I bet the Philly's coaching staff won't be zipping up their jackets and putting collars up when they come to Sydney.

 

[erogenouszone]

Maybe don't pass the ball directly to an opposing defender when you're in the box all the time....

Found Sepp Blatters burner

Mate I'm not saying they should wear bike shorts like our friend said. I'm surprised in this day and age they don't have different versions. Some of the Philippino girls seem to be wearing something approximating bike shorts though.

There'll be just the one minute of stoppage time in the first half. Matildas still leading the Philippines 1-0.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Matildas leading the Philippines 1-0 at the half, with Sam Kerr's goal in the 14th minute the only goal of the match so far.

 

[erogenouszone]

Oh good I can put it on mute for 15 minutes.

the buildup of our cb-dm combinations is absolutely awful....reminds me of australia v bahrain under graham ardnold

in the end we got the goal and when we play japan and other teams that come out more maybe that part of our game isn't as important

especially if we have cbs and dms in the squad with better ball skills?

88% possession!

Tillies had five shots at goal in the first half but only two of those were on target.

Just pulling a leg, I agree lol

we seem decent once we get to the final third at working combinations or having effective crosses, but the build up to get there, especially through the first third is very very poor

I think we’ve clearly been in control but yeah we’ve got plenty to improve. I’d take Emily van Egmond off.

I’d take Emily van Egmond off.

That's your answer for everything.

cbs looked pretty poor in trying to find our midfield too mind you. Having a technical midfield like kcc would mitigate it but there seems to be an issue with our cbs ball playing ability

are they are first choice?

 

[HonestSpursFan]

That's your answer for everything.

Well yeah she isn’t playing well. She’s not in good form for Leicester either.

Can confirm

asked him what to do to fix water shortages in melbourne and that was his answer

 

[erogenouszone]

I know. I'm just being provocative because I can.

Usually (as in recently) Steph is at CB with Clare rather than at LB like she is today. Wini is a CB and challenges for a spot. She’s good.

Yeah only cause she drank all of Melbourne’s water supply in training!

I'd say also bring on Mary Fowler late in the second half and maybe bolster the forward line with either one of Kahli Johnson or Holly McNamara so we have more options in attacking midfield and the forward line as opposed to just a sole striker.
