Do you really expect us to play with zero offensive facilities? I'm sure if we had the facilities of you and the Philippines, we could have presented a very good game, there are many talents in our girls, but what do you expect when there are no facilities available? I personally love football. I really like to play football, but believe me, where I live, there is not even a simple hall and field for playing!

@@h9o1_ It's not about facilities and funding. It's about respect for your own team & your opposition team. The Philippines women's football team is still underfunded and even though their facilities might be better than the Iranian women's football team, what they were able to show is great sportsmanship. They lost 8-0 but they all worked hard until the end. They defended as best as they could while the Iranian only had 1 purpose from the beginning. To ruin the game with whatever means. It's ridiculous to see all the fake injuries, the constant diving, the constant stopping. If that was how they were trained and with that sort of mentality, even if they got large funding with amazing facilities they'd still go nowhere

Women in Iran don't have the same rights and support as women in other countries (who STILL are not treated well either). Iran women don't have the same money, nutrition guidance, recovery guidance, play experience, and exposure to the game as Philippines women do. Iran women would be fatiguing faster, cramping more, getting more hurt by collisions because they don't have the muscle mass to protect them and aren't used to the level of play. What makes you think they were faking? That's how a lower level team would play against full time professionals. They'd be slower and hurt more.

@@AlphabetCookie nothing to justify what Iranian ladies did. It was an embarrassment to their own team if anything. Everyone who's been watching football knows what Iran did the other day was mostly fake. Watch North Korea women's football team. They're being starved more than Iranians. They're one of the most starved nations in the world. They have much less freedom, much more oppressed yet did they do what Iran did? No. It's called professionalism and sportsmanship. Funny in the game that they were winning, they didn't do these things. Suddenly in the games where they were losing, they were miraculously so fragile that a bit of touch caused them to roll 5x to the left, then roll 4x to the right

@@zyaravie911 Cringe.

Matilda's what?

Maybe it better to park the bus next time

yeah it would have been better if they just parked the BUS and not played at all

@@dn1969 hahahahaha spot on !!!!!

@@dn1969 Nah.

My favourite moment in the whole game and the hug Foord gave her.

She's the best

@@swandepaul1198 No she didn't.

@@swandepaul1198 I guess you didn't watch the World Cup.

@@swandepaul1198 She called you out for being stupid?

Cool as a cucumber 👌

The spin on her goal. 😮‍💨

Australia will be in good hands when Kerr retires

Agree. Her energy, skills and unstoppable bravery literally traumatize the enemy.

Till they meet Nigeria 😅

@@saintsone7877 let me be clear, my criticism for the “experts” was in relation to their response to the iran game - not the end stages of the World Cup. I basically agree with your assessment of how we performed against England/sweden. What I would say though is that you criticise him for not addressing the lack of talent/dept in his two years…he can’t make world class players Australian. The talent pool is what it is. If you have specific players he ignored, didn’t include in his WC squad because he gave their positions to inferior players - I’m all ears. I don’t think that’s the case. People need to face facts. 1. We just don’t have the depth of talent that some of the better European nations do. We never have. There is no amount of first team management skill that will change that in the short to medium term. Because of this, he relied on 13-14 players who are at a high level. We just aren’t going to be able to dominate teams like England and Spain and retain possession. We don’t have the same level of quality across the pitch. Let’s not ignore though that this was by a distance our best ever performance at a World Cup, that he achieved that without the services of his best player who is the one player in Australia that would start in every other nations team and that even when we fell short against the European champions, we weren’t embarrassed. If you disagree with this, I honestly don’t know what to tell you. I don’t know what you expect from any possible manager of the Matildas. I’m not saying that this game says anything about our ability to match the best teams in the world - Like I said before, I was addressing criticism of the Iran win, not World Cup losses. However, to criticise the manager because we lost a World Cup semi final - ignoring the fact that we’d never made it that far in history and were playing one of the best teams in the world - and because we aren’t able to boss possession is ludicrous. That was never our game because we aren’t at that level. It’s like criticising Tottenham for not bossing man city in possession! Why? Man city are the best in the world at doing that - our way to beat them is not to try and hold the ball but rather soak up pressure and break fast utilising our great quality in speed up front.

