Mary Fowler out of tomorrow night's game.

Obviously Kerr still out as well. Not great.

Matildas' goalie is ****

 

[CrazyMatt]

Well, that was a disaster.

Well, that was a disaster.

Coach only decides to bring on substitutes on after being 3-1 down and only after 82 mins. Brings on a defender (Polkinghorne) before he brings on an attacking midfielder (Chidiac who should have started I think). I know we were hampered by injury but he still had 3 up his sleeve and didn't use them. Meanwhile Nigeria kept making change after change to waste time. Unbelievable.

And to add salt into the wound, the pommy women beat Denmark 1-0.

Big shock - Germany beaten 2-1 by Columbia.

First goal for Columbia was a dead set gem as well.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Matilda’s 1-0 up!

 

[Sir Chadley]

Should have been 2-0 but VAR said offside??? Didn’t look like it to me.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Now it’s 2-0. Raso has both goals.

Sam kept in cotton wool.

Yeah so good, I was very nervous for this game.

Are we any wiser on when Sammy is coming back?

So likely Denmark next round?

She probably could of played about half an hour tonight if needed. Obviously we didnt need to take the risk. I think she’ll feature against Denmark probably off the bench.

Luckily for Italian defender Benedetta Orsi, she's not Colombian, after that own goal. Goalkeeper should also take some of the blame, should have been ready for it even though it was a bit over hit. Arrivederci

Was a ripper alright

Germany now gone too. Some real heavyweights have crashed out in the group stage. Can only help the Matildas obviously.
