I know shouldn't compare men and women but the skills and intelligence of some players are huge.

They got Caitlin Foord on LW and we have Metcalfe. The got a very talented Mary Fowler and the Socceroos got none of that kinda player. 
As much as I love the Socceroos, they are so painful to watch.

No VAR FIFA World Cup Qualifier. Why are we all using var at a cost when fifa isn’t even using it for their own tournaments?

Luck of the post tonight but they all count. Was a very nice corner by Hrustic despite no one latching onto it. Bit of a buffer now. Happy for Rowles.

Hrustic threading balls through just brings so much more than the panicked back passes from the rest. It's much better.

3 subs either when we score a 3rd or hit 72min

Iredale for Taggart
Yazbek for Baccus
Silvera for Metcalfe

I'm confused. FIFA does use VAR. Do you mean we shouldn't have to pay for it ourselves? Is VAR being used tonight?

It certainly does. Gross error sucks when replays are shown and that was where the idea came from. I'd be fine with no VAR provided the media and pundits totally shut up about all the small offsides, fouls and handballs. We never used to be shown replays of all the studs up challenges. Players also used to just get on with it. Now they know VAR could send an opponent off they lie down prompting checks.

Atkinson shoved out straight into Duke and Iredale at knee height made me think ACL's galore.....

Iredale finally makes his debut after being named in Arnold's first ever squad but for the friendly game to be cancelled. So happy for him after those injury setbacks.

It's been a long time coming consider how off the radar he seemed when his name would pop up every week scoring for Wolfsburg reserves.

Lebanon attacking now will hopefully open things up.

Bos just said not too concerned but a scan tomorrow. Here's hoping. McGree moon boot but relaxed. Honestly, Olympics aside, not the worst time for these things to happen.

Daniel Garb reporting that Jordan Bos says "he doesn't think it's too serious and will get a scan tomorrow to make sure" which is very relieving for me. Might just go back to Belgium for now and rest for the international break

Your comment earlier about international break injuries is true. Also we've been stuffed around plenty of times with our players getting hurt just before the window. Part of the game sadly and Murphy's Law timing.