@@saintsone7877 agree with all that. But I’d say that Clare hunt and kyra Cooney-Cross are evidence that he is playing the long game in that regard and placed a value on getting these younger, inexperienced players an opportunity. Hunt was uncapped before he came and now she is a guaranteed starter and is playing for PSG. Cooney-Cross was a young, inexperienced understudy who wasn’t getting much of a shot and is now a guaranteed starter, the future of that midfield and playing for arsenal. Charlotte grant and teagan Micah are both on that path but still have excellent performers in front of them. Mary Fowler as well - she has only become what she has become under his watch. Vine as well. He clearly sees the potential in Nevin and wheeler too and is getting them more involved. The worry is there is no prospect of a younger Kerr anywhere. Then again, There are maybe 2 other strikers on the planet that are on kerr’s level so how realistic is it that we would ever be able to replace her. All that being said, if we all want to see Tony giving these youngsters a shot and giving them experience - we can’t all Then turn around and lament not giving iran a bath in a game we showed no prospect of actually losing despite fielding a very inexperienced outfit. Either Tony must maximise every single result no matter the opposition or context - or he must take the opportunity to get some vital experience into young players to help with our depth for the long term. Can’t be both.

What now?

and the long ball from cayley to raso😍

@@arvacado3540 the little flick on, then the bar in to score MINTTTT

*Tillys*

Interesting assessment. You do know that Mary only assisted 1 of the goals in the first half from the left hand side. More goals came from the middle of the park. The goal Mary scored came from the right.....

Completely agree it was a great result for Iran to lose by only 2 goals against Matildas. The Iran women futsal team is the best in Asia, so the potential is definitely there.

That was just a temporary win for your team. We know they cannot win against japan nor north korea in the third round.

​@wildurfra it's not about winning its about forcing a goal! I think Filipinas can score a goal if they play the same offense against strong nations!

​@@luxshampoo8520they easily beaten by Australia, back then 6-0, now 8-0

​@Izzy-vz6iu because Filipinas refuse to play like the australians! they only perform hard if it's a small nation! like bolden could have match kerr athleticism but she refuses it probably coaches order!

Nah he left after the World Cup. Mark Torcaso is their coach now, another Aussie

No offense but it's the only way the Philippines stand any chance of winning their own country men and women lack the athletic ability to compete at the high level even in basketball without the American imports The Philippines wouldn't stand any chance of winning.

@@iakadayrneh yes but what I'm saying is winning isn't everything, you don't have to win, which they didn't anyway, it's a win having young women something to strive for, and it's a win having your own country people representing your team. Winning means nothing if you don't win with your own country men/women... imo

@@crazysithslave I see what you are saying unfortunately the Philippines aren't the only country that uses non local players, half of Nigeria women football team are foreign born so is Jamaica. It's also unfortunate that the Philippines is stuck in a tougher federation in the AFC. So I wouldn't give them much slack, I think the Philippines should join the weak football confederations in the OFC federation or the CAF African confederation in football so they could stand a chance of winning.

you need to build your football infrastructure first, unfortunately, that requires money

First of all, the goal that New Zealand scored was ruled offsides. VAR showed it but it was literally by a shoulder or something crazy. Basically, Hannah Wilkinson is tall and that's what cost them. Second of all- I have no earthly idea... I love the Ferns, but they are prone to choking when it matters most.

How does New Zealand ever qualify will being a part of the weakest football confederation what competition do they have Papuan New Guinea 😅😂

I think their nervousness got the best of them. They froze and they were all over the place.

Australia have great player

I can truly believe Nigeria defeated you.

​@@wildurfraEngland with 10 player beat 11 Nigerian women (if they are 😂)

because the coach at last world cup of Philippines team was Coach Alen Stajcic former coach of 2015 Australian team (Matildas) who beat Australia also last AFF 2022 so no surprised his a really good coach.

