It definitely won't come cheap, and it'll definitely be hard to find the right person. I'm not religiously opposed to having another Aussie coach but it's no use for us to bring in a defensive minded coach to replace the defensive minded coach, who replaced another defensive minded coach. Out...

I appreciate the kind words Pat 🙏

The men's Asian Cup only being 6 months after the tournament makes me feel that we'll still be seeing the old guard after that tournament, and I'd imagine the FA will keep Popa along til the tournament is done. I would rather we make the change after the WC, bring in a coach that utilizes a...

Personally I'm in the boat that we need to try and attract a foreign coach. If you do want an Aussie then maybe you try and entice Cklamovski away from Malaysia? Personally I'd like someone to come in with a fresh perspective and no previous bias or favorites from the A-League. At least that...

I am seriously worried that we are not going to take the chance to use these games as an opportunity to test out some younger players, or get some more promising players into the fold. The Matildas golden generation is gone, the FA needs to accept that and not make the mistake of wheeling out...

Most likely. Jamaica are terrible.

Doubt it, but more scouts in Oceania is always nice! Definitely think the OFC Pro League will get some fresh eyes on the product.

I beg to differ, I'd say since we can barely even qualify for the tournament we're one of the only teams you CAN write out 😂

I don't think he will be here after the World Cup to be honest. I can see us being favorites to finish top of the group but I don't see us getting too far in the knockouts unfortunately

To be fair this was the absolute ideal scenario for Italy, transition defending has been a huge weakness under Gattuso, I am definitely more confident going up against Bosnia who are less technical/quick than Wales. Still worried of course, we always find a way to bottle it when it matters...

Northern Ireland as well 😅

Believe me it was very much bubbling when I was up at 3:45am Perth time watching Politano whip in useless balls to the back post against Northern Ireland...

Agree with this. Its very rare that we will lose out on players to smaller nations that will cause us issues. I'd say in recent memory the only player this maybe applies to is Jake Brimmer, could very well be others. Mehmeti has the potential to be a loss but I don't think we are going to miss...

I get a breather in these episodes since the recording normally cuts out 3/4 times per recording, surprised I made it through this week without passing out 😭

Appreciate the kind words 😅

I mean we struggle against teams in Asia that are closer in the rankings to San Marino than they are to us. Any game for us is a challenge under Popa...

I think he was just preoccupied with begging Volpato to return his calls while simultaneously trying to drag the corpse of Luke Brattan along for another undeserved international gig for old times sake.

FIFA Rankings are one of the most useless indicators of ability of national teams. They heavily favor European sides, and they don't give African sides anywhere near enough credit. The fact that Belgium was #1 in the world at any point should be enough of an indicator that the ranking are...

It's only right that our half-century episode would heavily feature us complaining about Popa 😂

Slightly disappointed we won't be seeing him. Would've loved to have seen how Bos and/or Herrington would've matched up against him.
