Matildas The Matildas and The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup

[Dixie Flatline]

Cant believe james is allowed to play after what she done only 2 game suspension.

FIFA at work. One of the reasons I am supporting Spain. James shouldn't be playing.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It’s a miracle she’s fine

 

[BobbyMorri]

i wonder if she will also fail a concussion test a couple days afterwards.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Surely that's concussion

 

[Andronicus]

A card for that is everything that's wrong with foot netball.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This English coach will cop it

Been a bucket better since James has come in

 

[Fabab]

No hia ffs.

 

[Skeppersap]

It was behind the line actually

It had left the ground when the ball was struck, therefore it is the front foot that counts as the contact point

 

[SC_Power]

nah, its forgivable.

have the confidence to make it unsavable. Put the boot in it, ala Mary Fowler. Sometimes it goes wrong but all in your hands.

As a goalkeeper, I’m happier that you would try that.

Stats clearly show the most successful percentage penalties are straight up the middle.
They also show that the most successful penalty save percentages are when the goalkeeper doesn’t dive.
Its purely the fear of the media and supporter backlash that prevents takers going down the middle, and prevents keepers from not diving,

Poms got away with plenty in the Semi, can't go crying foul about it now.

I want Spain to win but I want extra time.

 

[manureid]

This is the same shitty ref from our semi isn't it?

 

[kaiserchief13]

Spanish players acting...

 

[BobbyMorri]

this ref is consistent.

yellow doesn't exist, unless you kill someone.

 

[Dockerjonz]

12mins injury time coming up

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Karma.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I want Spain to win but I want extra time.

I’ll take a Spain win regardless

 

[Andronicus]

This is the same shitty ref from our semi isn't it?

The "look at me" yank.

 

[Xtreme]

It’s a miracle she’s fine

 

[danielnajdek]

Pom players whinge a lot.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

This is the same shitty ref from our semi isn't it?

I thought it was the other American ref that refereed our game.

 

[BobbyMorri]

going to be 25 mins of ET here.

 

[MJG14]

How on earth did the semi final ref get a gig here?

 

[two blue tiger]

Hollywood stuff coming as we go into slow down mode.....

 

[LukeParkerno1]

At this rate there’s 20 mins of injury time
