That's the midfield creation and control gone. I think we lose it from here

 

[Sutherlandbear]

The Japanese are far more mobile than the Australians.

Two more changes for the Matildas. Emily van Egmond and Clare Wheeler coming on in the 83rd minute for Mary Fowler and Kyra Cooney-Cross respectively.

Pepe out. He was brought in to rebuild the team, create a winning culture and win a trophy. What have we done? Well we certainly haven’t retired the old guard.

 

[zimbos05]

FFS!!!

 

[erogenouszone]

Well we certainly haven’t retired the old guard.

They have too much say.

 

[JS96]

Christ!

 

[Quicky]

We're hoping will and energy bring us home. I hate the changes but I think Fowler and Cooney-Cross were cooked.

 

[erogenouszone]

Too many players in the box there for anything to get through.

 

[zimbos05]

Loyalty to the old guard has cost us. You need one of Kyra or Mary to control the game. Foord staying on is criminal

 

[erogenouszone]

Peppering the box with crosses isn't really doing much at all.

 

[zimbos05]

You're literally there for the header, and you can't even power it.

Not ours. Serious clean out and change needed

 

[erogenouszone]

Dammit.

 

[Quicky]

Great cross, header, save. Ooof.

 

[booney52]

Top save by the Japanese keeper to deny Kennedy.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Loyalty to the old guard has cost us.

At the beginning of the Matildas' campaign I said that there was a disaster waiting to happen and of course it has to happen in the final.

 

[erogenouszone]

Only 4 minutes. A miracle in the modern game.

 

[Pub League Champion]

Hit & hopeless

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Four minutes of second half stoppage time. Matildas still trailing Japan 1-0.

 

[Quicky]

Great technique EvE ...
