Press conference in soon. Odd but I sensed cracks were showing between team and coach among other issues i.e player form. 

Ray Gatt, and others, losing their shit on Twitter. Laying blame at FFA but reports seem to suggest it’s the playing group behind this. Which would mean the FFA really only have one option.

But then again, this is the FFA, so let’s just wait and find out. Press conference scheduled for midday.

I watched many Matildas games last year. You can tell from the way the team played and some of Allen Stajcic’s body language something’s not right.

Crazy.

Another slap in the face for the nuvo new dawn. The national teams, in particular the Matildas, were always going to start suffering, and it appears to have started already. What a disaster.

lol libel

Do you want to explain that comment a bit more, what exemactky do you mean?

Writing was on the wall with the way the last coach was sacked, prima donnas.

Nz squad for cup of nations.

Currently 1:1

Oof, 2-1 for the Young Matildas in the 93rd minute from an own goal from a corner after Myanmar went down to 10 girls due to a second yellow for kicking the ball away lol

I wonder if Bailey, Zois, McKenna or Lowry are related to anyone we already know?

Mini-Matilda's playing to fucking Han Berger play out from the back directive. Every other team in the world play the way our curriculum says.
The sooner we piss off the Han Berger cronies the better.

Wrong lineup for me. Not sure dower knows what her best 11 is yet.
Would be good to get fowler up top and mcnamara on the wing. Need them before the WC.

Winning is winning I suppose. Didn't watch much of it though. 

Certainly improvement in the squad, but Myanmar...

I heard Rae Dower doing commentary for some W League games and she sounded like a idiot.

Good to see Raso back.

On other matters I watched Kennedy shut down every attack that Perth launched on Saturday in the GF. Completely kept Kerr out of the game as well.  Hope she can keep that form up heading into the world cup.  She is terrific.

On the other hand if you were the opposition watching that you'd be paying pretty close attention as to how to blot Kerr out of the game.   

starting 11 should be

Williams
Carpenter/Polkinghorne/Kennedy/Catley
Butt/VanEgmond/Kellond-Knight
Raso/Kerr/Foord

I really like Kennedy, very underrated.

Harrison replaces an injured Logarzo.

Was listening to ABC grandstand on the weekend coming back from the Sydney FC game & Melissa Barbieri was calling the Melbourne Derby.  She was good & actually knew what she was talking about. 

You'd have to think that if the mini matildas fail to qualify again, that would be the end of Dower as a coach.
U16 team has never made it to the WC. We should breeze through this second stage of qualifying in march but without significant improvement, we will just get run over by Japan, the Koreans and china again in the last stage.

Starting 11 v Vietnam

Lowry/Stamatopolos/Morley
Rule/Zois
Farmer
Rankin/Nash/Wallhead/Taranto
Bailey

1-0 win vs Vietnam.

Jasnos with the goal in the 88th minute.

That win takes us through to the final stage of qualification later on in the year. A top 3 finish in the last stage gets you a ticket to the WC.
