Matildas friendlies in April 2026

Looks good but why just a left winger? Why not try Izzy Gómez on the right?

The formation can also be mirrored to accommodate a right winger instead with Izzy Gomez assuming the right wing position and Holly McNamara as striker, but the base formation is two strikers and just a left winger.

Kenya ran out 2-0 winners over India in the other FIFA Series opening day game, and advance to the final on Wednesday where they'll play against the Matildas.

The Matildas' starting XI for the FIFA Series final against hosts Kenya has been named. Alanna Kennedy leads the line as captain in her 150th appearance for the Tillies, with Mackenzie Arnold again starting between the sticks.

I guess there was no point to this series at all then. Why are we desperate to see WSL players up against amateurs?

Matildas in their home green and gold 'lime Splice' strip, with Kenya in their all red kits with white trim. Mackenzie Arnold in the blue keeper strip, as was the case for our opening day game against Malawi.

Matildas and Kenya now underway, with the Tillies kicking from right to left.

Not great so far.

Kenya are ranked 128th by the way.

Forgot to say but this is Alanna Kennedy’s 150th game!

Rankin way too slow to be a Matilda’s FB.

I think she’s a good squad player but I wouldn’t start her. She’s used to three at the back for Hoffenheim which is why I suggested we try that this game. But of course we don’t experiment even against shit teams like the teams in this (India, Kenya and Malawi) unfortunately.

Reddit’s match thread is silent by the way. I’m the only one who’s commented so far (I’ve done so three times).

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Horrible start. Ring the alarm bells, suits!

GOAL!!!!

Sam Kerr scores in the 25th minute to give the Matildas a 1-0 lead.

She barely celebrated. I guess she knows we’re playing dogshit.

Three minutes of first half stoppage time.

Matildas leading Kenya 1-0 going into the half.
