Matildas underway against Iran and on the front foot early on in their second Women's Asian Cup group stage match.

Don't do the Raso going down drinking game if you want to live until the end of the 90 minutes.

Hayley Raso named on the bench for the Matildas today so she may well not get game time altogether.

Being rested ?

If I had a dollar for every second on the pitch that she was an absolute queen I would be way richer than Elon Musk.

Being rested ?

Yeah Pepe said he would be doing rotation. Resting the best players for the South Korea game.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Being rested ?

I think we are giving key players including Hayley Raso a rest for today's game against Iran given that there's only a two-day turnaround between our last group stage match against South Korea which will likely be winner takes all in determining how the knockout stage pans out.

[melbcityguy]

That's what I was sayering!!!

C'mon

 

[grazorblade]

yeees a haram ball goal graham arnold would be proud of

 

[erogenouszone]

Wow. Goalski to Amy Sayer.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Amy Sayer scoring a screamer from long range in the 8th minute to give the Matildas a 1-0 lead. Ellie Carpenter with the assist.

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Again I’ve always rated Amy Sayer since she started playing in the Damallsvenskan. Absolute baller and the Slayer will slay for Malmö this season. Just a shame we can’t watch her domestic games in Australia.

 

[erogenouszone]

Seeing as though we don't appear to have a left side we should just shift the entire team over to the right when attacking.

 

[erogenouszone]

Lovely pass from Carpenter to find Kerr just then.

 

[erogenouszone]

Passing much more crisper and quicker this game.

 

[erogenouszone]

Offside flag up for Fjoord goal.

 

[grazorblade]

phwah
now thats a goal, assisted through zone 14 on the deck into the penalty area against a deep and set defense, the gold standard of technical goals that I'd love to see in the mens game

 

[grazorblade]

ah crap VAR disallows it

too good to be true haha

 

[erogenouszone]

Fuck VAR.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Caitlin Foord's goal in the 18th minute disallowed for offside, with VAR confirming the decision on field.
