Matildas The Matildas Thread

[Dixie Flatline]

Hopefully she is better than the 36 year old striker we picked for the men’s team.

EVE is fine as a 6 but not in that role, she doesn’t finish well enough (although the last miss was inexcusable).

Where was this urgency in the first half?

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 made a big difference to how we have played and now she scores the goal.

Uzbeks moved to a full low block now.

Expecting about 10 more shots on goal this last 20 Mins.

 

[CURVE]

Well done Michelle. Great to see her back in a Matilda's jersey, and great to see her score again.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Credit to Heyman, she has changed the game completely. Has to start in Melbourne.

 

[raven echo]

Robbie Thomson isn't much better than Basheer.

Rock and a hard place.

I think that’s the problem. Don’t really have one.

Well Van Egmond isn’t one for sure .

We're cooked this Olympics without Kerr

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Nice to see Australia is bringing on those promising youngsters Aivi Luik and Tameka Yallop.

Fowler with some very nice crosses tonight

 

[Dixie Flatline]

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

 

[damicky]

She deserved a goal

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Mary, our queen. What a classy finish.

 

[CURVE]

Great goal Mary.

She scores a lot of goals of a diagonal run.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

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

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Much better last 20 minutes, they have fallen apart a bit.

Should be a relaxing night on Wednesday

 

[CURVE]

Can't see Uzbeckistan scoring 3 or more in Melbourne, so off to the Olympics we go.

 

[damicky]

Fooooooord

 

[jhong]

Mary doesn’t look happy at all despite scoring a good goal .

Nope

That was only 2 goals. And the Uzbekistani women aren't in the same class.

 

[CURVE]

The Matilda's looked out of sorts and impotent in front of goals until Heyman came on and changed the game with her runs into the box and her goal and from then on, they looked more like the Matilda's we all know and love.

Arnold must of been ice cold, barely had to do anything tonight
