Obviously early days, but I feel comfortable comparing her to Alana Murphy & Kyra Cooney-Cross at around the same stage of career.

She has all the attributes you’d want in a modern midfielder

My son will jump out from corners, point at me and yell “Manamana!”

He won’t move until I sing “doo doo do do doo”

Or even real people making pointless noise, like when Sony re-released Morbius because they couldn’t tell sarcasm from genuine interest

Hot take: Israel isn’t really in Europe anyway.

The arrogance of Tony Blair is astounding.

If i personally AND my predecessors had famously and repeatedly destroyed an entire region while somehow avoiding war crime prosecution, I’d keep a low profile.

Right now. She’d be picked on credits in the bank, not current merit, which sucks, because I think we need her at her best

That’s true, I just think they should be on the same side of the red line as chemical weapons.

Nations definitely stockpile them, but it’s a written rule that it’s against the rules of war.

I’m sure there were similar thoughts about the tank but it’s scary it’s just accepted

Drones should be an illegal weapon of war.

There should be some risk to a military operation to theoretically give people pause.

This is death by PlayStation controller.

I wish there was a way to watch Galic every week. She’s playing every game and scored again this week.

You’re right. Time to drop Kerr

Hey, we managed to hold out Norway for a lot of the game…which in theory and on paper looks like a good effort

I don’t know the answer, but one of the big issues with #Matildas selection over the years has been perception of or actual integrity in the lineup.

There are always exceptions, but centre midfield isn’t like Raso on the wing, you need to get able to dominate the game.

Let’s say Kyra gets 0 minutes before the Asian Cup. Obviously she’s in our best 23 players still, but should she still start over players who are playing 90 minutes in comparable leagues?

At a government level, the “American view on morality,” is not something anybody should support.

This is what new Melbourne Victory signing Poppy O’Keeffe does really well.

Links play, moves defenders about, keeps probing and bringing teammates into space.

She’s a gem and I think sits comfortably as a comparison Alana Murphy and Kyra Cooney-Cross when they were at FV Academy

She’s a baby in the way Jack Jack from The Incredibles is a baby. She has special powers…
