mack Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 The 2023 World Cup will be hosted in Australia & New Zealand, starting from the 20th of July where Australia & New Zealand will play their opening group stage games until the final on 20 August in Sydney. 32 teams like the Men's World Cup had been for about 30 years.

The Reddit crowd is mostly on board with it because there is a lot of notice and the result of this seems to be that the clubs will play at suburban grounds again

Penrith Park will be closed from 2023. Only 4 major stadiums (Cronulla, Brookvale, Comm Bank and Campbelltown) will be available or 5 if you include Wollongong to NRL clubs during the Women's World Cup next year.
Paul01 Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 Just watched some of the u16 Youth Talent ID game. Didn't appear to be any technical players, just pace & power type players.

SBW Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Tony Gustavsson is a bigger fraud than Carl Robinson is. I am still trying to think what or how Gustavsson convinced the idiots at the FFA to keep his Matildas coaching gig after pathetic coaching at the Asian Cup. Holgier Osick was sacked for much less after the 6-0 loss to Brazil despite getting us to the 2014 WC. EmMac, sonar and Carns 3

We're in deep trouble with female player development as the European nations are moving ahead in leaps and bounds. Many criticised him for not blooding fringe players in previous games but now he's getting hammered for throwing those same players to the lions !! Spain were brilliant and it wouldn't surprise me if they won the Euros. Portugal will be a more decent test for this squad.

Those young and fringe players aren't going to learn anything from that thrashing from Spain. I agree about the European nations, at one point, the women can play in 3 leagues, W-League, NWSL and Japan, now that Spain, England, France and Germany have made their womens league professional and major European clubs investing significantly into their women's team has left Australian football behind once again. The W-League needs to be professional and full-time, and their needs to be heavy investment into our youth development for our women's team

Its just a matter if both parties want to invest their money in the women's game. A Professional W-league needs to happen, a lot of the women are part time players and have school, work and other commitments, some of them couldn't play on game day because of that.

Well there's been a positive announcement today but the commitment remains to be seen. The expanded comp is still likely to be 'Aussies only' as I can't see major OS players plying their trade here.
Davo Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 Crazy refereeing in the tillies game overnight. Courtney Nevin was on a yellow and hacked the Portuguese player down on the edge of the box. Instead of giving her a second yellow and sending her off the ref booked Charlotte Grant, who didn't even touch the player. Then Portugal equalised late with one of the most offside goals I've seen in a while.

The W-League was blessed with major overseas players from the NWSL and from Europe in the past but now we need to develop our local talent and have a proper talent pool for our women's team

Paul01 Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 In the AFF competition, Australia U23 just beat Singapore 4-1. Wanderers twitter feed has been posting the line-ups. Gallagher started in the first 2 games Apostalakis has featured in the last 2 games. Gallagher scored a goal tonight against Singapore. Australia sits third on the table after losing to Stajcic's Philippines, drawing with Thailand, and beating Indonesia. To progress, we need the Philippines to beat Thailand on the final day, unless Thailand draw or lose a game.
Sithslayer1991 Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 U-20s are about to get underway on SBS. Its weird not seeing Lucy and Foster on the panel for SBS.
Sithslayer1991 Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 Very scrappy 1st half from both sides that seemed to spark to life once we conceded that bomb and finishing the half 2-1 up. The girls won 3-1 in the end Costa Rica only really had their captain as the main danger to worry about. Good shift by Wanderers players Bryleeh Henry and Sheridan Gallagher especially in the 2nd half. Paul01 1
