WSW look lethal atm
Silvera and Burgess lead Socceroos new breed as Arnold reveals why he rejected Hibs
atm Id agree with you.. I really dont get with the persistance with Fernandes and Casemiro in the second half. They lacked vitality, needed Fred I think but he’s gone.
And the subs which came on didnt show much energy themselves.

use the USA today site to compare Cooney-Cross with Gorry..Kyra wins every time! ps includi\ong a phenomenal 100% successful tackle rate!
Thank you, Matildas, for the wonderful memories
Im not sure she has officially retired, I know she was thinking aboout it though.
Thank you, Matildas, for the wonderful memories
I not sure what stats Rec is but she topped that HOWEVER her pass stats was 74% way below Cooney-Cross. recovered? received?
Thank you, Matildas, for the wonderful memories
I would agree with 2 adjustments…Kennedy is still concussed so Luik in. Then Vine for Raso
Thank you, Matildas, for the wonderful memories
We do need other countries..we really dont have enough of the right stadiums for the Mens WC – and I dont see the Govt giving us enough money to build them all – and in time! Mind you including Singapore as some have indicated would seem stupid. It only adds 1 stadium and countless more hassles.

I cant believe you want me to waste time on what was plain to see..for starters
“42′
England break and Russo makes Polkinghorne look all of her 34 years, burning her. ”
ps try reading what everyone else was saying about Polkinghorne.
pps at the game I saw 3 things in the first 10 mins you need to take your rose tinted glasses off and look again

0Ive been forced to become a bit of a fanboy! I noticed how she was often ignored in writeups, or written about a bit disparingly, so Ive taken to watching her closely. Her style might look a bit laconic but she’s surprisingly fast. And I saw her win possession battles with multi English players.

“and didn’t put a foot wrong,” lol I could name at least 3 occasions she ‘put a foot wrong’ and her lack of pace was the main reason the defence cracked under pressure..
to quote Mike ” Polkinghorne will get murdered on the break by Hemp. She’s been ruthlessly exposed at times by England’s pace.”

not her fault and often her chasing was a key to us regaining possession

“Cooney-Cross looked done in in the second half ” not at the same game as me..it was Gorry that was done. Cooney-Cross was great all game but showed up even more in the second half.
Totally agree with everything else tho! 😁

Cooney -Corss is wasted becaude she gets no help in midfield.

some great comments mixed with some rubbish ones.
“I would have moved Raso central alongside Kerr taken Fowler offwhere England are slow centrally ” Raso is NOT a central player and was doing fine on the wing. She shouldve been replaced by Vine earlier tho. Fowler was superb second half.
“The I would have replaced Cooney Cross with Chidiac.” now this is plain nonsense. For some reason people treat Gorry as a goddess, she was the one to be replaced. Watch theh game again, Cooney-Cross was our best player all night.

Im guessing the plan was to start steady..it worked against France after they were caught out early by France in the friendly. It may have worked as the England team was clearly out of sync until they scored BUT poor defence let us down. I didnt see it at the time but maybe there was an element of tiredness involved.

Coonery-Cross dominated midfield

“Whatever happened to how we used to play out from the back? ” no Kennedy. I have to say I told you so to those who wanted to swap her for Polkinghorne

Better yes but a class above untrue hyperbole

I keep getting forced to say this..Im starting to feel shes related!!! BUT Cooney-Cross is the one to build our team around..she was easily the best Matilda last night..go ahead watch the replay!

To repeat it was Polkinghorne created the defence problems thou Carpenters defensive work has always been a little dodgy. I mightve played Grant earlier in the tourney.

” Raso and Gorry tried their guts out with their energy and spark.” not good enough for international footabll. Its ok for Raso as she plays forward but Gorry doesnt control possession at a high enough level.

I woudlve like to have seen Grant given a run. I think she is better defensively and stronger in the tackle. We lost most 50/50s.
ps easy to say now but whilst I understand Polkinghorne being played a gamble using GGrant instead – easy to say in hindsight! 😊
