The Australian coach looks like a puppet on a string

Its maybe a bit of a patronising cliché but every time I watch womens football (just the major international tournaments) Im blown away by how much it has improved. Goals today have been sublime. Loved the little reverse pass for our third.

Excellent so good to beat them on their own midden

Last waltz for the Matildas 

[AllRoverAsia]

Great win and a much improved performance.

A good game of football between 2 skilled and competitive teams who kept going until the end.

The Ref? Stats show 4 fouls against the Aussies and 11 against England. In your dreams Ref.

They’re all shouting Go Spain outside the stadium apparently 

What a nation of tossers

Technically they are very good. Well coached as well. Becoming professional has improved the women’s game no end. It used to be awful.

U20s won the World Cup in 2017. Can we count that?

Apart from elite levels, it still is.

I’ll have another go

The Lionesses are the first senior England football team to reach a World Cup final since 1966

Hope this is ok with all the pedants

You forgot to add male or female 🤣

[jim mk2]

There's always one more 

The Aussie press is a good read. They're not happy.

They never are when they’ve lost. The World’s worst losers.

[AllRoverAsia]

It's professional football at World Cup level and the bottom line is we did target Kerr and did it well but she's so good she still scored a cracker and would have got at least 1 more if fully match fit.

They weren't exactly shrinking violets either.

Any criticisms from the Sisters of Sledge should just go down the shit pan.

He didn't need to, because his statement was still unequivocally true.

England were slow to start the tournament but got better throughout. The gulf in class over us was obvious.

To be honest, he was lucky to be in the job before the World Cup. He has hardly set the world on fire and was totally out coached last night.

I see the Americans are sniffing round Weigman looking for a new manager,they can fuck off she's going nowhere
