This is partially due to lack of funding by the government to promote the game locally.

But yes the rest of the world don’t stop for this game, we can’t afford too.

lol oh man, i could absolutely tee off on this topic. i might do so tomorrow if i find some time.

executive summary: football is packed to the brim with protectionists, government can’t work out how to fund it because no two people ever give the same answer to any question.

Gustavsson made some errors.

It was a big mistake to take Polkinghorn off, and expect Carpenter to play Central defender.

The confusion between Hunt and Carpenter for the last goal was evident.

Goal of the tourney for sure that will be replayed for years

Jeez what a goal by Kerr to bring us back level, was so up and about after that.

But then two horrifically bad defensive efforts that cost us goals

And two clear missed opportunities Kerr might have otherwise normally nailed header and kick wise. So much pressure on her and didn’t capitalise

Poms were tough bordering on crude though and so well organised in defence, and clinical when they did get their chances. They are the top ranked team for a reason.

Super dissapointing but also amazing effort by team to get as far as they did

Future teams now need to take the next step

Disappointing performance by the Matties. England were way too good all over the ground, and controlled possession of the ball far better and for longer, they were a class above all game. Both teams had chances, England took theirs in a clinical manner. At 2 - 1 down Kerr misses a goal from 3m out, and a couple of minutes later England scored for 3 - 1. Our defence was deplorable, too easily moved off the ball and not well organized, they lacked pace as well.

SA state government is putting up $18m over 3 years for women’s sporting facilities with $10m of it going to women’s soccer. The SA football federation is matching that $10m dollar for dollar

Unlike Brendan McCullum, Sarina Wiegman isn’t a little sook

The Matildas were worse.

And confirmed that Channel 7 will show the playoff at 5pm Sunday
