of the best counter-attacking goals I've seen. In the end a little unlucky to draw 1-1 with the US.

Not to mentioned the 3-1 victory against Brazil which was the 4th consecutive victory against them.

If the Matildas beat Japan by more than the US beat Brazil we win the tournament again. Good preparation for the World Cup next year in France.

 

[hey shorty]

Hopefully Italia beat them... and good

They wont, and good.

 

[hey shorty]

Good can always beat evil.

Oh that's right, you're racist.

 

[Galaxie77]

Oh that's right, you're racist.

No

 

[hey shorty]

No

Or just hate the country you live in..... potato portato

Again, you're an Australian.

I'll go either way... but does anyone know when the cut-off time for full strength beer at aami is? 5pm is a yes, 7pm is a no - what's up with 6pm? (Asking for a friend!)

 

[red+black]

Yeah the timing is odd, possibly to be family-friendly. No idea about the beer.

 

[Greenstar5]

Probably to be a more family friendly time.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Looking forward to this. Hopefully Raso is back on the park by March and available for selection. Given she's back in full training with the Roar, I imagine she will be selected.

 

[drd23]

Apparently Alen Stajcic is being fired today?

[hey shorty]

Idiots, this bloke has done wonders for all the girls and helped make them the darlings of sport in this country.

 

[Amazing Racer]

There has to be more to the story. Wish they would call a spade a spade

The girls forced him out like they did the last bloke. Pretty simple I'd have thought
