Oh my heart!

That was our chance. Great block by the French girl tbf

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

She really read that kick and timed her placement perfectly. Imagine if the kick had been a fraction of a second later!

Impressed with Fowler again. Wished she snagged a couple of those chances, but still playing well.

This has been a good game.

Both teams playing attacking footy. Both teams believe if they play their game they will win. i think it's reflected in the low additional time added to each half.

Carn Tillies!

French defense is so good! Better than ours, if I'm being honest.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but can our offense be better than their defense? Just one time? 😜

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

My heart can't take any more of this :(

Vine the new Aloisi!

Just done laps tearing my shirt off and running away from everyone.

Oooh, bit chillier than I thought.

GG. No GREAT GAME.

Oh wow does Sam make a difference! On the pitch for 20 seconds and there are shots on goal.

I hate penalties. Such an unsatisfying end to a hard game of equal sides.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Double flop from the French lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

There was genuine contact both times, she was milking it a bit though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Game is tense. Mistakes might decide this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

French backs are so quick. They are covering any half openings.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We're winning the aerial contests, but sending it to the French ☹️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We need to give the people back their heroes!

And here comes Sam!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nice start from the Aussies. Just need a bit of luck and to snag a goal

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

A viking clap? We're not Iceland!

Godam. So many half chances for the Tillies

Where are my heart pills?

unreal game. best I've seen. wow!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

France are so good! They're certainly the hardest opposition the Matildas have faced. It would have been nicer to get a goal in regular time, but Peyraud-Magnin and Arnold would have none of that.

I hope I don't end up eating these words, but I was more worried about France than either England or Colombia.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

for sure! that French defence was really good and we got lucky with the dissalowed goal!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I fucking can't

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Now! Do it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We got away with a no pen there

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Aàaaaaaaarnold!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

idk who cleared that last one but there was a French player ready to poke in in front AND behind her

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You won.

Now, ignore it. It's worth nothing.

You need to qualify. Again....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Australia cautious about pressing high early on. Or rather leaving space behind...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Halftime 0-0. Probably a fair reflection of the match. France had more opportunities, but Australia had better chances.

When do you bring Sam Kerr on? If I'm coach, she's on for the second half.
