You have to respect them for their achievements but absolutely they are. Pretty sure the hype is driven by Soccer itself to promote the game & get more kids playing it. Our local club in our town jumped all over it & ran it on Facebook constantly trying to get kids over from AFL.Is it controversial to say the Matildas are the most hyped national sporting side for a team that was won nothing.
Missing Sam Kerr is a big loss but there 2 performances in Paris have been abysmal. Now i wasn't expecting a Gold Medal but the performances so far like letting Zambia put in 5 goals is a deadset disgrace really.
I found it interesting Charlotte Caslick the Aussie rugby 7s captain took a swipe at them before the games began saying it would be nice if they got more support considering they have won Gold medals and are a fair chance again while the Matildas would be lucky to get out of the group it seems there is tension around the women's sporting circle with the Matildas.
Is it Jealousy.
When comparing the Matildas to the Aussie Women's cricket team who have won everything like T20 World Cups, ODI World Cups, Comm Games Gold Medals, Ashes series 3 or 4 times over and had the likes of Meg Lanning, Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry dominate for a decade.
They are still the number 1 women's sporting team in the country for mine.
The problem was they are such a poorly run organisation any kids who went over have since come back because it’s run by older English blokes who didn’t know how to deal with youth.
