Tillies WC thread

[Dazzler9]

Thread to discuss all things Matildas at the World Cup. Only 2 games to go, whichever way it goes against the Poms in the semi's.

They got overshadowed by the Ashes during the group stages, but they've since taken the nation's sporting psyche by storm with knockout wins over Denmark followed by the most epic of shootout victories over the French. Get onboard.

Last time I was this interested in soccer was the 2006 World Cup

My interest tends to be intermittent too. The 2015 Asian Cup was the last high point I reckon. But watching the girls lastnight I was impressed by the standard and captivated by the contest.

Dazz is backing them? RIP Matildas' chances.

Yeah the last couple of games have been great, enjoyed them. Even my mrs has been watching and she mostly hates sport

Bumping this for tonight

Good luck to the girls

Win or lose they’ve had one hell of a ride

If they win the WC, will Sam Kerr retire to join our AFLW?

 

[kempy]

Fitness guys have passed Sam fit to play tonight. Good move since it’s crucial we are first to score and she makes that more possible given her pedigree. We are banking on her playing maybe 90 minutes but more like 80 is likely. Problems arise if we get to extra time and especially penalties and she is gassed.
I’m going for a 2-1 win in normal time with Kerr and Fowler scoring. Poms get a late one.

No unless she strangely decides she hates earning millions of dollars

Kerr. Crikey what a goal and a huge lift from the girls

 

[Balls In]

What a goal.

 

[RookiePick]

Oh man. That was a disaster.

 

[Ishmael_]

Jeez that was poor from Carpenter. Aus was having all the play. Shame.

Hype will die down massively now, but even if 10% of bandwagoners take an interest in womens sport from here it would be a massive success.

 

[Godfather32]

Bleh...can't say they didn't have chances

England looked the better side. Sucky result but fair.

I would love to have the power to affect sporting results in real life.

I always had the mind that Spain was gonna handle whichever team went through anyway...oh well...third place playoff here we come

 

[Dazzler9]

Also, we're keeping the Ashes, so f*** off England.

Oh well, the dream of winning a public holiday was nice while it lasted.

Doubt we'd have gotten one in WA.

Incredible strike.

England were superb on the counter attack. Aussie girls looked slow and the English 11 was a freaking battle tank.

The second goal conceded was the turning point. Everyone knew it was a gift and a bunch of air came out of the Aussies.
