Said it before and I'll say it again. A major international competition of Australia's most participated sport held in Australia mostly being a paywall is an utter disgrace.

No, no, not those countries.

Though I imagine if someone rocked up in a blue and yellow country in Eastern Europe, whether they'd kick them out

It was surprising when they first released the tickets for that, didn't complain of course.

Dynamic pricing needs to go, but I guess yay interest in games?

Four goals and three assists in 14 (if I my notes are correct). Leading chances created which is a tick in the pro column, but I do think that this Asian Cup, if selected, could be her swansong from professional football, as she has been noticeably slower

#WSL #Matildas Round up

Full game - Ellie, EVE, Foord, Kennedy, Wheeler, Hunt, Torpey (WSL2)
Most of the game - Catley (84'), Rule (60')
Came off the bench - Gorry (~35'), Kerr (~15 mins)
Not in the squad - Fowler, KCC, Grant

Kennedy playing CB under new coach. Grant more of a doubt for Asian Cup

It'll be interesting to see if they bring anyone into the squad that fresh, or rely on Sayer/Fowler (if fit) to float into those roles.

An international major sporting competition held on shore, with most of the games behind a paywall?

Fellow Australian based peeps - how are we feeling about the lead up coverage and vibes for the Asian Cup? I know it's not the World Cup, but gosh it's a bit concerning how little I'm seeing/hearing outside of the usual circles.

If Fowler doesn't get minutes in the next fortnight then I can't see her being picked, unless City guarantees she's ready and she's just not playing due to other reasons.

Also agree with others re EVE's spot.

I wouldn't be surprised if that is the squad.

It's a bold move for a player who's been injured more than fit over the past few years and wasn't a lock in when fit.

Kerr and Carpenter starting AND Catley and Foord also starting?

Hell yeah.

Tbh the one earlier today when Potts was batting was similar and same decision made. But overall I agree that the technology is beyond saving
