By the way can the sheila commentator who keeps saying 'that is world class' just fucking stop.

Of course it's 'world class', it's an international fucking match FFS. What else would it be?

Even if we make the next round, we would be silly to ignore the regression of this team. 

Gustavsson is not taking us forward. Relying too much on players who have had there chance and are past it, and the use of tactics that do not get the best out of this team. The other nations are not waiting around to improve, we should be doing the same. Yes Banda is a quality player, but we should be dominating a side like Zambia. 

We cannot allow what happened to the Soccerroos to happen to the Matildas. 

Good to see you back Zimbo.

Gustavsson the Holger of women's football?

Montemurro was in Australia for the A League Womens game vs Arsenal. We should have thrown the kitchen sink at him then.

An opportunity lost.

The problem is the lack of accountability of these teams, for example when the Olyroos crashed out of the u23 championship in the group stages not a single peep about it.

I think the FA have been lucky the national teams have been getting the rub of the green in terms of results, it could go so easily the other way and if you don’t have the highest standards you can’t afford to hide from public scrutiny.

Can I ask why it's specifically the manager and not the team getting the blame?

To score 4 unanswered goals to win from 5-2 down is quite incredible but on the flip side to concede 5 goals in the first place especially against a low ranked team is quite concerning if they want to win a medal at this tournament.

Great to win but plenty of question marks.

don't we need to hope zambia don't beat germany and relegate us to 4th?

Yes but very unlikely with the goal difference aswell.
Matildas hopefully don’t get slaughtered by the u.s. and Zambia doesnt edge Germany.

France win or draw and we make the 1/4s, Canada win and our chances are slim, even with a -6 start.

that was the craziest match I've ever seen....If we fix our defence we are in the box seat

those whoa are good at coaching defence, what is going wrong?

for me it looks like too much space between the lines and not enough prep on set pieces
