Oh ■■■■. My bad. His nerves will be well and truly calmed

Oh yeah, Sydney Derby this weekend

That game was 16-0 at HT.

We really really needed to get out of Oceania after that

Although personally this day when Lloyd kicked 13 was a billion million trillion times better. I was sitting on a tractor helping my old man harvest his rice crop.

Time wasting when you are 8-0 down is a bold strategy.

Wow for some reason I thought we scored 21 and Thompson 9. How wrong was I.

Yep that made a complete joke of the Oceania conference. Going from winning like that to playing off against a top 5 South American team was like winning a picnic race at Nhill to racing in the Melbourne Cup.

Smart move from the goalkeeper here. Leave the pitch.

Interestingly the game before the socceroos set a new record 22–0 over tonga.

Where the Tildas couldn’t miss in the first half, they can’t find the back of the net from multiple shots in the second half. Next minute #9 is slotted in by Raso.

Any chance of a shot on target this half?

Fascinating to see the Matilda’s selling out a 50,000+ capacity stadium for a match against Uzbekistan.

2 years ago, this match would have sold no more than 4,000 tickets (if lucky).

The Matildas are far more marketable and watchable than the vanilla plodders of the Socceroos.

Matilda’s actually have players who can dribble

Are our U23 men any chance of qualifying for the Olympics? Do we have any decent young players?

Hopefully Graeme Arnold isn’t coaching them
