Great Strike!

I can't believe I'm going to say this but C'MON Brazil.  You bunch of diving parasitic mongrels.

Heart in mouth stuff. The Yanks peppering the goal with no result.

Good stuff. The US needs three unanswered goals in 74 minutes now.

Brazil defence looks like it could ship five easily though 😞

Brazil up 1 nothing! great game!

Brazil lead 1-0

It’s going to be tight and I’d expect Brazil to put up a fight but ultimately lose so the title goes according to:

1) Points;
2) Goal difference;
3) Goals scored;
4) Head-to-head;
5) FIFA Ranking

But it won’t get passed three now as the US will have to score more goals than us just to tie GD

I think we needed to beat Japan by 2 more goals that the US beats Brazil because if we ended up equal on everything the US wins by the final tie breaker which is which team has the higher FIFA ranking.

These poor subs that get put on with 30 seconds to go.  

FT 2-0, another good win for the girls.

Any US draw or loss and we go back to back, as does any win by one goal. If they win by two goals or more they'll get it on goals scored.

What has Raso done with her sleeves?

Yeah I wondered that but logged on with the VPN first and it worked.  Haven't tried without it.

One more goal for us and the US will have to bang in at least 3 against Brazil.

I take it with similar goal difference after 2 games the Seppos are ahead because they've scored more?

@ Muz. Agreed. I think most of our young Aussie male strikers would have stuffed that up somehow.

I can't help think that 90% of blokes would have gone arse up trying to get the foul there when Kerr went around the keeper.  She is a gun.

Fantastic from Kerr, would have been easy to panic there and fluff it up.

Amazing by Kerr! One touch of Simon's through ball dummies the onrushing keeper, she gets it inside the last two defenders and passes it into an open net!

Might not actually need VPN for this.

Sometimes the Matilda’s, over the last year, seem to have become a little lazy, complacent and even a tad self entitled? There’s been no significant improvement in some of our play tbh

Is Sam Kerr Timmy Cahill in disguise?  She's terrific in the air. 

Another free kick in the same place we scored last time.

Logged on with my VPN to the US and I'm watching it through this link if anyone wants to do the same.

Banger of a free kick! Kennedy blasts it to the left of the wall and beats the keeper at the near post.

Without van egmond, we look terrible.
Why does gielnik get the nod over someone like yeoman-Dale?
Not sold on gorry anymore either. Would have her as a 3rd or 4th option in AM.

Wow Carpenter is fast.

I'm in.  Fair dinkum though, what a root around.

You haven’t missed much so far. But this is a winnable game I recon.

(And the App is literally thirty seconds behind game time)

Thanks.  Thought so.

Just realised my work phone is telstra.  Downloading app now.

@ Muz

If you’re with Telstra MyFootball is free. If you’re not you have to pay an annual fee (I don’t think it’s much).

I don't know why, but everything time I read "Matildas" I read "Midas" (Matidas) for some reason 😞
