Thank you for all the memories and contributions Annalie and wishing you all the best!

Bianca Galić's Croatia play Bulgaria away at 9:00pm AEDT tonight. World Cup qualifier, being played in Sofia. Should be a good watch even though neither will actually go to the World Cup.
Riley Tanner's Panama play their qualifier against Saint Kitts and Nevis in Saint Peter's on Thursday morning at 10:00am AEDT. Lucía León's Dominican Republic play theirs against Anguilla in The Valley on Saturday morning at 6:00am AEDT.

Nikkita Fazzari, Alvina Khoshaba and Nat Tathem fell agonisingly short with the Australian women's futsal team at the ASEAN Women's Futsal Championships, losing 5-4 in the final to hosts Thailand but a remarkable result for them nonetheless, making it all the way to the final on debut and as the only team drawn from pot 4.

The goal:
She also got an assist which combined with the goal is why she got POTM. Also cause Frozen (what Panamanians call her) is a queen!
