Our games plus the semis and final are on SBS and SBSOnDemand.

Checked out the results from the first round of the U20 Womens World Cup. We top Group A, South Korea top Group C wit ha 3 nil win against Canada and Japan are equal top Group D after a 1 nil win over the Netherlands. Would this be the first World Cup where all Asian teams have won their first round match?

Our next match is 6.00am Sunday.

Same problem here in UK

Our goals did not the same quality as the Costa Rica goal

What a great result to the U20 young Matilda's. To beat the host country after going behind to a pretty spectacular goal showed great nerve and composure.

Anyone know where to watch the other games? Fifa+ doesn’t seem to work.

Some big girls in that side. Time to bring back the skin fold tests. Unless of course they don't want the coach sacked.

Jesus what a cracker.

What a goal by Costa Rica. 

2-1 up vs Costa Rica at the half.

Women's U20 WC getting underway in Costa Rica. Australia play the hosts at 12pm AEST. 

Aus win 2-0, saves ka with the first, stanic floody with the second goal.

tbh though, we should be destroying these teams in this age group (Myanmar, Malaysia, Phillipines, Indonesia, Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand, vietnam)
none Of the powerhouses like North Korea, South Korea, Japan or China in this tournament.

quite a few players missing though due to u20 WC and other commitments, Galic, dos santos, apotolakis, Lincoln, murphy, Karic. A few other players about that are very good also.

HALF TIME | We take a 1-0 lead going into the break in the #AFFU18Womens Final, with Sienna Saveska's goal the difference!

🇻🇳 0-1 🇦🇺 #VIEvAUS

Cheeky boy....... hope you didnt wear out the "pause" button on your remote :P

So players like Fowler and Cooney Cross are going to sit on the bench at best for there club teams, rather than go to a Fifa World Cup Tournament where they could be stars for there country. 
Still don't get it. Can't see the clubs having too much issue releasing fringe players for 2 or 3 weeks to play at an international tournament.
As for development of players for 2027. This is one of the first world cups an age group team has qualified for in an ages. Surely its worth taking more seriously than that. There is no time like now for these players. Next there won't be any coverage of the games in Aus on TV so young girls won't have anything to aspire to.

If you read blaney pressers it about producing players for 2027 wwc, so yes development
Fowler play champions League in August
Scandinavian players, resume season after euro 

Germany moaning about England handball. Once German TV slowdd it down and played it back and forth the ball has actually landed between her deltoid and breast and bounced along the arm and fist (not touching).

I'm amazed no one has raised this and the German coach was shown once quickly post game. German TV shot themselves in the foot with the back and forth replays. The white kit and ball made it hard spot but it's landed exactly where I described. German press conveniently showing the rear view only. 

I think you will find the u20 onmissions appear in the senior Matilda announcement in 2 weeks for Canada 

They are all in preseason and supposably won’t be released.
but if you look at other countries rosters….

wben you have to start bringing 2006 born players, clearly development issues

So why didn't they pick overseas players like Fowler and Cooney Cross for the U20 WC team? Its a Fifa world cup. Not a development tournament. 
Surely those players would have been keen. WSL doesn't start till mid Sep. You look at most of the stars at the womens euros. Russco, Hemp, Kelly, Stanway etc. They all went to past U20 world cups. What's up with the Australian players. Surely the players would be keen, Its a prestigious tournament with lots of eyes on it.

WTF are you doing blayney….

How good was the goal celebration by the English lass?

Correct, great day out in a private box to boot

biggest ever crowd for a euro final I believe too

If you're interested Optus have the Euro final for free up on their page. (Plus the usual mini - matches.)

Germany 2 - France 1. 3 quality goals.

England Germany final.

AFF U18 champs, 1st game

Matildas 4 - Phillipines 0

Prakash 26th, Beier 59th, Prakash 62nd, Lobo 69th


Not great drive, desire or tempo….
just much more skilled up at this level.

FA is also seeking $16.3 million in high-performance funding over the next four years to ensure the Matildas get the preparation they need to actually win the Women’s World Cup in 2023, which would be used for 92 domestic camps, 38 international tours for youth national teams, and other friendlies and tournaments.

Piss that dud coach off. Where do I send my invoice?

"Football Australia announced on Wednesday it had already clinched $230 million in funding from federal and state governments for their “Legacy ’23” campaign, which is aimed at leveraging the World Cup to boost participation rates, improve community facilities and stadiums, and set up leadership and development programs for women in the sport."

Requests have gone out for club to release, no response means no select 

reluctant to release?, certainly a bunch of bs if you look at other countries pre WC lists.
