Fans can’t bear to watch ‘anaemic’ Matildas loss
Channel 10 has apologised after the second friendly between the Matildas and Canada was marred by issues with the broadcast.
Channel 10 has apologised after the second friendly between the Matildas and Canada was marred by issues with the broadcast.
The Matildas suffered a second successive loss to Canada in a disappointing end to 2023.
Amid questions over his full commitment and criticism of his decisions in Canada, the Matildas coach has hit back.
A 5-0 smashing in Canada has undone a lot of solid Matildas momentum but a star player has defended the decision to try new players and a new style.
Matildas captain Sam Kerr has received an Order of Australia medal for her services to football.
The Matildas are doing ‘everything possible’ to avoid a tournament-ending Covid-19 outbreak at the Asian Cup.
It wasn’t pretty, nor was it convincing but it’s all but passage sealed to the Women’s Asian Cup quarter-finals for the Matildas.
It wasn’t a blowout like the 18-0 opener but Matildas star Sam Kerr stepped up when needed at the Asian Cup.
Sam Kerr is a legend … for the Matildas. Tim Cahill holds similar stature … for the Socceroos. Please, let’s not get caught up in comparisons and instead celebrate them for their individual greatness.
The Matildas made a point of starting the Asian Cup strongly and with their 18-0 thrashing of Indonesia, they did just that.
Australia’s best-ever football player just became its greatest goalscorer, Sam Kerr piling on five goals to pass Tim Cahill in a ridiculous Asian Cup rout.
The Matildas are trying to find the right balance in wanting to build their squad for next year’s Women’s World Cup, but also taste short-term success at the Asian Cup.
Sam Kerr only needs two more goals to surpass Tim Cahill as Australia’s all-time leading scorer.
The Matildas are desperate to taste success in a major tournament for the first time since 2010.
