@Nick Nicholas If you watch a lot of WSL out of England and know the Matildas throughout the league, you should know they have a lot of talented and experienced players. Having said that, Australia fielded a team against England missing 5 starters and still kept a clean sheet. Their coach, Tony Gustavsson, was the strategic brain trust behind the USWNT winning in 2015 and 2019. Sam Kerr and Ellie Carpenter are both top 11 world players. Don't assume Australia is a push over side.

Too early to get out of bed but saw the ending and together with highlights amazing what attacking football can achieve. Very little of the possession football Matildas have attempted lately with limited success. So good to see them attacking when they finally got some ball and 2 goals the result. In other matches whenever they reverted to possession football, few goals and more goals for the opposition. England had nearly 70% possession and lost. Must be a story here for our coaching staff. Use what ball you have to attack and stop giving opposition opportunities just holding on to possession. If you are not positive when in possession it is just wasting time. I hope the Matildas go back to attacking football rather than possession football they are just not suited to. You saw the result of attacking football today against one of the best teams at present. Don't revert to tiddlywinks football again, stay with positive attacking football and reap the rewards.

Spot on. The way Kerr has been playing with Chelsea has allowed her to distribute responsibility a lot more. Foord is in red hot form and the way those two have been combining in recent games is almost like Kirby/Kerr. Speed up the wings with Vine and Carpenter, control in the midfield with Gorry and CooneyX. The more teams focus on Kerr the more the rest of the forwards - Foord, Fowler, Raso and midfielders will score. The more they score the more it frees up Kerr. Win win.

100% agree. Too many coaches saw Barcelona perfect the lateral/backpass game and tried to imitate it. Without the right personnel it is a recipe for disaster. Look at tapes and see just how many goals teams are conceding trying this possession football. If it is in your opponents half they rarely get a scoring opportunity from that distance. Twenty metres from goal you are inviting the opposition to score if a mistake is made passing the ball laterally/back.
