Matildas friendlies in June 2026

[offshorejack]

She is third choice at this stage, Chloe Lincoln would be ‘next cab off the rank’.

yeah, no doubt

i know she’s only young, and i guess i’m a little biased… but she’ll definitely be number one in a few years

i just feel in order to play out from the back we need a better ball playing keeper

Which shouldn’t be the case based on form.

Depends if Teresa Morrissey gets called up or not.

Greta Espinoza yellow carded in the 48th minute for Mexico for a foul, becoming the first player to receive one this match.

Ellie absolutely belted with the ball by Lani but back on.

Teresa Morrissey has no experience at international level apart from playing for the Young Matildas though.

Personally I don’t think it should matter. She deserves more youth caps though.

Good to have you on board. There are a lot of changes to be made but the coach needs to have the courage to make those changes.

Ideally we need players who get called up for both the Socceroos and Matildas to have prior international experience for the age grade sides unless they've already proven themselves previously at continental level like Tete Yengi or Shelby McMahon have.

would be good to get some clarity as to the reasoning behind why we don’t use friendlies and mickey mouse tournaments for blooding the next gen

99.9% of the rest of the worlds clubs and international teams do… not sure why we don’t!?

Surprised at the fluency of the passing this half by the Matilda's, They have looked better than last week. Having said that, their back passes are hopeless.

That’s the ‘sixty four dollar question’.

Charlize Rule yellow carded in the 65th minute for the Matildas for a foul, becoming the first Matildas player and second player overall to receive one this match.

Caitlin Foord scores in the 70th minute for the Matildas to extend their lead to 3-1. Kaitlyn Torpey with the assist.

Two changes for the Matildas. Leticia McKenna and Holly McNamara come on in the 72nd minute for Sam Kerr and Hayley Raso respectively.

Holly and Teesh on!!!

Leticia McKenna earning only her second cap for the Matildas at senior international level.

The Matildas have had the same problems with their back passes as they had on Saturday and are still giving Mexico too much space defensively.