@@wildurfra Still better than New Zealand who just lost 2 games to powerhouses Chile lol

@@wildurfra To be fair Nigeria are a lot better than Philippines lol how did the Ferns lose to this team?

the Phillipines won their first game 4-1 so why would you play a weaker team against someone that's higher on the table than you

Another armchair critique 😂

Needed a big win. No point having experience if you don’t qualify. Right move.

@@scotthatty9499 we started with the right line up for sure, and yes we made subs in 2nd half, but I'm just wondering as to how we'll go by taking some more key players and test the depth of the squad after such dominating first half.

@@damiensimper WellI do have to sit down on a chair or a couch perhaps while I type this comment. Kinda hard to run around or juggle a football or doing pull ups while typing. I guess I have limitations too

You too!

​@@wildurfra I did... 😂

​@@wildurfraEASE TOO FEED

Australia even beat 3 nations by 20(even more) goal, so it is also benefits by talent

Australia qualified for the last three WWCs as well...and they weren't hosting. Do some research

Still waiting for the Ferns to have their luck, probably came in that one game against Norway lol

Why so salty? They r just trying their best to play football. If they lose, try again. Australia did qualify for the previous 3 world cups isn’t it. 😊

And guess what? That World Cup that Australia almost didn't qualify for went all the way to the Semi Finals!! New Zealand on the other hand had one lucky game against Norway and didn't even show up for the other two games 😂😂 You Kiwis should be thanking Australia for making the World Cup a success. We did all the heavy lifting esp with crowd numbers which were awful in Nz.

They're not playing based on level here. It's based on location. It's seeing which Asian teams qualify for the Olympics.

This is Olympic qualifiers- you don't get a choice lol. You can't just pick whoever you want to get to the olympics lol

Then, blame the AFC. Lol 😂

Stupid. Any team would not improve by playing at a lower level.

This is not mens international football where South America dominates. This is women's international football. Where South America is irrelevant it's much easier for low level South American national football teams to Qualify in the Olympics than it is for the Philippines or Iran to Qualify in the AFC Asian confederation. Especially in North America it's very weak and the CAF Africa region is another weak confederation. The Philippines are just unlucky they have to face Former World Cup Champions Japan, and tough teams like China, Australia, South Korea,North Korea. If the Philippines were in South America or Africa they would qualify much easier due to the lack of opposition in these regions. In Women's football Europe and Asia are more successful and are much harder to be up and coming.

Tbf the Philippines is a World Cup team but yea definitely not the best. But just the movement and overall quality of play by Australia shows that they had a great game and are improving. And 8-0 is a great margin on any day.

The third world has nothing to do with anything, South American countries are third world and have won World Cups in men's football. In Women's international football the AFC Asian region is a competitive and hard confederation it's hard for the national teams like the Philippines and Iran to advance any further. Unlike the weak confederation in Africa and South American in Women's football with national teams like Colombia, Argentina advancing due to lack of competition or a weak nation like Nigeria to dominate in Africa. In Women's international football Europe and Asia regions are harder for the upcoming national football teams to go further in competitions. If the Philippines joined the OFC or CAF which is Africa they would be competitive with weak national teams. At least the Philippines women national football team does their best to compete in tougher confederation I respect them for that.

@@iakadayrneh blah blah you fool; my comment was aimed at my country behaving like world beaters and celebrating a win without being humble about it. If you are pino then you should be proud of your teams effort for having a go. Read before you leap.

Yes

yes

yes

cause 5 or 6 days practiced only before this qualifying tournament started caused all of these players plays at different clubs around and they have new coach last month September 2 2023 fairly new. the reason why philippines beat Australia (last year AFF 2022 Australia o - Philippines 1) and New Zealand ( last world cup NZ 0-1 Philippines) is because of their Former Coach (Coach Alen Stajcic) also Former Coach of Matildas 2015 team.

Nobody jumped out of the way. Why do men always talk shit.
