Summer Paris 2024 - The Matildas Thread

[jhong]

It’s all falling apart for the Matildas.

 

[Wickzki]

3-2. Raso!

 

[jhong]

What a crazy game .

 

[Plugger35]

The Matlidas strike back with a header, it's a shootout, 3-2 and it isn't even half time.

 

[Wickzki]

2-3 down but we could be 4-5 to 3 up.

 

[hotchilli]

We just can't defend at all right now...

 

[jhong]

It’s a cruel game .

 

[Plugger35]

Wow another goal to Zambia, a bit of luck but the fortune favours the brave.

 

[stax on the mull]

Looking like we're going to cop a flogging. Zambia just don't need as many chances to score as we do. Never going to catch them at this rate.

 

[Plugger35]

Entertaining game, deserves a bigger crowd.

 

[jhong]

Our defending is a horror show .

 

[stax on the mull]

I didn't even see the first goal. By the time I figured out which channel it was on they were at the reset in the middle with the camera on Banda. Banda 1.

Their strikers are dynamic but we've fed them passes. Van Egmond just lost it in midfield and they pounced on it and scored and it was a terrible decision by Arnold to come so far out and just knock it down the middle.

One good thing about all these goals happening is that it gives Speedy less time to bore everyone sh*tless with how much trivia he knows.

 

[Visions]

Both defences are putrid.

Aussies copped their fair whack and any decent team would have put 5 past Zambia in that half.

Australia need more set pieces as it seems the only way they can score.

 

[hotchilli]

Got to stop these turnovers that continue to leave us exposed.

 

[Wickzki]

At this stage, I'd accept our girls being able to keep their feet.

 

[Plugger35]

The Zambian goalkeeper is playing a blinder, she got some help from the goal post there though.

She isn't getting much help from the rest of their defenders.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Hopefully this is the end of Gustavsson. He's been an absolutely horrid coach, a bit like Southgate in that he had some dream runs at tournaments but then come unstuck against good teams. Similar happened at the home tournament where the crowd carried that team through. His tactics are absolutely shocking and are not conducive to what this team can do.

 

[Bradesmaen]

5 goals conceded. Swiss cheese.

 

[Wickzki]

Goodbye Matildas.

 

[hotchilli]

Very nice finish.

 

[jhong]

won’t be getting out of the group.

 

[Whiskers]

These Matilda’s are going to take all the attention off Jess Fox aren’t they? Whatever happens.
5-3

 

[hotchilli]

This match is chaos lol.

 

[Wickzki]

Hahaha 5-3.

This game is crazy.

 

[Plugger35]

Another goal to Zambia.

Then another goal to the Matildas.

This is a crazy game, the best form of defence is attack,
